Thank you for the feedback .. I appreciate it .. I have watched so many videos on LST.. I was hoping I did it correctly .. I bent them into about 75 degrees then to 90 after a few hours …

I am not sure but i think the DD is an Trifoliate Mutant .. If so, Samara is a good name for her .. LOL
I did some research and I am going to have to really keep an eye on the sex … i checked the sex of her and it looks like she is a female .. I took out my endoscope to get a good look ... from what i am reading if the plant is female she will be okay and could get a lot of branches .. Is this true?
i took 4 pics of her top two nodes ( not the best pic because i couldn't keep the scope still)

Hi Everyone - Its time for the weekly update … first I have to say .. I love the temperature controller … it has been a blessing with the temperatures and humidity .. the temperatures are staying around 77 F -- I have it set for a 2 degree various and humidity stays between 35-54% … I think this week I am going to put the humidifier on a timer so that the it goes off when the lights go off... it might stay around 40% as I believe the DD and LH are at Preflower … I had the nutrients at 650 PPM and 5.8 PH in the res. However I noticed that the Lemon Haze and 2 dark devil received nute burn ( at least that what I think it was) and I dropped the PPM to 550 by add PH 5.8 water. The nute burn has seemed to stop but I notice all three are drooping now so I am thinking its too light of a mix so now I am thinking to up it to 600 PPM's tomorrow .. I diluted the res on Thursday .. Please look at the pictures below and let me know what you think?
Lemon Haze - 23 days old - She has been on the auto pot system for a week today.
She has been growing like a weed (no pun intended) since I have had her on the Auto pot system .. She had a slow start I think she is making up for loss time... she is growing so fast that I opened her up with LST this morning and she was almost all filled in when I came home this evening...
LH - Nute burn .. Sorry for the crappy shot .. tried holding the camera with on hand .. but If you look at the edges you can see where it was going brown.
Tangerine Dream - 20 Days old Today … 450 PPM of nutes and 5.8 PH. but brought it The picture is deceiving because it makes it look like her leaves are touching the sides of the pot but they not all of them are .. 2 sets are but the rest are not... .. I could put her on the Auto pot system but I am thinking of waiting a bit as first I want to bring her up in PPMs by hand feeding her to match the PPM in the res … plus I have read to turn the auto pot system on once all their leaves are touching the sides of the pot and her leaves are not yet. So I am thinking based on these two factors that I am probably going to wait a week then turn on the auto pot system for her too. I have all the lines to the pots with inline shut off valves so I just need to turn on her valve next week. One of her leaves was touching the soil because LST. maybe I should have waited until she was tall enough and her leaves wouldn't touch the soil. I have her name tag in the soil under the leaf so that it holds it up off the soil ..
Dark Devils x 2 - 29 Days old - On Autopot system for 1 week and 1 day.
DD Samara - I think the fluctuation of heat and cold really caused some issues for her. I think it stunted her … she isn't growing as full and rapid as her Sister Lilith … plus I don't think the nute burn helped her either .. I also noticed tonight that both their trunks have purple in them .. I questioning if more cal-mag is needed, I am giving them 3ml per gallon or a deficiency or if its the genetic of the DD?
DD - Samara - Some of her leaves are still growing huge ..She has some LST but I am doing a lot of leaf tucking as her come of her branches aren't long enough yet. Her main cola though is growing well I am LST ing it to keep it low so that the other branches have a chance to grow .. Not sure of what I am doing by LST her main cola is right or wrong.
DD -Lilith - Lilith is doing very well I think . Except for a bit of nute burn .. she is flourishing. I am able to LST all her branches and open her up so that light hits all of her nodes …

thank you....
HI Everyone .. I have a question about the Dark Devil Auto … Do they usually have purple in their main stem? both dark devils are showing lots of purple in their stem.. I know that once they bloom that they are suppose to have lots of purple in their buds and leaves but i don't know about het stem .. the lemon haze is green .. so i am wondering if this is normal for DD. PH 5.8 Nutes ( flora series, floralicious, Rapid Start, Silica and Dripclean) i up them this morning to 600 PPM. I am adding 3ml Cal-mag per gallon. Tempatures are between steady 77-79 degrees ,.., LED Optic 6 Lights .. Humidity 40%

The purple is normal for several strains, probably this one too, but I haven't grown it before.

If your foliage is looking healthy (which from the image it seems fine) then purple in the stems is nothing to worry about.
Thank you for getting back to me @Dudeski and @Autoseeds.com. The girls seem healthy so I wont worry anymore … they are starting to get some real height to them and excited to see the end results in a few more week … Both girls are 33 days old today …
