MAIN UPDATES: Nute burn from last week visible in some photos, it's not too bad and plants are doing pretty well. Very little training this week, just pushing the odd leaf out of the way. CLIMATE: Pushed temps and humidity up as the gap between the Leaf Surface Temp (LST) and ambient air temp was too narrow. Now running: 31'C/ 32'C ambient air ~ 60% RH ~ 29'C/ 30'C LST (plants are responding well due to high Co2 levels) ~ Leaf to air temp variance of 1-2'C LIGHT: Similar, dropped the schedule down to 17 hours to bring the Daily Light Integral down slightly (I think last week the leaves on another plant in the room (Purple Hulk) suffered light stress, see pics on last weeks grower question) Red/Blue/2x full spectrum CREE COBs (+IR and UV supplementation) At plant canopy = Avg. PPFD 770umols/s/m2 ~ Lux 25,000-35,000 ~ Daily Light Integral 50-55 CROP CONTROL: (Same as usual) Infection control practices i.e -PPE, Alcohol Hand wash -Gray room outside tent, -Carbon filter -HEPA filter -Plasma Ionizer -Inline UV-C germicidal bulb Update: Now using higher powered (UVC) 253nm & 187nm bulb, to disinfect the gray room outside of the tent once a week for 30 mins. The Ozone (o3) gas that is produced is then directed into the tent to further control any unwanted pathogens. The gas is then exhausted outside into the open air. Ed Rosenthal -Zero Tolerance on hand if needs be too. Hopefully to avoid ever needing chemical pesticides.

The Purple Hulk Auto is getting light green/yellow discoloration at the edges of the leaf. Any idea what is causing it?

This book I have says nitrogen deficiency shows as yellowing tips of leaves starting with lower/older leaves. Iโ€™m on my first grow too, so Iโ€™ll defer to others and am interested to hear what it is.

I pushed the temps up and got the VDP on point w/co2. Now since the plant is drawing a lot more water up through the roots, I've noticed very slight nute burn on the newest leaf growths. Do you have to drop PPM's as temps rise? I thought it was the other way around?

Its likely a potassium deficiency. During flowering the plant requires more phosphorus and potassium. Plus always check ph levels coming off plant in run off. Good luck and happy growing. If edges burn and curl up and in, is when it is nutrition burn. Which in most cases is caused by ph problems. good luck and happy growing ๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒฒ๐Ÿ‘Š

@guerillano_4 hi mate I have looked at previous comments to ur issue and from my research with my own issues the same, I moved my light closer and put onto 100% power and the leafs curling the way they are is a sign of heat stress and if left and not addressed can hinder photosynthesis I turned the power on my light down to 80% and roughly 20inches away i measured with a lux meter and converted to par, the cheaper way as don't have a meter can't remember what my results where but I can say that the issue was resolved my leafs have not got any worse but the slight damage is still visible.. hopefully this helps. And hey nice plants and a nice grow, happy flowing ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ’ฏ

@Syrunz, yeah you were right brother. I think my co2 levels were dropping to 8-900ppm, the plants couldn't handle the 30+ Celsius heat and light intensity without the extra co2

@Indica_Jones, Ahh yes I see what you mean, the Northern lights variety is growing very well, the Purple Hulk was definitely having some issues. I think my PH was down around 5.5 last week, I had noticed the leaf margins but not the red stems. So you are probably right. I also use Autopots and the line on the Purple Hulk got kinked. The medium was drying out by the time I noticed. It was obviously one of those issues, or both possibly. The new growths seem fine at 6.1, should I leave it or push it up to 6.5?

@GuerrillaNo_4, I honeslty have no idea!!!! i'm dealing with space issues myself... i keep expanding lol I wouldnt worry about it being detrimental to the plants. Just watch how this grow goes and adjust for the next one! either way its gonna be AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@MrHightimes, Who'd have known, last thing I expected was space issues with just 2 autoflowers. Do you reckon it will be much of a problem? Or will it just limit my yield a bit?

Listen! this is going fantastic! WAYYY Better than my first grow!!! I think I've been lucky this whole time b/c I've been using really nice lights!!!!! I really like Mars Hydro and HLG.... yes they are $600 lights or more, but u reap the profits and the cost is offset! I think you also would benefit from some high end LEDs But things are looking GREAT in there!!!!

its been agonizing for me to learn (see my first diary) but go ahead and defoliate the hell outta those bitches!!!!! easier said than done I know, but take of a whole pile from each plant! I'm still not as aggressive as I probably will become, but it helps more than it hurts!
GuerrillaNo_4
GuerrillaNo_4
@MrHightimes, ahh I think I'll limit defoliation as much as possible, I just push some down and out of the way. I have a high enough DLI, I imagine they need the leaves to photosynthesize the light.

@lateKdF, Ahh I see what you mean, and I agree. Pruning the under grow and removing damaged leaves, is fair enough. But defoliating active fan leaves in upper canopy doesn't make sense to me, especially in an autoflower with a limited lifecycle. I could be wrong, I am only a beginner. But am I wrong in assuming that the buds require the fan leaves to photosynthesize the light efficiently, so they can gain that energy to grow. I'm open to trying it out though, but I'd need evidence that it would increase yield or quality before I would go cutting away the plants healthy means of production. I haven't seen any yet.

@GuerrillaNo_4, Indulge me: plants have a finite amount of energy. Early stage focuses on growth that will poise the plant for it's ultimate goal; procreation. As the plant shifts into the flower stage, it's primary goal is to stretch and get the female vagina flower parts in prime position to get impregnated with male pollen. You'll notice allot of grows with bare naked lower parts of the plant, stripped by the gardener to focus as much of the plants energy as possible into flower production. At this point, too many leaves can become a liability. It's about flower development, NOT growth, per se. Additionally, my friend, you want as much open space within the canopy interior to maximize gas exchange, and minimize chances for mold and pests.

@lateKdF, Why? Do I not want the leaves to photosynthesize the light?
