I think you could raise the light a little to encourage strectching a little to make them taller. They look like they are doing fine. I wouldnt worry about the temps. I run mine quite a bit warmer when running CO2 in my system. Keep an eye out for more bugs. You may want to get a spray or treatment on hand just in case. I use Azmax myself for treatment and another organic spray for direct contact when I see them. Keep it up and you will be fine.
 
Heres the little big update from today:

I am germinating the Short Stuff Onyx auto as of 8pm today. Checked to see how space would be and it seems alright besides not finding household items to use as trays. Will have to take them out 1 at a time for watering which is fine with me. The Onyx is supposed to get up to 36" so I'm nervous and excited to finally hopefully try LST-ing.

I took the sticky insect strips out for now and put both fans on the wall. One is pointing upwards towards the light. The other aimed at the plants. I also finished a little shoe box "muffler" that works BARELY. I though it would help a lot. Made little chambers in there like a car muffler kind of, sucks it hardly helps with killing the noise but it is what it is.

Oh, and some bud pics from the past week or so. The last couple pictures is the best smoke I've gotten in a while. I really like it. Sucks not knowing what the strains are, because some are great and I would love to grow them.

Scott, hows the 16oz party cup grow coming along? I wanted to try the Onxy in that competition in a party cup! But the Onyx is the last true auto I have. I think the other 2 "automaticas" from Kannabia Seeds are 100% photo strains. So intresting though, how do they not get root bound and stunted in the cups? or is that the point so they stay short with minimal branching and look kind of cool? Let me know! I want to try in the future competitions!

Well everything is looking pretty good. They seem a little stunted but thats normal especially for a first grow and dial in.

The party cup grow is coming along excellent. I worked up a little secret project tonight for that to be revealed later hehehe For root wrapping I drilled the can I am using with the same basic hole pattern as the air pots I use. This should help with that issue. I went taller than fatter on container size to hopefully give me a little more verticle. Its been my experience that a taller pot yields taller plants than a shorter wider pot of the same size.

My Onyx is currently 16 inches and I dont think it will get taller. I used a shorter 1 gallon air pot to keep it shorter for my Phototron. It seems like when the tap root hits the bottom it stops getting taller so I was able to control height that way, :)

You know growing autos with my 2 x 2 x box I havent had to buy smoke since my first harvest hehehehe Nice buds though :) My Flash Santa kinda looked like your picture 8.

I definitely had first grow mistakes, but recently they should be loving the dresser and the 250 watter. Been treating them like kings. The new top growth and small skinny leaves on the HBD are usually twisted/backwards and some yellowing tips. Looks weird and feels dry like paper. What do you think that is?

The tap roots hit the bottom and came out the grow bags about a week or so ago, i posted pictures. Should I try to put them back in/ cut them/ or leave them alone?

And Scott, that phototron looks awesome!! I never heard of those things, they're old school huh? When did they come out?

You're lucky not having to buy bud!!! I'm basically broke always, but get depressed and angry without my smoke every day or 2!!! Cant wait to hopefully have continuous bud and plants growing.

Thanks Scott!!! You're the man!!!
 
AKR- 2 bottom yellowed leaves laying on the dirt, keep em or cut em?

The leaves are taco-ing downwards and look darker than usual on the ends. The top new growth is yellowing along with other leaves.

I'm looking for others over-watering pictures and they all are just hanging down low, kind of look like mine, but I haven't seen this downward tacoing on others pictures. And some of the other leaves/branches are fine and are pointing up. Some branches are growing kind of crook-ed.

Didn't read through all your grow but the yellowing. Is nitrogen deficiency. Don't sweat the bottom leaves. I only left 2 on mine for maturing indicators. I didn't see any of the downwards tacoing in the top. If anything I'd say they were just a bit warm. The bottom leaves may just be in the process of dying. If it were overwatering it should also show towards the top. I'm not sure how far in to flower you are but overfeeding them nitro now isn't gonna help your cause. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Thanks dude, I've been told its a Mg lockout and the low humidity/heat thats causing the crooked growth and tacoing. Sound familiar? They are 18 days since they threw out pistils.
 
You have me stumped honestly. That's the first time I've seen leaves cupped like they have. Are the ends of your leaves burnt looking and possibly curled? Is there any signs of burn on the serrated edges? Magnesium problems and Nitrogen problems are easy to confuse and unless its a serious problem some might get a Calcium and Magnesium problem twisted. I tried doing some reading for you and the best they had was saying that is was nutrient burn that causes the cupping.
