What are your temps and humidity level?

Leaves look a little heat stress

Day temps are around 27-28c and night time around 17-18c humidity is 60% day but spikes to around 85% when lights go out.
I would like to have more control over my temps but as i am essentially growing in a cupboard and need stealth its difficult :(
Also they were due to be fed, it was 24hrs since last feeding.

Gotta ask, who's that in your avatar?

Thanks, i did a LOT of reading before i got the chance to grow and as space was at a premium i decided topping was my best chance of getting a good yield :)

Trimmed a few of the under branches and small stuff off to get better airflow, she has nice thick stems so hopefully good things will come :D

I wish I knew who that was in my avatar! Lol. Just a random hot as fuck woman smoking weed. I am going to ask one of my GFs to pose naked in one of the rooms though, kind of on my bucket list.

The plants look great for sure. But those temps are high, if you want to grow the dankest weed possible you should find some way to cool it down. If you have an adjustable ballast I would dim it down, or raise it up. I always raise my lights for the last 10 days or so. About 18-24" for AC 600's. blasting the plants with light makes them grow big, but it also tends to fry the trichs to a crisp. If you ever run a scrog or have an even canopy you will see what I mean. The plants along the edges will have more trichs than the ones directly under the lights. If your rocking 600w HPS you could throw a 400 MH in there.

These are just the finer points that people don't tend to hash out over and over.

Still though, legit for sure.
You DO have a dehu or something to dry them with right....?

These are the kind of pointers i like to look out for and keep a note of :)
As this is my 1st grow i don't have anything dialled in yet and we had some crazy temps in the UK over summer that we don't usually have to take into consideration so she did get a bit hot :(

Erm no, i dont have a dehu for drying. I have been thinking about that recently as i'm coming towards the end and have been looking/reading for the best ways to dry and cure. Any tips are most welcome :)

You may not need a dehumidifier for the cure. Where I live it is regularly over 70% RH and I do not use one. I dry and cure in the same room as my flowering, I keep the humidity in the flowering room under control with a lot of airflow I have a fan that circulates air but does not blow directly on the buds and I have my inline fan and carbon filter. The RH in the veg room just because of the filters and scrubbing stays ~55%.

Thanks, tomorrow is the end of week 7 so approx 2 - 3 weeks to go. Gonna drop the nute strength over the next week so she can use up the chemicals and then hopefully just flush for the last week. Will update pics tomorrow and post up here :)

what soil are you using for that clone before you put it into the soilless pot because that plant is super healthy nice strong stems already(if i remember correctly thats what you said you were doing)

Thanks mate, i seem to find cloning easy but i dont know why, maybe it because i don't fuss over them.
Took 4 and rooted 4 :-) killed 2 cos i didn't need them :eyesmoke:

End of week 7, i've had some issues this week, had a bit of nute build up which caused the runoff to be almost 3000ppm / 5.1ph :-o i haven't been checking as regularly as i should have and temps have been a little high too, some leaves have burnt from heat and some tips from high ppm also got some canoeing going on on top leaves, i gotta take better care of her :mad:

Flushed yesterday and today with 500ppm 6.0ph and got runoff back down to 1100ppm 5.8ph so we'll see how she copes, also changed my inlet fan from a 4" to a 5" to help with temps.

Got her out of the cupboard to flush so took some pics in normal light (well with flash on phone)
