Anyone had a plant with very noticeable circadian rhythm?

I'd say so. It's only getting tap water in shitty medium. Trying to see how far I can get without putting in any effort.

Popping two red skunks ATM that I'll take seriously, throw in Coco and put under a 240w board in a 2x4.

You can grow very healthy plants with a basic soil mix, 10% sand, and add a few dry nutes into the soil, very cheap, low effect.
pot size is really important, you could use a 40ltr pot and grow the plant 2ft wide, 2ft high, you really need a large root mass to pull this off.
just added pics

No idea lol. I'd say terrible medium and no feed. Add to that 35c temps and it's living the dream as you can see.

It's not drooping any more, but be fucked is it slow. Popped just before new year and it's only here lol.

It's literally in reused medium from my chilli's quarter ass amended without a re-cook lol. I'm surprised it's not dead. It hit 39c in the tent yesterday.

You dim that light down & lower it toward the canopy, you can still get the same intensity as if from a higher wattage, and hanging at a higher distance. This will lower your temps.
I’m at 50% on my light. 480w total so it’s at 240.. 4 plants in a square formation taking in about 60w a piece. Still in veg. Temps are 77F right now.
The real power is needed in flower. Maybe adding an AC to the room & a powered intake/ better exhaust will help with your heat later in flower.

For sure. My AC is at my last place interstate ATM so I'm winging it. Had a week or 2 at 28-29c, but lately it has been hot and humid.

I'm definitely going to lower the light and dim it a bit for now as it's due to be mid 30c ambient for a while meaning high 30s in the tent if I don't do something.

I've gotta get environment sorted pretty soon as I plan on popping a few decent seeds in Coco and set up the 2x4 or 4x4 and actually feeding them lol.

Just to add to it, the fungus gnats infestation probably isn't helping anything. Im currently running BTi pellets, BTi drench, Neem drench, Neem top dress and sticky traps all at once and they are rapidly multiplying despite all that. All the drenching isn't helping the plants at all either. I tried mozzie dunks as well with no success.

I can literally watch them vacate when drenched with BTi, then watch them fly back in and walk all over the BTi pellets and Neem mix an hour later. They land on the traps and fly away as well lol..

Even if I let the top dry out completely, they just relocate to the drainage holes.

Another reason I planned to cull when the red skunks pop. Never had this issue before with Coco, and the medium was moist 24/7.

I never see a single gnat flying around Until I drench with BTi plus Neem and they are literally everywhere for an hour and then make their way back to the medium. I can't imagine the plant is liking this. I even run a vacuum while I drench lol.

Always seem to get gnats, you want 2" of sharp sand on top of the soil, I used to buy large plastic pots and drill holes in the bottom, fill the bottom of the pots with 1" of sharp sand, thin the canopy out early flower, lollipop the plants so the sand dry's out quickly after watering.

keep humidity low, airflow high.

The only thing I haven't tried is sand or DE, so I should cut to the chase. Probs beats drowning the plant with BTi and Neem all the time.

Punch Cookies by Symbiotic. Since 2019 the same cutting perks up about 30 mins before lights on and droops about the same prior to lights off both in veg and flower. Other than that not many other strains have showed such obvious behavior.
