Yeah same with me. I use a bricked coco that is supposed to be rinsed and soaked, but that always happened until I actually soaked the coco in 300ppm CalMag for 24 hours. I'm not saying that's the issue, but doing that helped me with something that looked similar
Hmmmm not sure of your protocol but that's kind of how my plants looked during the first stage when I didn't soak my coco in CalMag prior to planting. They always eventually grew out of it once the coco ions were replaced with cal and mag, it just took a bit before it took off.
It definitely feels better to make that flip. Time to start the next stage. I think I should be good on height. I'm having a hard time tucking the bigger tops under the first net due to the thickness of the stems and don't want to do any heavy training on them.
It seems to me when we (in general) think about watering and the issues it causes, we blame the water. It really has nothing to do with the water, but the fact that the water has no more oxygen in it. So the roots sit in it and die (why standing water in soil is bad). But in hydro, the roots are...

Plants are looking great this morning! Changed the lights to 11/13 last night. Did a lot of flushing the past few days. I was testing the runoff and it kept coming up about 200 ppm lower than the feed and a pH of...
Ok good so the chlorine will evaporate after time, just make sure you're letting it sit with movement (air stone) for 24 hours (couldn't find if you mentioned you were doing that). When did you put that windowsill plant in the tent? From what I understand you can't see most thrips without a 100x...
Yeah it is entirely setup/protocol/time dependent. With a little LST and extra time you could double the yield on the left plant in the same physical space.
