Ok guys, change of plans. I'm sure the problem is neither heat nor light stress but the plant been root bound, specially since the second plant is just starting to show some of the same symptoms and last time it went away after transplant.

I went ahead and transplanted to their final home of 6 liter pots and as soon as they are out of shock (if there's any) I will change the bulbs to 2700K color ones and start the flowering stage. If I try to keep vegging another 1 or 2 weeks they'll be root bound again.

Here's the root zone of both plants.

How did you attach the fan to the can 705 can filter?

I used a tupperware, it's an idea I found in a thread in the forum here I believe.

You can see it in the picture below

And it’s update day again. Today is day 35 since breaking soil and day 6 of flower.

The plant was so short and bushy that I increased the distance of the canopy to the lights to promote the plant to stretch. Just before switching the height of the plants was 4 inches, after 6 days of 12/12 it’s now 8 inches or was since I did some tying down.

It was pointed out to me that the reason that I had leaves curling was probably not due them been rootbound, but a combination of the soil been too hot and letting it dry a bit too much, so now I’m watering every 3 days.

Nice of you to drop by Blynx.

I forgot to mention in the last update that after watering I measured the run off of both plants, the one that didn't have any problems had a PPM of 1000, but the other one had a PPM of over 4000, I did a little flushing just in case.

Hello again. Today is day 42 since breaking soil and day 13 of flower.

Surprise, surprise, exactly like clockwork I got cupping of the leaves around day 8 or 9 once again since transplanting, so it’s not the soil been too hot. Once more I transplanted, this time to 3 gallon… well the second plant came 2 liters short of 3 gallon, buy anyway… I used all the substrate I had on hand.

Once again I did some research and I believe that it might be a slight to moderate mg deficiency, considering that since my tap water is naturally 7 ph and 20 ppm it’s probably devoid of it. Just yesterday I watered with epsom salts and seaweed extract. In the next days will see how that goes.

I also defoliated a little to expose some of the lower buds that were shadowed.

Welcome back. For my weekly update, it’s day 49 since breaking soil and day 20 of flower.

I finally got around getting a pH meter and some adjusting solution. As I was told the tap water has a range of 6.4 to 7.4, depending on the day but… I was letting the water rest for a couple of days and when I went ahead and measured the pH of that…. man was it high 8 something almost 9. So I’m pretty sure I finally nailed the problem down.

Five days ago I gave it a watering with some seaweed extract 6.8 pH to see how it would respond, so far it’s been slowly uncurling.

But now some of the lower leaves of 1 plant have been turning yellow. What do you think it is? Here you can see it

Anyway, here are this week’s pictures along last week ones.
