TweetNLstarted grow question 6 years ago
Some brown spots showing on the top sugar leaves. I suspect it is due to the cooling fan of the light blowing down hot air?
I've adjusted the fans to blow air directly over the top of the main cola's and I increased the light distance.

Hi Tweet, great grow , really healthy throughout ! What I think happened is that the lamp to plant distance is a bit short so the top of the plant reacted to that. you can see the top leaves cupping from the heat and the stress, and that's where the browning is coming from. Adjust your lights higher to deal with the heat and light stress and it should recover quickly. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Pest attack. What can I use to eradicate?3 weeks of flowering, and the pests are still here. Can I play Beauveria Bassiana? Or just neem oil?
- The temperatures were very high here, exceeding 30°C, this week it will decrease.
- I have other plants to harvest and I'm going to take advantage and clean the grow.
