You're doing a great job. prepare your gnat fungus strategies including but not limited to sticky paper/neem oil tray/. Be proactive with spider management when they start building their nest and flying around your plant it will give you the shivers. Print out the next few months of calendars with exactly what you think is required by what you've read including drying and caring. Coconut water every 3 weeks during flower & Epsom salts. You are on a journey. Peace and leaf.humidifier and dehumidifier.
pots - they have bag ones with Velcro so you can easily up-pot.
i was given the advice to plant the same strain at first. they would be the same height and would have the same needs... mostly. and with one big light you cant raise and lower on each one.
you sound like the type who would enjoy setting things up on a smart system. get smart plugs and smart sensors for temp and humidity and even lux, you can control it all with Alexa, or google - or like me, the cheap way, with ifttt (if this then that). you can spend lots! and start setting it all up now, getting your tent to maintain a temp range when lights off and then on. they even have smart floor vents for the furnace so you can control your room more accurately. so much to spend money on! and you can do it as you wait.
Very nicely doneYesterday was up-potting day, good times!
I'm not the biggest fan of the Vivosun 1gal pots with the velcro straps. I love the idea but I wish the slit down the side was bigger or they put another one on the opposite side. As it was I felt like I still had a hard time getting my plants out and ended up cutting two of the pots anyway. No big deal though all things considered.

These 3 gallon pots seem pretty big once filled and watered, damn.
As you can see little Peggy didn't make the cut just yet. I was planning to transfer her along with the rest but I ran out of RO water. I could have filtered some more water right then but it got me thinking about Peggy and whether or not I want to keep her. She's so small and super dense - I believe she has dreams of becoming a pine cone some day. I'd hate to ditch her in case it turns out there's a male in the bunch or some other disaster befalls one of the other plants, so I think I'll keep her around a little longer.

I followed the up-potting with a new round of LST (minus Peggy).

And here they are this morning all puffed back up after yesterday afternoon's business...

They were all topped about week and a half ago (minus Peggy again), so my current LST plan is to bend the main stem to one side and then direct the two new main stems back around the edges of the pot. Here's the best pic I have to demonstrate what I'm thinking:

could be light stress or it’s time to start adding some organic nutrients.I have noticed this coloration on some of the fan leaves since up-potting, or at least I didn't notice it starting prior to the last few days. Any tips on what this might be? I'll post a list of grow details so anyone who might be trying to diagnose this pic doesn't have to search through my entire thread (because they won't, and I don't blame them.
Day 33
Grown from Seed: 3x GDP and 3x BBK (both Indica dom hybrids)
Soil: 3gal pots w/ CoM Stoneington Plat Blend unamended (One is still in a 1 Gal pot)
Lights: ROI-680 18/6 @18-20”, @680W, 380 to 420 PPFD across the canopy
Temps: 77F Lights-on-Day, 75F Lights-on Night. 69F Lights-off.
Humidity: Between 55% and 65% depending on the day, usually closer to 65%.
Watering: Homemade RO water only. Been waiting for soil to seemingly dry fully and for some drooping leaves before watering.

I noticed you are using RO water. Are you adding cal/mag?Yellow between veins... mag deficiency?
Since I adjusted my lights I have been at 36 inches above canopy at 40% power. I know you have the master controller so you have more control over intensity, what percentage do you have them at?
I noticed you are using RO water. Are you adding cal/mag?
I had the exact same problem on one of my plants and it turned out to be cal/mag deficiency. I used distilled water because our well water is sky high ppm and had to start adding cal/mag every watering, which solved that problem.
FWIW, I also recently started using the water from my dehumidifier. Did a bunch of research beforehand and everything is fine since, still adding cal/mag every watering. I had been making my own distilled water, which is somewhat a PITA, but better than buying it at the store. The distiller heats up the room it's in and works well, but if I could save electricity by using the dehuey water, all the better.
If user error is a possibility, then I have probably already done it. I thought I had changed that setting but didn't even notice when I took the pics. Let me go press some buttons real quick :)I would trust your par meter over the one I currently test with. I am confused by the master controller though. Could it possibly be configured incorrectly? It shows you at 68% on a 1000W fixture. I ask more out of curiosity than anything for my own upgrade path.
I am also using the CoM Stonington blend and it definitely was not enough when you remove all those minerals from your water.I've heard anecdotal reports that using RO water and Stoneingtons Plat would would be enough, but perhaps not in my case.

ok i don’t think your light is the problem, looks to me like it may need magnesium?Same plant, leaves under lights.

And here's the whole crew as of a few minutes ago. They pretty much all have this going on to some degree or another.
