Light Stress

What would be the better option, to raise my light further away, or adjusting the dimmer to less than 100%. Current light I’m using is a SF-1000. Thanks in advance.

Hi there Lysidious, so the good news is your light is not a problem. I see a basically healthy plant with short internodes , meaning the light is the right distance to prevent stretching. This is good. But you’re right to notice the slight discoloration on the newest growth and the burnt tips. These are actually two separate problems. Burnt tips are nutrient burn , probably from slightly too much N. Simply try to reduce your NPk or the kelp based additive which contains N. The discolored new leaves is a symptom of micronutrient deficiency , that’s because it’s an “immobile “ nutrient . Just add calmag and the problem will stop spreading immediately and the plant should recover quickly . Hope this helps ! 🚀

Burnt leaf tips like that are generally the first sign of too much nitrogen and not light issues. Also as it only seems to be one leaf that is not perfect, I would say you have caught this problem early, so either reduce your feeding frequency or lessen the strength of your nutrients. Remember too, defoliation just reduces your plants capacity to produce energy, thereby slowing growth. Your plant needs every healthy green leaf she has to be able to make the maximum amount of energy, so that she can grow to her maximum size. Try to only ever remove yellow leaves, for by the time they are yellow, they have served their purpose. Hope this helps,......... Organoman.
