i would skip on the nutrients for about a week and use straight water cause it seems to me to be a nutrient burn on your leaves. distilled water should raise the ph some and hopefully green out the next node of leaves to grow
Im in the middle of my third cfl grow with seeds of an unknown source. The first batch was ok, but i was very new to this type of botany. Also i used no nutes, just water. My second grow was a whole lot better, actually making frosty buds. Now im at it again. the clones are looking healthy...
i agree with indigrow, because you would want the canopy as spread out as possible for bud growth. You could be robbing yourself of bud sites by not allowing sunlight into the inside of that braid. I will say it would make a good trophy at the end...good luck
