@The_Projexx @MUDBUG @mad_scientist So my problem with the light is that its already as high as possible in my tent. I could dim my light down from 400W to 250W if that will help? If not I'll try changing to a 10/14 light schedule and I'll bring the RH up a bit and see if that helps. I'm using Plagron nutes for coco but I've yet to purchase the Green Sensation since its a little pricey so when I went into flowering I just upped the amount I was giving them. @@@Athos I thought I was overfeeding as well since the shorter plant has the dark shiny leaves too but little to no yellow tips yet. So I've lowered the nutes and switched to watering every other day.. waiting to see if that helps. And yes I know, sorry about the lighting! Thank you all, I appreciate the advise. This site has been amazing!

@Grow413, how that solved your issue.

Grow413commented6 years ago

@@Athos, I did a little more of that and it seems to have helped keep those buds from getting any more damaged. Leaves are slightly crispy but the buds fell nice and dense.

@Grow413, You can try dimming the light if you have a digital ballast other then that im not to sure , you could get a cool tube that will help alot , but its like 120 $ .

@bulbi @chi_town_white_boy Thanks for the replies! I'm actually using a 400W HPS light for my flowering. I currently have it dimmed down to 250 though. Should I up it to the full 400W? Also the height on these was a bit more than I was expecting ( you can see one is much shorter than the other ) that's the main issue I've been having, Ive bent them over as much as I can. They don't seem to be showing much signs of light burn.. there's a few tips of the leaves that are yellow but it hasn't progressed at all and its very minimal. The thermometer is right at the canopy height so I would assume its slightly warmer directly under the light but I'll have to get a laser thermometer so I can dial in the temps better. How much molassass do you recommend per gallon mixture? I've only done that for the last few feedings before harvest.

@Grow413, Another thing I want to mention is that what happened earlier on in the life cycle can often cause this. I had a plant (LSD-25, there's a diary on here of that plant) that I topped too early. It caused the plant to grow all funky -- very sparse. Yours isn't quite as bad as mine was, but I just want to mention that it might not be something you're doing NOW, but possibly something you did a few weeks back that caused it to stunt. Again, I think you'll get a decent yield off this. It looks like it's going to bulk up nicely!

@Grow413, yes for sure you want to be maxed out lux wise at this point just turn it up lol . Molasses is easy one tablespoon a gallon you'll be alright. just dilute it first!

@Grow413, The only thing about dialing it up is that, like @bulbi said, you want to watch out for heat. In all honesty, this doesn't look terrible for a grow. It will definitely bulk up -- all of the pistils look white. There's a lot more time for them to flower -- I'd say easy 4 weeks to harvest, likely more. You're going to see a bulking up next week. Your leaves all look green and healthy. It doesn't seem like nutrient burn is a problem -- so the ppm level is okay. There's no scorching or tacoing, is there? If there is -- and I'm not seeing it -- then you have a heat issue. If no tacoing, which is usually an earlier sign than others, then you're fine with heat -- no problem. It could be too cold, like I mentioned earlier. Lastly, while you dont have a light penetration problem, you have some MASSIVE fan leaves. You may consider removing some of the top most ones like that. I say that because it's using a lot of nutrients to sustain those massive leaves. By removing only a few (the massive ones), it seems to force the plant to focus on the buds -- or at least the rest of the plant. I think you'll get a decent yield off this. It may have stretched too much and you wont see long, massive buds -- but collectively you'll get a decent yield. Keep us posted! 👍

@MUDBUG, yea? I’ll give that a try. Is that to just put more focus into the buds?

hey there , they are a bit small, but I'm guessing the lights are just a little bit weak for them. Why not try upping the nutes a bit with some molasses and a bloom booster like mag sulfur. the substrate's a tiny bit cold , but still quite alright. Your lamp to plant distance is dangerously close, it could be stressing out the plant, you want to up that to around 40/50cm minimum. Just dial it in this strain picks up later anyway. Good luck ! 🚀

Nice looking harvest @413 congratulations. Looks like the heat stress there at the end didn't mess the crop up thankfully. Hows the smoking taste 😎

Grow413commented6 years ago

@HighTV, Thanks! yea the bigger one got a little crunchy but after some time in jars they got a little more sticky. Taste is great! earthy with a bit of citrus and sweetness.

Congrats on your harvest 💪

Grow413commentedweek 66 years ago

So I turned my light up to the full 400W and that helped the temp get into the 80's. Ill monitor the temp of the canopy better once my laser thermo comes in. I had been trimming the fan leaves off all along but didn't want to go too far and stress them too much. I did top both of them during veg but I missed on the smaller one and ended up just deforming a few leaves and stunting the growth lol but the larger one I topped correctly well into veg. I also had spider mites in the beginning but I eliminated them 100% just as they were going into flower so I'm sure that helped slow them down. My previous two grows got to this point and didn't get any bigger and I ended up with small fluffy buds that were not great to smoke, hence my concern, but my set up was shit compared to what I have now lol so I'm definitely feeling more confident in these, they look pretty happy, Ill just have to be more patient haha I appreciate all the advice! Ill post an update in a week or so. Thanks!
