Hello, This is my first grow, I have 4 plants (from bag seeds, but from top quality smoke) that I am a little worried about. They are in a homemade growbox, sitting in miraclegrow organic potting mix. I water about every 3-4 days. I have been running them under 90W LED UFO Grow Lights for veg for a good few months (maybe 10 weeks total).
Progress was nice, but slow. I had not introduced nutes when I should have, so I ran into an issue with a nitrogen deficiency about 2 weeks ago (week 8 of life), but this has since been solved by introducing nutes (3-1-3, diluted first dose, regular strength for second). About the same time I cooked the plants.
The small veggie box I built did not have an adequate intake/exhaust system, and it got warm here. The temperature got pretty darn hot in the box for a few days (90 degrees +). This, combined with my fear of overwatering cooked them. 75% of the leaves were crispy and had to be removed. I since installed a good ventilation system which seems to be working well (temperature varies between 72-78 degrees)
The plants seem to be doing very well considering I butchered them, but after I cut off all of the 5 leaves, only 3 leaves have come back on some of the plants. They are about to outgrow the veggie box (about 14" tall) and I want to know if I should trim them back and wait for 5 leaves to appear, or should I stick them into the flower box as they are? Also, Is it normal for a plant in recovery to revert back to making 3 leaves?
I took some pics, but am having issues uploading them right now. I will probably come back and post them in a little bit.
Thanks for all help!
