looks like you still have some time. I know it’s hard to have patience. It’s even harder on the first couple grows when you don’t have any experience to look back on. Did you happen to make a note of when you first saw pistils appear?
Notice how all the white hairs have mostly turned orange. when your top nugs are close to this is when I start with plain water and I’ll start checking trichs. I have flushed as little as 4 with good results.

Nailed it. Not having a reference yet makes me a little more impatient.
GSCE Autos. Both put in ground 77 days ago.
My flower clock says 33 days but honestly I’m at least a week late as I was still figuring out wth was going on.
Couple of the top buds on the more mature one.

I’d say more excitement than impatience. 
30-40 days does seem close. I would guess your half way give or take a week. Trust me, patience will be rewarded come harvest time. I also still see a lot of green at the base of the pistils. That is another indicator that you still have a bit.

GFOG auto little over two weeks above ground.
Has some wonky leaves. Been like that since forming. Not to worried about that or spots. Should I? Plant seems green and growing. Started it’s water cycle training. Ph’d 6.5 No feed yet as in HF soil. DLI running about 25. 77f/68%rh. Vpd staying around 1-1.2.
Hygrometer in pic shows 45, but that’s tent being open for pics…

The plants look fine to me. The only thing that I see is maybe back off the lights a bit. 25 DLI is strong for 2 weeks. They seem to be taking it, but you want some stretching for node spacing. Only on my 3rd grow, so others may have better insight.

I’ll give her a whirl at 20 for a bit. I’d like her to get a little legs to her. Thanks.

I agree with @patrick1960. I don’t measure DLI, but you node spacing is just a tad tight for my taste. Not a big deal though. As I understand the twisty leaves and darker green patches are a calcium deficiency. Not from a lack in the soil, but from a lack of roots to take it up and watering with neutral water. Pretty normal with seedlings. Take this with a grain of salt. I say cal def because I read it somewhere and when I started foliar feeding a little cal/mag to my seedlings I stopped seeing twisty leaves. It usually corrects itself as the plant grows better roots anyway.

Thanks folks. I lowered intensity to 80. I’ll give it a week and see if it spaces out a bit.
Cla-mag. I don’t have any of that. Maybe I should have a bit just in case.
Lots to learn.

Beautiful set up GrowBro! Clean! Nice work

I wouldn’t bother buying any. This is likely the only time you will use it. As your seedling game gets better you will need it even less. I have it for it for buffering Coco, and i didn’t even bother with the most recent soil round.

Right on. I’ll skip it. The less I have to add the better as far as I’m concerned.

Got evo 3s in. Had to drop them down to 80% verse my 3 visosuns 100w I ran at 100%. First real difference I’ve seen right out the gate. Not sure if changing lights during a grow is a good thing, but with everything else I’ve done wrong on this grow that would be the least.
So other day on tall one, I was bambooing the buds. Got a little aggressive. Long story short, it involves twine and tied back to base. Sigh.
@Highgrow I’ve only tested ppms once this grow. Just to make sure I could do it and see the process. I did get this the other day, and after seeing your woes I figured I best do another check.
I was reading another thread on here with some nute problems. Very detailed response. Not sure how to link thread.
And all seems content on farm with my Frankensteins.
@patrick1960 and @Gl1tch I lowered the DLI on the GFOG. Seems like she’s standing up more. The wonky leaves are still present a bit but the new growth isn’t showing signs of it.

I’m not sure how to link but I know how to quote!
Just hold to initiate copy then drag the text you want to quote. Then in the pic you’ll see quote underneath it. Click then it shows something like

This was a first for me. I have had a bit too much N at a few points in different grows vut never a full lockout. I suppose this is why we do indeed check our numbers every time we water 
I have done it b4 but i cant fully remember atm. I do believe if you copy/past the link it works too but i think there was an easier way too

Thanks for the info. I see the popup.
I’m still trying to learn this stuff myself. Some days I feel like I’m in a botany class.

@SeaOhAreWhy What is that contraption you are using to hang the branches for drying, and where did you buy it? It looks like a good one.

I think you should be OK with new lights, just try to adjust them slowly. the twisted growth won’t go away the damage is done as it were. You should see changes in the new growth. If your broken branch is still attached decent you can support it and wrap the wound gently with an ace bandage. I wouldn’t use twine cuz it won’t stretch with the plant and an ace bandage will breathe and stretch like gro-tape
The more you check your numbers the faster you will notice a problem. In coco I check PH EC in every single time I mix and I also check the reservoir regularly. I water to runoff every time and check the EC of runoff almost every day. In soil I check input every day or two and both outputs at least once a week. If you start in a big pot you will have to wait until your plant is big enough to water to runoff.
