Hi there,

Im in week four of veg, and I was planning to go into flowering. However, the story is that I had to leave my plants for 4 days and when I came back that was awaiting me.

Light Distance - 31.5cm (12") / Light cycle 20/4
Watering - pH 5.7~6 / every 2.5 hours for 15 minutes (air pump in the tank that works 24/7)
Temps - 23-26C (75-79F) with a good drop of 5-7C during dark.
Humidity - 40-60%
Nutes - Magic Grow (veg) 30 ml on 20 L of water (recommended dosage 17-25 ml per 10 L) /I don't have a ppm meter/.

also for got to mention . the leafs are all curled . fan leafs are like automatic solar panels they move to the best direction to get to the sun. when its to much light or heat. your case light. they close up or fold up. I see the plant forming a huge circle trying to get away from the lamp. what is the distance of the lamp and what kind ??

250W HPS / 32 cm (12") / now 38 (15")
I have also cut 2 of the fan leaves on each of the plants, because they were covering the bottom ones (advice from a grower, but i don't think as useful as I taught at that very moment)

yeah if the fan is not vented a fan running to cool it , im sure it got to hot. get a obsoleting fan and let it run it will also help you out. fights mold as well . I cut my fan leafs off after the buds get 1/2 inch thick or so almost every fan leaf comes off, except for the bottoms. because there is no poing in cutting those off they can catch the remaning light . doing this does increase yield. I get about 30 % more, cutting fan leafs off , its not rem to do so . but after I tried it I will never stop it again. were growing flowers not fan leaves

fk spelling mate! Thanks for the info! Ive moved the light further... we'll see how it goes.I have a fan and I move it around my room (80x80x160) few times a day to keep it ventilated. I am wondering, should I push into flower and deal with them the first week while still using only veg nutes? I would use your advice on cutting while flowering!
