Hi Everyone. I'm new here to this community but definitely not new to the cannabis community :) I'm a lil over a month into my grow and she's doing pretty good. Here are the details below for those interested,

Strain: Barney Farm's Acapulco Gold (Feminized)
Grow Area: Custom 2x2x4.5
Water: RO
Light: Roledro 600w Full Spectrum LED
Pot: 3 gallon Air Pot
Soil: FFOF amended with Perlite, Dolomite lime and worm castings
Nutrients/Supplements: FoxFarm Trio, Botanicare Cal-Mag
Intake: 2 x 4" Passive
Exhaust: 6" inline fan to PHAT Filter w/ Speed Controller
Germination: Planted directly into soil on Mar 31, 2017
Pest Control: Top Dressing of Diatomaceous Earth
12/12: Switched on 05-08-2017

This particular seed has been growing fairly well. She started off slow but definitely has taken off. She had a bit of a deficiency problem in the beginning due to using strictly RO but some Cal-Mag and a small PH adjustment resolved that within a couple of days. She has been under 12/12 for 4 days as of today. The large single pics are of her today.

Let me know what you all think! Ever Grown this particular strain?

Ok so i have a little issue with my plant. It concerns me but im assuming it was just PH fluctuations.. let me know what you all think

Only a few leaves are affected and only a couple fingers from each leaf.. i did my own research and came upon Tobacco mosaic virus which initally is what I thought it was....

Lookin good! From what I'm reading in here its possible you are over feeding a little. Burnt leaf tips and leaf curl are signs. Leaf curl might mean ph issues but that could be ph problems in the soil because of overfeeding. I'm not an expert but I have spent a lot of my growing time overfeeding. So I'm still learning.

Yes, I agree.. i already have a flush planned to try and remedy the issue.. i noticed the leaf tips curling and had read something about over feeding being the cause .. too much nitrogen i believe.. i have my PH Pen calibrated and start with RO water and measure PPMs.. last feeding was 1500PPM... ph'd to 6.5..

I've never used your nutes but 1500 seems kinda high. Maybe try 1000ppm

Does that LED have a veg/bloom mode, or is it just one color always?
