It's a 30 gallon, or 100 litres...
It's about 25% worm castings mixed with living organic soil.

I've been busy lately so I haven't had time to get in the tent properly, as a consequence our girl grew into the light and got a bit of light burn and a few twisted leaves. It's not serious... luckily. I gave her a feed of guano so it's no wonder she's growing like a weed 
I trimmed a few leaves and tied some of the taller branches down, did a little HST, and tried some of the branch bending things again. I'll give her a few days before we have another hack and slash

I think this demonstrates the work involved to create those X Factor plants. Turn your back and they can go tits up in days. Not suggesting yours is, coz she’ll make a come back I know. But to keep them tip top they are daily work, well I think they are.
I didn’t check a plant closely for four days, by the time I really looked at her she was overrun with mites.

Yeah it's definitely a lot of work, I'm training every few days now. This plant is just a machine, every time I attack her she's right back on the horse the next day.
As Kris Jenna said “you’re doing great sweetie”.

I must admit I had to look her up. Another one of those tick-tock people...
She's actually one of the most successful business people on the planet. It(some of it) happened with a tv show that had cameras in her family's home. I was not impressed. Good luck to her.I must admit I had to look her up. Another one of those tick-tock people...

I'm happy with the progress at the moment. Gave her a top dressing of this dry amendments stuff, and watered it in with a guano mix.

Something is wrong.
Not sure what I've done, I've tried moving the light up and fed her some guano (nitrogen) and top dressed last week. You know, when I wrote the last bit it makes me wonder if it's the top dressing...
Anyway I've asked for the 420 doctors to give her a check over, hopefully we don't need the surgeon, or worse, the coroner...
Fingers crossed

Those canoed upper leaves say too hot and/or too close to the light JJ. You got it! They just don't go back to flat. My guess. What was your temp at the canopy? How far away from the light? How many watts?

G'day StoneOtter, I'm pretty sure you're right.
The temperature in the tent is usually around 20-25c, not sure of canopy temp, probably too hot being so close to the light.
The light was 20cm away at 75% (too close, damn thing just keeps growing into the light
)The main light being used is a Viparspectra XS 1500 Pro (150w)
I also have another light in the tent and it's currently over an auto in the corner, that one is 140w.
I have two of the 140w lights, as well as the XS1500 Pro that will be used for flowering. Should be plenty for a 3x3 tent.
The new Bar led lights I purchased recently have a lot of red, so I think I underestimated the amount of light they put out.

So I moved the light up a bit and here we go with the stretch again 
... dammit. I'll be switching to flower in the next few days anyway, as soon as she looks better.
I've got some different options for feeding as well. I got some new stuff to try.
I probably shouldn't have taken a whole lot of leaves when she's not well, but I did it anyway.
I top dressed with the new stuff and watered it in with the new liquid.
