Those hungry buds want a little more budding fuel, so they're stealing it from their leaves.

Ok let me dump out some more details so this can not happen next time..
the GH feed is 5-15-14 as a stand alone. I don’t mix anything else other that think skin + epsom prior to mixing in the maxibloom. It brings my water from 7.6ph/ 140ppm to 5.8ph/850ish ppm. I haven’t gone over the recommendation because I seen burnt tips.. I’m rolling with feed-water-feed-water. On water days I give them recharge or microbebrew at full strength 1x a week. Bloom boosters 1x a week as well.

frequency-every other day -3gal pots

You might want to raise the pH a bit if you're doing soil. Might make P and K more accessible.

Awesome. Anytime now, depending on how you want it.

I usually shoot for 10-15% before I give plain water for the next 2 dry cycles then chop. This looks like it’s past that point already.. like I said it’s only week 6 day 5.. I clipped a small sample.. gonna let it dry for a week or so, however long it takes in a box on top of the tent. I’ll leave the plant alone til I sample it.

Holy shit. Only like 7 weeks. That's a keeper.

Drifting thru week 7.
Day 53
I hit them hard on the nutes. Nutrient ppm about 1320. I was at 1150 last week. Couple of curled leaves here & there on 2 plants. Not horrible at all. We’re getting close to the end for a couple of them & not much defoliation has been done to them since the flip. Only selective leaves that were blocking lower leaves from getting light & dying leaves from the under the canopy. (I actually wait til they shrivel & fall off, or fall off at the slightest tug.

Week 8 day 1 & the forecast is looking pretty good. Both tents have been lit up for hours & everything is running steady.
The plants still looking hungry, but I’m done hitting them with high ppm feeds. Going to dim it down by 300ppm to around 1600. (Total including 140ppm from tap)
The intensity of the light must be making the plants suck that food up something serious lol
Here’s some pics. 82A885C3-1A3A-426D-8476-816A1881DAEC.jpeg4B4E3EA5-CF47-4B78-A9C4-D1F1CF069F18.jpeg7A54372D-9138-43B6-B680-79B83587D74B.jpeg9C74A1E2-D69D-4F87-85B1-761FBFC2417A.jpeg6E805654-8069-4A40-93C6-C80E46A28BA3.jpeg9C07AD6A-BF96-497C-9EA9-CB71482871B7.jpegAC7DFD4D-9B8F-4C55-A54B-3D02F73295D1.jpeg24DC5424-C636-4380-8F7D-D77BB3D7B043.jpeg8490FED1-2542-4EB6-AF9E-535A8ECE01EE.jpeg

What temperature difference did you notice by moving the driver out side of the tent?
Click to expand...
The difference that I’ve noticed, and grown fond of is how much easier it is to control the temp. Less heat radiating from the driver. Temp difference with driver in/out is about 12 degrees tho. Fans working about 25% harder to keep the heat down tho.
The driver being on top with the exhaust blowing on it keeps the driver cooler. I can grip it with my hand, and not know it’a even on.
