Please take a look at my first offspring

Looking for a net now. Does it matter what it's made of? Is metal fine? I probably worry too much.

Metal gets hot under a light. Not good

I love this one. It can be reused very easy and has some stretch It can be adjusted to fit a smaller tent as well

It's been a week since topping. I just changed the bulb to HPS and switched to 12/12h. I'm in the process of installing a net. Wish me luck, boys.

Some of the lowest leaves are getting yellow and falling off. I can only assume that it's because of the topping followed by switching to flowering and the fact that they're getting barely any light. Everything that's about ~10" above soil is fine, though, except for a few small dark spots.

I completely forgot I had Aptus Fulvic Blast (fulvic acids, iron, zinc, manganese, copper), so I added a little bit of that to the water and I'm going to use it once a week from now on.

Normal in flower. Nothing to do with topping.

Oh! Good to know. Although it started happening pretty much as soon as I switched.

Can I shine my phone's flashlight on the plants for a few seconds while the HPS is on? It's hard to tell what color they really are.

Yes and you can shut off the lites for a moment if needed too

Week 9. Not seeing any problems. The only issue is still the lack of space. As you can see in the pic, I finally put up a net. I'm also "reining in" some of the tallest shoots with small pieces of the net.
