Week 4.5

I noticed slight bleaching of the leaves, continual slight droop despite being fed. Growth slowed in the last 2 days.

Reduced light from 80% to 75%. 44DLI from 47. Reduced canopy temps from 80-81 to 78-79. Ambient temps remain 73-75/leaf temps always match my ambient temps (probe located hanging off the center cloth pot). I did notice leaf temps went from 75 ambient, to 78 days before bleaching appeared but came back down to ambient once bleaching was noticed. Leaf temps deviated from ambient.

Day 1 of changing to 12/12. Off to a nice start, veg went perfect for these 5 ladies. Using my last grows notes helped tremendously. Never really had a bump in the road. 4 completely different strains, looking forward to these next 63-70 days.
how long did you veg it?

end of 4th week, i might have over defoliated a bit? what do you think?

Legit. Just give more micronutrients, bumped calmag. She is going to need it to recover those leaves and replenish or store the required amount in the remaining leaves and new growth to perform the same photo as it was before. So bump those up after doing that heavy hitting, let them chill no stress for a while after. Resume regular feed after feeding one time with that extra bump. (Assuming you are liquid nutrients).

And bruh, no offense, water that entire bag of soil. Soak the entire thing down. (If you are not already, I just see wet only in the middle 70%)

The lights are tooo bright for the amount of nitrogen you are giving. Reduce intensity or increase nitrogen (but giving nitrogen is detrimental at this point in flower so i suggest not to increase it), best to reduce intensity to match your nutrients if in flower like you are. You will thank me. Your fading will slow and you need that because you need green leafs for another 2-3 weeks. Or yields suffer. Reduce intensity and give them a bump on those things and they will reward you, I promise.

Aight I get it humidity is a problem in flower, it is hard to handle and so watering less more often helps. But if you do have the capability, full bag soaks, great air circulation and continual feeding with proper full thorough waterings keeps them eating and drinking. Making them continually grow. Plus, keeping all the soil moist at the least, continues microbial activity and population for consistent breaking down of nutrients in the soil for absorption by the plant.

But you are in week 4 so no new leaf growth is going to happen. If any, minimal. So you have to work with what you have and that is why I said to reduce intensity because you cannot recover from burnt leaves. You need to act quickly on the next feed to give them what they need to take the light, even if you reduce light intensity they need that bump of micro and calmag.
