Day 50
Some thoughts, I'm now at 6.7g/gallon of MC with just the hint of yellow tips here and there. PPM is 1200.
But, the last week or so the plants are drooping three or four hours before lights out. Drooping to the point of worry.
And the top new growth of leaves are twisted/corkscrewed.
Temps are ~ 25.5c daytime, down to ~18c at night, rh is ~40%.
On my second last watering I gave straight well water and the girls did seem to perk up but still drooped close to nights out.
My plan is to lower the feed and move to a feed/water/feed schedule. I've raised the lights and turned them down to 75%.
For perspective, the back two Gelato's are 36" high. One natural, one topped.
The Purple Silverback in the middle is 30", she is 20" from the light.
The King Gelato on the front left has been topped and LST'ed, she's 24" high.
And the Gorilla Glue #4 front right has been left alone and is 36" high.
I have removed anything on the bottoms that won't amount to anything, other wise I've left the fan leaves alone.
On close inspection, I see two leaves on the PS with a few yellow/brown spots. Everything else looks good aside from the odd canoeing and the top twisted leaves that have mostly straightened out.
Cheers.

BTW > I was 6.3g/gallon of MC.
I decided to quit feeding the Gelato's and Purple Silverback four days ago and my fan leaves started yellowing almost right away....
But, the King Gelato and GG#4 also started yellowing to a lesser extent.
Perhaps just an old age thingee

Day 101 for the King Gelato (left) and the GG#4 (right), hidden in the back is the topped Gelato
At this point (14 1/2 weeks) I'm not sure if growing auto's is worth it. At least another week for the topped Gelato and the KG/GG#4 another two weeks, sigh...
BTW > Autoflower dot ca just released over a dozen new varieties and they are suggesting grow times of 85 days...
Not sure what I was thinking but a week and a half ago I feed just water. Almost immediately the fan leaves started to yellow. Perhaps I was on the borderline of "just enough" feed ?
Anywho, two days later on their regular watering I fed 6g/gallon of MC and the yellowing almost stopped !
Topped Gelato, yesterday day 100
King Gelato (left) and GG#4 (right) today, day 101
BTW > the KG needed a string around her waist, she was flopped all over
The GG#4 is standing all on her own, he, he..
Cheers, eh ?

Really should have spent more time training/supporting the King Gelato.
She's a leaning tower mess !
Pushing the light to plant distance with 600 HPS, it's 20".
Day 102.
The bud bottom slightly off center right is the second Gelato.
Cheers

Well, the experiment is over. The second Gelato is not liking a 20" light distance and keeps foxtailing.
She comes down tomorrow ! Day 105 !

Day 114 and pistils are just starting to turn. My last photo grow I vegged for 50 days and harvested at day 111
And my little slice of heaven ! The enclosure is roughly 54" x 54" x 4' high in a 10' x 10' x 8' room.
Eight light weight easy to move panels lined with tin foil. Started with four panels to make a 3' circle and then added four more 14" wide panels. They sit 3/4" off the floor, the idea is the fans pull in air from the bottom and blow it up towards the light. Then there is another fan changing the air in the room.
Cheers.
