Starting to develop some frostiness on the top colas for two of the girls!
Aroma is still sweet, though a few hot days and high humidity might have killed some of those terps.
Currently switching to colder weather, so bud-rot is my main concern.
Open to suggestions as to harvest window - I suspect 1-2 weeks for the smaller plants.
Ensuring the top colas are no closer than 18" from light.
Might have overwatered all the girls throughout the week with drooped leaves. Perhaps this was okay considering I've increased the light hours to 24 hours. Hoping this will fatten up the buds and keep temps high enough to avoid bud rot..
August 25 - It's been difficult to keep humidity at bay overnight, but with a heater I've been able to keep it below 55 for 21/24 hours. This I'm sure will result in heat stress.
Judging from other diaries, perhaps these have another 2 - 4 weeks. Let's see!
@Hou_Stone, Thanks very much! I like the way you've hung your towels in your diary. I tend to just wrap my towels around the supporting frame/chassis of the tent, but having a line setup like yours is much easier!
Hi mate, if you find a way how to help the yellowing leaves let me know, I had the same thing just managed to stop it for a bit with PK but it was not a long term solution.
@Metatronix, You're welcome - I'll help in any way I can!
Interesting, I'll keep an eye on it and see how things progress. I defoliated the most offending leaves this morning, so any new yellowing should be easy to spot. I'm very intrigued, I just hope it's not a consistent problem.
Curious to see if the quality of smoke is greatly affected come cure.
@MMSC16, Thank you for the sum up bro ๐ I also see delicate signs of lights stress, just that it's nothing rough, the edges of the leaves just barely go up...the main thing has to be something else ๐ค
curious thing about overwatering could be, em not from that department but in my case as I wrote, my plants had very similar damage but it's hard not to overwater in DeepWaterCoulture ๐
I observe a growmie here who grows for years (uses the same nutes as me) Has similar trouble, he also can't put a finger on it...
@Metatronix, Hello! I certainly will - From what I understand from the community here, it's been a result of light stress and underwatering. I'm a complete novice - so take what I've learned with a grain of salt.
The cause in my case is likely as follows:
. Added an extra grow light in the same, very small environment
. Distance from light was ~13"
. Was watering every 2-5 days - coco requires more frequent watering.
. I also exposed my plants to direct sunlight in addition to the 2 grow lights.
. They're likely more resilient in vegetative stage to light burn, so symptoms only really arose as flowering progressed with final stretch.
As for the solution, in my case I've just been flushing with clean PH water and increasing freq. of water. Too early to see if it's working but I'll let you know as soon as I know more!
