hey guys, thought I do a little Diary. since I am already on the 23rd day of flowering, here some words of what happened so far:) I am growing for some time now.. It is my first grow since 2 years, but I did some. only HPS, soil, coco, hydro, DWC.. sog, scrog, etc. my max yield was about 750g in a 4x4 600W HPS. I started small again. 2x4 tent, 400W Lm301H's, I build one big lamp with 4x 120W lm301h's, and 8x 660nm epistars per board, running on full power right now (390W approx).. Had them on low power for a while, about 200 watts or less, but closer to the canopy, in fear of lightburn, then I put the lights further up, upped power to 250W approx, and they seemed to do better. I think since I put the lights on 100% they are doing again a bit better, and I now raised the lamp to 50cm, somehow It looks like the plants need that intensity from the lamp. I've read that transpiration issues do make weird problems under LED. I upped the nutes also last feeding, 3/4 dose last watering. These 4 strains, 13 plants had a rough time in the beginning, caused by .08 EC water which locked out some nutrients, so the veg took longer. since flushing, they bounced Back, this should be a selection grow, from seed, so I took clones for each plant, and another prune about one week before switching to 12/12, after the nutes were dialed in and everything. these are the motherplants flowering. Then in week 2 I finally added a net above the canopy,(in fear of them shooting up lol), repositioned the plants and cut some dying lower branches too. lots of lower leafes were falling off during stretch, so I added more N, and also I guess not enough phosphorus, so I added a bit more P to the mix. but still the upper growth looks kind of very light green or yellowish.. idk if thats light burn, or not enough nutes.. I feed very lightly every 2nd to third watering, dosage about half of what is recommended in soil. last watering I did with only epsom salts in case of sulfur deficiency, ( the yellowish upper leafes could indicate that)... last feeding was 3/4 strenght nutes NPK about 13/16/20. calmag usually 1ml/l every watering... I use RO water now. a little help with diagnosing is highly appreciated! especially for the yellowing.. I don't think it is light burn. lamps 50cm away, and since Iam pulling 100% from the lamp and give a little more nutes, they seem to do a bit better..:)

what do you guys think about the yellowing? now when I think back, I once did a grow on coco, which had also yellowish growth.. my soil mix is about 10% coco. ph about 6.4 ... I tend to underfeed my plants...

Honestly I think you have a perfect amount on nitrogen in your leaves. You don't want to be adding hardly any nitrogen. Mainly potassium and phosphorus. Your buds are about to swell. Nitrogen can hinder bud development. Yellowing across the top of a canopy is usually from light being too close but don't see anything to stress about right now. ๐ŸŒฑ good luck

do u guys think I should defoliate slightly? I mean can't change the fact that it is leafy aF, but I am kinda worried about leaves sweating on eachother, . thinking bout plucking some of the upper yellow leaves, got plenty healthy ones below.a few each day or so

Hi there, in my opinion if a leaf is not in the best of shape, like showing deficiency and the leaves below that look good then I would remove it to let light hit the better growth. Take a look from the top down and calculate what needs going before you remove it because its so easy to get caught up in defoliation and strip the plant before you know it.

hey, thanks for the input... I added N only one watering, when the lower leaves were falling off easily when moving the plants, but it was still during stretch phase in week 2. after that I hit them with a stronger P dose once, when flowers developed , lower N than recommended too. as for the N, I think the lower leaves falling off was also just due to lack of light below and maybe P def. not quite sure... some lower branches were turning purple/brown splotches, I think that could be also just cause these branches get no light though thus the plant feeding on them to provide for the budding.. right now I am just using NPK in line with GHE's schematic, I think about 13/16/20. just updated my fert scheme to the diary. still the yellow-greenish color of them bugs me a bit. I guess I am also just used to hps and DWC where they appear much more dark green during this period..
