Looking good there Sargent. I was thinking that when they were smaller and you thought they were having trouble, it also could've been due to the water retention in the soil. I noticed you barely have any other kind of substrate in there besides the soil, maybe next time throw in some more perlite than what there was. Help water flow through the pot. But I'm sure you knew that already.

Hi guys jus a few more picture only took 10 mins ago.

Question - The newer leaf sets are curling up into itself. I assume from exp that its due to heat or light burn. I did have my 250w about 6-8 inches from the tip pretty much from start. Only now they are curling, only the new sets tho. the rest is rather good or acceptable. I raised the light to about 20 inches now, did that 4 hours ago. Tricky thing is when the lights were out for the 6 hours, they mostly lay out flat still a little curling but nowhere as bad.

Here's the recent pictures.

Td has many mutations in its genetics which have leaf curl. An Extreme light feeder thats genetics come from the equator. Thats the A-5 Haze pheno I have that is a 20 week + excursion and stretches for the first 9 weeks, seriously only pistils. This phenos bud won the cup but it has since been outbred. It has single nodes only, red stems and stretches like nothing I've ever seen, and I am a sativa guy.
Ive heard barneys is replacing any of the first batch. Most people if they were lucky enough to germ the seed, tended to get this equator sativa pheno and gave up on it after 11 weeks and no bud, just leaf curl and stretch. This is all the info you will likely find on the inter-web.

Although I am not done yet, I heard the yield was super small, so I vegged since day one and got a beast. DON"T OVERVEG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it kepps getting bigger

Heres some info and I'm getting ready to plant another td bean in hopes of a better yielder. This strain has been the hardest for me. 900 ppm and no boosters

Sorry to ramble but I wish I had this advice.

see i may be over-watering it, the room temp gets hot so i have to have a fan blowing. coz of that the soil dries quicker. i havent given it any food yet. still water and the ph is 7.2

thanks for lookin kev
maybe try what kevs got and put hydroton on top of the soil so it stays moist that little longer and hopefully wouldnt dry out as much
