PH, temperature and humidity are all bang on. Most of the large hands are a healthy colour and soft but are going slightly limp.

Under feeding? Root damage? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks! :bigjoint:

Up the pic to the gallery here that link doesn't work.:)

From reading your post I'm wondering when you pinched the top out? Also what is your EC/

Someone once taught me to nip the head out about a week before flowering. Rather than 1 main stem and head with a couple of smaller branches further down the plant, it produces a crown of 4 to 5 heads of a similar good size and icreases the yield without the plant gaining too much hight. :smokie:
