Yes I can, I don't really see anything going on. No hugging of the lights, nothing near a light. Are you talking about your fan leaves drawing up towards the bud, much like an umbrella folding up?

The hugging you are talkin about is also refered to as praying for magnesium. The leaves lift up like they are praying. Its not a big deal. Your plants look very healthy. You could bump up your calmag feeding to every feeding with out a problem. Hope this helps it looks like everyone else is use to seeing major problems around here. Again its not a big deal.

I will 2nd the calmag.. If they are hungry they need a feeding. The one size fits all approach doesn't work well on the wider spectrum.

They look good though, if you over feed them the first sign is burnt tips on the leaves. I don't see that. If you keep them a bit hungry they will flush better and in the end get better quality smoke.

Ya I think they look good. Maybe getting a little on the light green/yellow side, but that's not always a "bad" thing. The yellow could be because of a nutrient defficiency. Do you have a Ph tester? Maybe the soil and or water is too high on PH.

my ph goes in at around 5.7 and the run off from my bucket comes back around 6.2 i think the problem is my bucket has 3/4 rocks and 1/4 dirt i feed once a day i dont think its enough im thinking of returning the run off back to the tank so i could recycle the water maybe let them dry then feed dry feed etc. through the day light hours what do you think ?

I think you're trippin a bit. The plants look good. Don't start screwing with them too much. The yellowing does appear to be a bit of low nutes, but not bad at all. Mkaing a change can cause much worse issues. Underfed is better then overfed. Nute burn is bad stuff.
