i propose adding "buff" to the growing communities' vernacular as a technical term....

I am humbled bob,i am merely a reading pothead surfing the online library 
About the explaining part i will agree,i did a terrible mistake i believe many will benefit from if they read my posts and are on the first grow doing defoliation and method we really shouldn't whilst knowing f all about the plant in it's being!
I was wondering,ok buds...What the feck does a bud consist of..You know i was expecting something to point my lil lanky finger towards a part of the plants and say "There,that will be the root of your bud on this stem/branch and if u touch it you are FKD" but good ol mother Life provided a lesson instead of a guidance,lesson accepted and deeply carved into my...plants ofc!!!
I removed the new growthtips along with fan leaves in a previous defol i did,what a ...mistake! I have lost a good deal of bud now my plants don't seem to be stretching 10 days into flower i lost the initial part of it and i will have to care extra and treat them as queens from now on!!
Never,ever ever,snip off more than you know is ok!Better loose a couple hours of light on a top/main rather than an inch of smokable bud from every stem on your very first crop!

Some thing going very wrong here! I'm at day 22 and my plants are short and sick. I had been giving them half doses of nutrients as per Nebulas chart and the last week I have been using Ph'd water to flush them out. I have seen weeds grow but my tallest (AK48 #1) is only about 3 inches tall. Is this nutrient burn or magnesium deficiency? Any Help is appreciated. Thanks

is your light still the same distance as the last time you reported it, 16 inches?

ok, just wanted to check for rule-out purposes.... hopefully someone who knows a lot about nute usage at this stage will see this and help...

I agree with the others. My first thought is that possibly the LED light needs to be further away. PH is the most common reason to see deficiencies, so if you haven't been checking pH perhaps that's your first step. I also noticed your seedlings look a bit droopy. Can you walk us through your watering practices? What's the temperature/humidity?
I agree they need to be transferred to a bigger pot soon, and if they're root bound that might be contributing to the problem, too.
Overall they just need some TLC and I think they'll bounce right back!

Thank you.. I am running a 600W MH set up with a Sodium bulb at the ready. I was comparing my plants to the one on the website and they looked a lot fuller with their leaves as wide as the cup, however I have 2 X 7gallon and 2X 5 Gallon smart pots ready to go. We have been giving only water balanced around 6 on the Ph scale (coco coir medium) and have been giving them a drink only when the top part of the "soil" was dry. I had given them some nutrients but I followed the feeding chart and only gave 2/3's on the ingredients. I mixed 2 gallons at a time. If there is something I forgot to add please let me know...Thank you again

That sounds like a good start! It should be a few degrees cooler at night for your seedlings, not warmer. Cannabis doesn't like that for some reason

Day 23
Ok, now I know about how fast roots grow! I transplanted all 4 plants and yes the roots were all the way to the bottom and around everywhere! I made a cup depression in the center of the smart pot and then watered all around it, before cutting the solo cup, I watered the plant to keep it together and then cut and inserted the the whole living mass into the pot and the watered again. The run off Ph was at 6.7 so I treated 4 gallons with some Ph down to bring it to 5.9. The light is still set at 16" from the top of the tallest plants.
On another note, my Volcano digital vaporiser should be in on Wednesday so I will then suck back a 3' bag of Good Stuff!

Good thing u lowered that ph,again without knocking anyone,people say stay at 6 and i have found 6 wrecks my leaves!5.9 tints them and 5.8 is great! That again is my personal experience with my water/chlorine and nutes so can't rely on that!
Can i suggest you don't repot plants again ? I see no reason why you can't get a humidity dome with rooting material(cubes,rockwool,anyhting...) and a week after cotyledons pop tuck in the final pot right away! You have 600w there and loads of space,let them take up as much of that they need
Other than that ak's are overall easy strains(learned so from reviews and site references) and the BJ shouldn't be a tough one either!
P.S did your girl name her seeds/plants? Mine called her bagseed Daisy (and the bloody thing liked it and came to fit the female tone of it )

No names and I'm very happy to see them in the big pots. I was considering going from Rapid Rooter straight to the big pots but was dissuaded by my GF. Next time I will do that because while there was no "root ball" there were a lot of roots! Just gave them 1/2 gallon of Ph'd water and will give them some more love after supper.
