I found out something interesting which i was unaware of. See I couldn't figure out why my plants burned because the mixture rrate for the week of flowering i was in at the time, said it would measure 1200ppm. So recently i pulled out a TDS meter and calibrated it. (it's brand new) and my nutrient mix which was supposed to be 1200ppm, was 2486ppm. It turns out that my tap water by itself was over 400ppm. So the picture has become a little more clear as to what happened. All of my grow experiences comes from the lower mainland of British Columbia, where we enjoyed very clean, SOFT water. So i moved to a very hard water location and after a 10 year hiatus in growing, i started again but with the soft water mentality. Lesson learned!!! So now I'm backing off my nutrients a bit from the feed chart. So the mixture rate for this week is my own blend in terms of ml/L The other factor is that i was adding calmag to the mix rate which is not part of the feed schedule. Additionally, i was adding a Ocean Magic 0-0-5 sea kelp type concoction from green planet, as i ran out of Sea Storm which is the IPP blend of sea stuff. But the biggest factor was definitely the tap water ppm. I didn't bother to flush them after the second time they burned. I said fuck it. It's too much trouble with the AC Infinity bases because the roots grow out the bottom of the fabric and weave themselves into the wick rope, so if you take off the fabric pot you pull out the wick ropes and it's just a bitch, so fug it! Instead i let the soil dry out then i watered with a 6.2 pH calmag solution. I douched each pot with 2 Liters of calmag. A little runoff, nothing crazy. 3 days later i mixed nutrients and discovered the huge PPM issue in the tap water, and then saw my mixture was almost 2500ppm. I diluted the mixture with an additional 15 liters of water and the ppm was just below 900ppm. I watered that in. 2 Liters in each pot. A little runoff, nuthin crazy. Last light, i watered the girls with 2 liters each of just tap water with a 6.1 pH and 2.5ml per liter of hygrozyme. I did that to just give the medium a light flush, but more so to wet the salts in the medium and allow for the plant to further absorb what it can. And the hygrozyme was added to break down the dead or dried out roots in the soil and turn that into usable food for the plants. By Wednesday or Thursday they will be ready for another watering, and then i will mix the ratio's listed in the nutrient break down. They've been hammered hard with nutrient burn, and it's certainly going to impact yield, but don't worry! Lemon Kush grows some mighty buds, even when it's taken abuse! It's gonna be just fine! You can see that even the most heavily affected plants, vs. the marginally affected plants.....the buds aren't much different in size. The lower portion of the plant is green and healthy, and has plenty of intact leaves to photosynthesize to aid in the bud development higher up the plant where the fan leaves were decimated.

Best guess as to what this is caused by? Only appears on upper half of the plant. Lower half is healthy and normal. Flushed with 5 Liters of 6.4 pH water stopped the progression

The symptoms you're describing, with damage mainly on the upper half of the plant's leaves, could be indicative of nutrient imbalance or pH fluctuation. Leaf burn at the edges suggests a potential excess of certain nutrients. The fact that flushing with pH-adjusted water stopped the progression is a good sign. It likely helped remove excess salts or imbalances in the growing medium. To troubleshoot further: Check pH Levels: Regularly monitor the pH of your water and soil. Ensure it remains within the optimal range for your plants. Fluctuations can affect nutrient uptake. Nutrient Levels: Assess the nutrient levels in your soil. Excessive amounts of certain nutrients can lead to leaf burn. Consider using a balanced, well-formulated fertilizer. Watering Practices: Ensure that you are not overwatering or underwatering. Both extremes can stress the plant and affect nutrient uptake. Lighting: If the issue is only on the upper leaves, evaluate your lighting setup. Too much intensity or proximity of the light source can cause leaf burn. Keep a close eye on your plants, and if you notice any new developments or changes, adjust your care accordingly. Sometimes, these issues can be trial-and-error to find the perfect balance for your specific growing conditions.

Good stuff for first coco grow! I’ve been on sites with the Female Seeds brand but never purchased any of their stuff. This will be good to see

@FrontRowAG_BrianG, I bought the seeds in 2011 and have kept them in the fridge all that time.

@Kitties_and_Colas, Nothing unusual that i've noticed. I did a fair bit of research before i put them in there. All the data i read seemed to lean towards it not having an effect on them. I can't express how valuable having cameras in the grow is. Game changer for me. Allows my laziness to soar to new heights! lol

Hey @AutoflowersSucK have you noticed any abnormal/weird revegetative growth since using your cameras?.. I ask because we had a lot of issues with hermis and mutated leaves couple years and someone mentioned it could be the infrared light from our night vision cameras disrupting their dark period..We seem fine since my husband removed the cameras but it may not even be related, I thoght id ask someone who uses them, thank you for any input! πŸ‘ŠπŸ˜Ί

@BudBoutique, I can't express enough how valuable having cams in your tents is. I love to sit and watch my plants. I find it relaxing to watch the leaves rustle and to just look them over and relax. The thing with that habit is that you have your tent open and you fuck up your VPD. With the cams, i can check on my plants anywhere in the world as long as i have a internet connection. I can lay in bed and put the cam on and just watch them live. I look at them through the cameras so often that i have a very good understanding of them and how they grow. If an issue arises, like droubt or over feeding burn, i can see it pretty quickly and get in there to rectify the problem. Or if my oscillating fan stops working, or if any equipment should fail.

"Some of the plants are having trouble establishing a capillary action and drawing up the water from the bases" Had that issues with high ppm/ec with my lemon durban autos they never drank the bottom half of the pot. root systems were bad when i checked after harvest.

@@TPYRD, Ya like wide screen, i get it. Man, i'm fuckin irritated by a answer in the grow question by one of the regulars. I'm just pissed that he gave such shit advice, and the guy selected his answer before i got my reply posted.....

@AutoflowersSucK, should mention it doesnt physically rotate like yours, but you can flip from landscape to portrait. And usually they have 120 degree angle or better. Just a way to reuse old phones that sit in drawers. And with phones fitting easy into those bendy style holders theyre easy to mount and throw on a charger. Just dont let them bake directly in the light, id be worried about the batteries getting hot. Constant charge + recording/broadcasting + heat from light.. id place it above a light and have a fan on it or throw an old heat sink on the back if you notice it getting hot-hot I use one as a webcam for discord, but never put one in a tent.. so there might be some spicey variables to consider.

@@TPYRD, Thats really cool man thank you for that info i didn't consider that. I'm gonna check it out. My wife has a 5x5 maybe i'll try it in there :D

@GYOweed, Ya thats a shame. The female seed i had was a freebe from a seed purchase back in 2011. I had the seed in my fridge for 10 years. I just got rid of the mother from seed this year but kept a clone of it and now i have a new Lemon Kush Mother from Clone. I like the plant. It hardy and really tough. Doesn't bush up much so no need to defoliate. Grows in a classic sativa pattern but with not too much height. My particular crop is going to be a 9 week finish, and thats 9 weeks to get the bulk of your trichomes cloudy. Next weekend i'll be chopping them down.
