So I have a top feed with four drip lines being pumped from a 35 gallon res. They drain into the pans below them. The leaf twisting was LST cause I was pruning and opening the canopy then I held that part down.

OK, saw the LST in scanning your thread here, and you're running a Lucas formulation, which might explain why they haven't burned up. I agree with Mike, they look good, but still, 1300ppm even with 200ppm water, is way too high. Lucas normally runs lower ppm's than a full GH Flora regimen. Here's their Flora series drain-to-waste regimen:

I've never played with coir, especially brick, but I'm suspicious the brick coir may be soaking up the excess & slowly building up to a disaster waiting to happen?
If I'm in your shoes I'd be draining half the reservoir into storage, filling it back up with water then checking / balancing pH.

If a 50% dilution doesn't get you to around 650-700ppm, dilute more. ​

Use up the new 50% solution then re-mix your saved nutes same way. Watch what she does & keep regular pic's coming.
I'll be out of pocket for about a week but @Mike20132 was on the live stoner thread, he can help. Or @fettled6 is another bright guy you can trust. I'll check in as I can but Big Sur Highway is calling my name!

MaxiBloom KISS at the moment or for the past two weeks actually. My runoff has been 1300 ppm with a 6.0 ph. Something going on there? Here's how they look today.

Day 23
74-79f
70-75% RH
1300ppm x 8
6.1 ph

@Damien50 I usually hang around the live forum most of the day. By all means reach out if I can help. If I don't respond right away, I am probably tied up with work.

Will do. Thanks!

Opened the canopy up and pruned a bit.

Day 24
70-75% RH
80-86f
1500 ppm x 8 x 2 minutes
6.1 ph

They didn't look happy this morning so I changed some things. I don't think they enjoyed above room temperature feedings nor did I enjoy the weird Ph and PPM readings. I took the res out the tent, moved fans around(I got another 18" box fan), cleaned the floor, raised the temperature back to mid 80's, and did some lst.

Main stem is being trained around the pot while branches are being trained around the pot in the opposite direction. It's causing a lot of light to get in and I've been pruning large fan leaves from the branches with 2-4 nodes and leaving only the top most fan leaves on the main stem.

Looking at both plants there's differences in the fan leaves and the way the branches are growing. NL1 has long thin side branching from the side branches with longer narrow leaf sets but its main branches and stems are thick. NL2 has short wide leaves that crowd pretty fast with less side branching but it's stems get thick woody fast.

I increased the feed times because runoff had gotten to be a very small amount, less than 10% after 8 waterings.


6 Hours Later with higher temps, cold res water, and 75% humidity

Day 25
70-75% RH
84-88f
1300 ppm x 8 x 2 minutes
6.1 ph

I let the temps purposely rise higher, brought the light down to 12", and chilled the reservoir. Their color and growth looks better than it did at the lower temperatures with NL1 over taking the pot finally. NL2 is now smaller than NL1 with less branching and less foliage. All the leaves are a nice deep dark green with slight folding on the leaves and a green mass going to pray to the 600 watts. Once the res was chilled my ppm dropped to 1300 from 1500 and the ph is stable now.

Day 25 - 12 hours later

I pruned and super cropped. I pruned all the fan leaves from the first node of all the large branches and the rest from the main stem except for the very top two nodes. I super cropped because I snapped my main stem on NL2 two weeks ago and the stem is significantly thicker than NL1.

NL1 is showing pistils at 25 days so excited.

Day 26
70-75% RH
84-86f
1300 ppm x 8 x 2 minutes
6.1 ph

No pistils on NL2 but NL1 is steady developing more. The super cropping didn't slow them down either and now I have my flat canopy on both plants.
