Looking great, I’m toward the end of flower with the same genetics. Really hardy plant, great first grow, you’re going to enjoy it. You’ll want to top by cutting your main stem between the 4th and 5th node, wait until you have enough space under the 5th node in order to leave about a 1/4 inch “nub” above the 4th node after you’ve cut. See topping tutorial below, this will tell you everything you need to know and more:

Thank you! Think I will need to wait another week and a half or so. Appreciate the guidance. I’ll post a pic prior to topping to make sure we are looking good.

Toping was successful at getting additional growth. Question… some of my leaves have brown spots on them any idea if this is bad?

I would remove those larger leaves that are browning. They are certainly not doing any good for your plant. Are you seeing any similar markings on new growth? I can’t quite tell from the pic. Also, can you post a pic of your nutrient bottles showing what has been used from each?

Here’s a close up and the bottles. Looks like the red one Is lower than the rest.

Appears to be a Calcium deficiency which I’m willing to bet is due to a pH issue, do you happen to have a handheld pH probe to test your water? Did you calibrate your grobo pH probe prior to starting your grow?

I do not but I just ordered one. I believe I did as that was in the instructions I followed them.

Did they add calibration to the instructions? Someone was just complaining that it wasn’t haha.

I’m trying to find them… maybe they didn’t. Should I do it a precautious anyways? Ph meter doesn’t show up until Saturday.

Well that be what the problem is haha. I’m trying to find where I put them. Is it possible to calibrate it during the grow?

Yes however you’ll need calibration solution to do so, do you have any on hand?

My apologies I posted back but apparently it didn’t go through. I got a ph tester and showed 6.09. The browning has stopped and I think it might have been because I didn’t swap water until 2-3 days after it asked me to. Here’s the latest pics after I pruned her. Thoughts?
