@EvilScotsman kitty getting too high temps with leds that is pretty weird IMO. I was thinking maybe you have some advices to give!

hey kitty, just had a wee catch up there.
that light is about 150w . the space is roughly 3 square feet so thats right on the max power point for blurples of 50w/per sq ft. thats a lot of light for such a small space so temps will be a bit of a pain. you dont have to keep temps and humidity perfect, just relative to eachother. its called vapor pressure deficit 'vpd'. a quick google of
'vpd scale' will sort you out. if you find your struggling with heat then you can take steps to make your humidity level more suited to cope with the heat. wich in turn will help with growth. i seen you doing some defol aswell. i chop bag fulls off mine every week and its never done any harm. i grow xxl plants though so theyre a bit tougher than most. personally id be chopping a few big ones off her every other day about now to open her up. get as much light in as you can while shes stretching.
regarding your ppm, 750 is about right to be putting in at this point. id leave it there unless you start getting deficiencies then up it about 20%.
can switch to bloom nutes whenever you want really but she's gonna go mental on you shortly so i wouldnt wait too long if your struggling for space : )

The lower temps may not be seen on your meter but if you think wisely, for exmple when you go outside and there is a big wind, it might not affect the temp that much but you can clearly feel its so much cooler in the wind.

this is true but what also happens to you when its really hot and sunny but you feel cool because its windy??
gotta be careful pointing fans directly at them. can burn the shit out of em if your not paying attention. best practice ive found is to be pointing up and over the plants. as with most things though each strain will react differently so just gotta trial and error it untill you figure out your sureoundings : )

Thanks for sharing some knowledge ! I really appreciate it.
To be honest those fans are pretty fixed so can really move them :/

I'm getting another bigger fan to put in my closet to circulate the air inside the closet ... maybe that will work

Day 33

I think I can't be doing more LST because my box is getting to full width wise.

My next step might be scrog ...

My plan is feed it one more grow A+b + cal Mag
Then flush
Then start bloom nutrients
