This is my first grow in coco. It was like a sprint race. Every day I'd come in to visible change. Every day I was training, cutting, measuring moisture, adjusting water flow, frequency and volume. Then training into trellis net, and defoliate, defoliate, defoliate. (And I'm one who barely defoliates). At 4 weeks I decided the plants needed another week to veg completely to the sides of the tent - they did not. Once flower stretch started, I was busier than every trying to keep distance to the light. Ended up pulling all the plants during flower and replacing the tent, and trying to re-weave the tops back through the net.^ This is true, the only time I've ever noticed big changes seemingly overnight is the stretch before flower and right towards the end of flower, when the nights are getting colder, they fatten up like crazy and really push those trichomes... I imagine watching them flower indoors is kind of like watching paint dry lol.

And then .... crickets. My plants are growing, but without my help other than filling the reservoir. It went from painting the room for 8 weeks to watching it dry the past 2 or so. Makes me feel like I should be doing something.
I do have a spare 4x4 tent...Plant another crop
Hell I’m envious of people who can grow photos outdoors. I can’t even get autos to finish in our outdoor season. I live in an 18’X20 foot dry cabin. One 5’ tent and one 2’X2.5’ to do starts in.I do have a spare 4x4 tent...
But no place to put it. I'm so envious of people with houses with basements!
I hear you about the dense lower fully edge. I have so much air circulation down there, I doubt anything could stick there for very long. Lol!A lot of talk about dryback, no mention of life. What happens to the life in the soil during this dryback? I water often at a low volume. Keeps the microclimate directly under mulch happy.
I don't use liquid nutes.
I would be concerned with the dense lower foliage. Breeding ground for pathogens.
I don't mean to be contrary, just sharing my thoughts.
Suggest adding ReCharge to your feeding routine. Once a week is plenty. Add to a feed or water in.I hear you about the dense lower fully edge. I have so much air circulation down there, I doubt anything could stick there for very long. Lol!
I think you stressed them out a little too much or DIDNT give enough nutes I notice the main stem is almost half purple
Also, over watering will cause purple stems. Now, there's not much root structure, so they'll falter during flowering because of the admitted over watering.LED lights will turn them purple.
I been using led a couple years now. Never saw them torn the main stem purple. Over watering will damage roots and lock out nutes, which can result in yellow leaves and purple stems.LED lights will turn them purple.
