Not sure if that will work. I am also going to try cutting it in half to let the bottom buds grow a bit longer. Sounds like a great idea.
But I really think you DO NOT want to trim your fan leaves. I just did that about a week ago (I am about 2.5 weeks into flowering) and I saw my bud growth...
I was thinking that was part of the problem, but I also just noticed that the new growth (leaves, at least) look small and are lightly colored yellow, especially on the veins. I am starting to think they are actually UNDER fertilized? Here is a new picture, the color is off (darn light!), but...

I did bring some other household plants in from another room. Thought my cats were eating it, but it turned out that the bugs spread. I treated them all and completely cleaned the grow room out. I think the bugs are gone. I fogged and used Azra Maz in the resevoir. Also hung a fly sticky trap.
No answer, but I actually figured out what it was. BUGS! There were bugs in my reservoir water today. Really gross.
I am not sure what kind of bugs these are. They are white/yellow with little legs and round, tick shaped bodies.
I am going to get a Mosquito Dunk, and I should probably try...
The temperature is mostly between 75 and 85 and I have been using an AC unit to keep the temperature down. There is also an exhaust fan attached to an enclosed hood to help keep the light cool. Now that you mention it though, the problem did seem to start when I switched from T12 lights to a...

Thank you for letting me know it IS a nute burn. So many deficiencies sound like they look the same to me since I am still learning!
Yes, it is only on about 1-3 leafs per plant, but it happens every time I change the nutrients out. It has always helped to flush and to dilute the nutes (which...
I currently have developed some dead leafs on the bottom of my plants and brown spots and edges on some leaves. For awhile now they have been slightly curling down and/or up on the tips as well and turning brown.

Thank you all for your help. I think all the problems have cleared up. I didn't do anything but flush and keep following my GH nute schedule.
The white build up does continue to be a problem on some leaves and the hydroton, but a flush every two weeks seems to be keeping it at bay. It isn't a...
Thank you so much for your quick reply! I thought I might be worrying too much, but I am just learning.
Thank you for the information. Good info since I plan on trying my hand at cloning next grow.
I am new to growing (this is my first real time, two small grows before) and running into the beginning of some issues. I am hoping someone here with more experience might be able to help me out!
I have the following medical grow set up:
5.5 - 6.5 ph (not exact, using chemicals to test right...
