Just wanted to drop a post as a new member here!

I've been growing for a long time, but recently switched to DWC from soil. It's been a blast! Currently trying Nebula's manifold out on some Pine Tar Kush I'm growing. It's actually been wonderfully receptive, and the results have been far better than what I was getting without the manifold and LST.

Super hype to be part of a community that has helped me so much!
 
Here's a couple pics from tonight's check. I think it's coming along alright for my first manifold. Had to switch her to flowering a bit earlier than I wanted due to some time crunches, but she seems healthy overall and continues to grow well for me. This is just after the first defoliation two days ago and the switch to flowering. Top and side view, figured having both would help. Cheers on any comments or advice!

EDIT - Yes, that's one of my boys, Gnomesford in there, keeping an eye on things for me. He has a red-cap brother named Gnomeseley.

What's your average temp? I see some leaf edge curling and irregular leaf twisting. That usually means the temp is a little too high for them. Could also be lights a little too close or environment off a bit.

Yeah, it's the house temp, it's been keeping my tent a little too warm so I've had to fight that leaf curl. I should have a new fan coming in soon though to help deal with that. I actually keep my light hanging around 1.5-2ft above my plant, and they haven't burned from the light yet.
 
A little update, just over a week into flowering. I'm getting excited.

I see bleaching. Check your light intensity. Very yellow tops and yellowing throught the plant. Its stressed. .And like Rootsruler said, leaf curling. That's light related. Better fix that before she flowers or you'll be foxtailing.
 
Download the Photone app and check your PPFD and DLI with it. Super simple to use and it's pretty accurate. You should be around 35-40 DLI between 700 to 900 PPFD would be ideal. Though I would go on the lower side until she recovers a bit.

I agree with Rootsruler and Radeon the lights might be too intense. It's probably also causing your water to become warm. Stress from above and stress from below. She's a sizable plant and will give you plenty flowers but you have to resolve the issues now, or you'll be disappointed come harvest.
 
I'm going to attribute the leaf color to the type of light he has. I have a VS1500Pro and it does the same to my plants.
 
Bummer..Glad I don't have that problem. Cause if it was my grow, my time and money, if it caused my tops to look like that, RETURN!
 
Thank you both for the sound advice!
This is my first grow doing a manifold, so I've had a few unfamiliar but seemingly minor problems.
I am in the process of ordering a new fan to help control the tent heat, but if adjusting the lights down alone can help, well, she's dimmable, so that's thankfully an easy fix!
 
It's a VS XS2000 full spectrum, dimmable LED. It's worked well enough for previous grows, though now I know that the bleaching is from the lights. More knowledge for the next grow! And hopefully knowledge in time to still get a decent harvest from this one, since she's barely into flower.
 
It's not that the leaves are actually that color. It's just that the light gives it that shade of green. When you turn them off the leaves are nice rich green.
 
As was mentioned, look into Daily Light Integral to adjust your light to the proper amount of ppfd your plants want.
