Here I grow again

work got in the way, finally got my res changed, ppm'd at 1000. Back right Bruce has some sketchy looking leaves but new growth looking good. both back plants a little over 12" now, will wait to see a positive response from res change and Flip.
The plan is to clean up the bottom just before flip leaving only a couple nodes, and their fan leaves, on each stem.
Thanks for looking as usual any help/constructive criticism appreciated.IMG_1693.jpgIMG_1694.jpgIMG_1695.jpg

They are now sitting at a squat 14”. Time to flip.
The new growth is looking good, the leaves that were’t looking good, look worse but they will be getting trimmed off soon as I take some clones in the coming days. Hopefully it was just in need of a res change. FBB67EC1-875C-4890-8E21-0B1A015F5E18.jpeg

Things still looking nice, cleaned up the canopy and took clones for next round. Looks like the back row will be taller than the front. Plan is to let them grow, trim again if needed at day 21 from flip.( only starting day 4 as of now)750EFFE3-7443-4699-8F47-F9C885D25A14.jpeg0F1A8169-68D2-4272-9041-FE257E425AE0.jpeg

Streching out, one of the Bruce Banners is very squat the other is the tallest(21”). Day 9 since flip.View attachment 4922982View attachment 4922983
Great looking grow! After looking at several of your pictures here I can say with near 99% certainty your plants are experiencing light burn rather than a nutritive issue. These new LED's kick out a lot of light. It's very easy to light bleach foliage because you don't feel any heat coming off of the light. If you're anything like me I assumed since it was 78 degrees F everything was right as rain. I stuffed a 450w sf-4000 in a 5x5 at full blast. Bleached an entire crop of plants in 72 hours before I figured out what LED light bleaching was. Kinda blew my mind.

The one thing I noticed is how bright the light is reflecting off of your foliage creating a lime green look on the plants. Too much light. Simple solution to a simple problem. I'd bet if you raise your light to 24" within a week your problem would be gone.

Just as an example this here is a very large critical mass under 2 110w LED qb's. They're only at 50% power so about 110w total output. Any more output at that distance and I'd bleach the canopy badly.

Another example of distance with normal sized plants in my nursery tent. Notice how much distance is there between the lights and the plants. These were most likely at full power over those plants. More distance lets you increase the power. Only to a limit though. I find 220w spread between 2 qb's is the max I can put in my 5x5. Any more output would just be a waste because I wouldn't be able to really run it at full power without causing damage. Less is more in the world of LED lighting. Let it rain sunshine though week 4-finish in your flower cycle.

I raised the light, it’s as high as it can go, it’s now 24” above the tallest plant at 60%. Hopefully this will solve the leaf issue. The plants continue to grow and are progressing into flower nicely. 8F158E79-C3A6-4F5A-AAD4-DBEA776780DF.jpeg3C4CFEB0-9CA4-49BA-B6FF-FCCC557DA8BF.jpeg

Day 15from flip, still looking good tallest is now 28" (doubled so far). Should anyone be looking do you have opinions on defoiling at day 21? Something I've tried in the past, but again just want a solid grow start to finish here. ThanksIMG_1729.jpgIMG_1730.jpg

Jack on the back right is still slowly pushing upwards. Bruce is starting to show some light stress? again she’s now 14” from light with no room to raise it. First 3 pics show my concerned area growing slowly over the past week.63468324-6A4F-4FB6-BF3D-3F727C8B9E5F.jpeg6B8430C0-1FE7-487E-BBD0-9A4E7396FED7.jpeg1A8C53FF-95F9-46DD-9701-784C92C0E63B.jpegA9A92757-E299-472A-BFF6-1295CD2C7C54.jpegCF0905D1-1FD4-4630-9582-6807CA0D5392.jpegIf any one has advice I’m all ears. Otherwise the seem to be progressing nicely.

My ap is starting to get too heavy and drooping over, got creative and she’s all up and not leaning against the tent and into the fan. She’s also the only one throwing any brown pistols. Both Bruce and jack, pics in that order, continue to look good. Minus the runt in the front right. 719A03E6-36F7-42D0-8E3A-F68ABDD93665.jpeg892A5DC5-0C31-4CF6-9CD5-6E2004BB75E7.jpeg2250601B-3B9F-4966-879A-F3322D160F9E.jpegAAC390BF-4698-465E-93D0-62C7DED6F2EB.jpeg
