give em 50-100 PPM of cal-mag and see what it does

I think this is not a heat stress, man. Dunno why, but my plant's first fan leaves looked that too, i thought about heat stress too, later when new leaves appeared, this ended and never have appeared again, despite that wattage of the lights have been risen 3 fold since then. IMHO do not think about it, just let it grow

give em 50-100 PPM of cal-mag and see what it does

I have no PPM meter man... And i dont have a Cal-mag solution, but as far as i understood Epsom salt works right? I could give her a shot with that to see what it does on the next watering...It's pretty much the only thing i havent tried now..
It's not the ventilation.. It's not the light cause she does it under CFL as well.. and its not because of heat,i know that for sure cause it's been freaking cold here the last 3-4 days... So maybe she's lacking some cal-mag i dont know, but i guess its worth a shot.

I would use no more than a tsp or 5ml of Epsom to a gallon of RO.

alright thanks, i will give it a shot when she's dried out in 2 or 3 days

Your upward leaf curl is either a evaporation problem, heat stress or a magnesium deficiency. What are your grow area temperature and humidity levels? Cannabis plants grown under LED lights have a higher demand for calcium and magnesium, I would use a calcium and magnesium supplement if you are not already using one.

I use Botanicare's Cal-Mag Plus as a calcium and magnesium supplement.

FINNALY!
awesome man, i have been waiting for that!
Post me a link in here when you're up and running again my friend

KingJohn, thanks for the input, i believe i have outruled everything above besides Cal-Mag so i am about to give her a shot of Epsom salts within the next few days to try and make up for it.. we'll see how she reacts and if that doesnt help then SCREW it. I will let her grow anyway, because she is nowhere near stunted from it, she's just going on and on growing bigger everyday still

She's got 2 heads now by the way ^^ Soon she will have 4 heheh..

Epsom Salts can be used at 1 teaspoon per gallon as a magnesium and sulfate supplement.

Hey everyone

Tonight i fed the K-train with 0.75mL / L Grow (like last feed) and half of a teaspoon epsom salt to 2 liters of water. After giving her those 2 liters i gave her another liter pure water just to get some runoff.
Really hoping the epsom salt will help at this point..

I also gave her a defoliation, removed 6 big fan leaves, but there are some more i could've taken, but i figured i'd just leave them there cause they dont shade anything.

Pictuuuuuresssszzzz

Before defoliation..

Them leaves..

And after..

Hope you all are doin good

Gonna get nice and shrubby

You should also add another wire to the stem at the bottom of your plant near the soil level to act as a cross brace and prevent the stem from pulling too far from the soil.

KJC beat me to it Always counter tie Your lady will thank you for it when her stem gets thicker!!

Looking great! Very developed side-branching, I love it

 

[Away]

Yeah you guys are right!
must of sweat that out, it was supposed to have a pipe-cleaner to support there as well, but i never really got to attach it i guess
Anyway i just fixed it
Next time im adding pipe-cleaners, i will be pulling her two new heads in each their direction

 

[Away]

It just hit me, that tying her down like this is probably going to cause me some problems when stretch comes.. Cause this girl is supposed to more than double in size when you flip the switch..
So right now i'm still open to suggestions!

What i'm thinking right now is:
Untie her completely. Then i will pull down the two new tops in each their direction and try to hold all canopy at that height for a week or two, to try and get as much of the width i can. then flip the switch. Then starts the chaos.
As she is stretching i will have to look in every day and bend n twist to keep as much of her in the light as possible, without a net..

I think the net on this girl will be a massive failure because of the speed she's growing at.. other people without my space limitations should DEFFINATELY scrog her, but i think i've got too little depth and width in my space to do it.
She will simply outgrow my space, because she is so damn vigorious xD So instead i will try to draw advantage of the height i got.

I will do the width i can as i described and then just try to supercrop if nescesary or tie her down.. Depending on how she's looking obviously.. It will be a strange situation where everything can happen, unlike the plan i had for her to start with. This is exciting. Also scary, cause now i have no clue how she's going to look = how i'm going to handle her.
