Sounds like a spider mite not a baby spider. You'l want to try and kill those before they get out of control if that's what it is. It very well could be what' eating at your leaves.

About cutting leaves. I always leave about a quarter inch of the stem attached to the main staulk witch will give the small stems your talking about a little support to lean on as the grow.

Did you soak it with water yet? You want to soak the entire medium. The plants roots should be at the bottom by now if you transplanted more than 4 or 5 days ago. What's the temperatures like day and night?

Didn't really"soak" it yet. The most I added was like 3 pints of water on the past Thursday and that's it. Should I be doing 3 gallons and getting slight run off to indicate it's soaked?

Yes you want 20 to 30% run off when you water. Especially if your going to use nutes. My temps were really high before I switched my day/night cycle. I thought 82 was high for day time temps lol you def want a couple small fans in there blowing right on it. That will also keep the spider mites from setting up shop on your leaves some what. ( from the leavea gently blowing hard to set up their webs) I found some capapillar damage on my leaves this week so I'm doing a monetary spinosad treatment tonight whwn lights come on.

I am using kind soil at the bottom and roots organic potting soil at the top .am I still supposed to get runoff? I'm not adding nutes since it's the hot soil already and I'm adding co2 for the high temps

Ya you need to water until water starts coming out the bottom evenly in any case.

I've never done a mainline I prefer LET and topping. But it looks like you did a good job on it. Now the fun part... WAITING!

I will say.. becarful how much you trim from this point on. Less leaves equally less energy.

This is this morning!! Crazy growth but I noticed the leaves are curling. I had one the fans raised a bit and I guess the new growth must of gotten wind burned. I lowered it back to the bottom of the pot and this morning the curling went down about 50% Other than that, it’s looking good

Looking good
Is yours plant a photo? If so let it veg for at least 5 to 6 weeks before the flip. I made the mistake of only vegging for 3 weeks and I wish I would have went just a little bigger even for a micro grow.

Especially if your light is 300 watt or less it's not going to get big as you wanted (the buds)

Bro I been thru so much hell im the last 4 weeks. I broke a main from the mainline at the bottom where the 4 mains were supposed to be. So I had 3 mains to start n then i had to move it to my boy crib. During the transportation, broke another stem smfh. He has centra air and the humidity is always in the 80s to lower 70s 80% of the time. I have 2 damp rids and a dehumidifier but it’s not helping. Also there seems to be something chewing on my damn fan leaves. I’m ready to toss this shit man. I can’t bring it back to my place cuz there’s some inspection going on that’s been “delayed” until further notice. So these are the recent pics. Did some defoliation. I wanna switch to flower but I don’t want the humidity being a issue. On top of that, my top leaves are drastically folding in and starting to claw. Idk if it’s underwater cuz I been letting it go dry on purpose or there’s some nitrogen deficiency. 9D5C557B-0CFF-4DC6-B028-FF344E289B24.jpeg5BB6A03D-3977-46BE-B07E-399E90D9E3C8.jpeg

Wat up y’all?? Quick update. Had to start over on account of some major bs that happened. But I’m like in week 5 of flowering now. I did the mainline with 8 colas but side branches started booming!! I thought I had it under control until the flower stretch didn’t really stop lol. But check the pics and lmk if I should be adding some kind of bloom fert for fatter buds or better terps and thc. I believe it’s either bubblegum or blueberry ghost og. I hope it’s da latter but I never had neither personally. Anyways. I’m using 300 w led with little led strobe-like lights which kinda help with the sides. And I threw In 2 cfl to just support some side brightness. If I if I have the led too close to the tops. They are about 2 inches from the highest cola. But it’s not burning the fan leaves or anything strange looks like it’s haplening. My bad for the essay but I think I should’ve addressed a few concerns at once. Thanks guys
