I suspect heat stress because i had recently moved my grow into my first tent setup and it got toasty. 95 F. my exhaust fan was to small. i have since fixed the problem and tent is running about 78 F now. Does this look like heat stress or perhaps another problem. Thanks

Looks a little more like excess nitrogen. Clawing, burnt tips, darker green. How long were they in high heat?

im going to figure about 12 hours before I caught it. could be nitrogen burn I guess I did give it a half dose of fertilizer last watering. its 5 weeks old in ffof. gave it 1/4 teaspoon of ff grow big to half gallon of water. I had been warned not to give fertilizer for 6 weeks with the ffof. so i may very well have burnt it.
Ive been doing a lot of reading on organics. Just seems complicated, probably because im making it complicated. I just want a simple feeding program. im not even worried over pushing the plants for maximum yields just whats needed to keep them healthy and average production. been looking at this dr. earth flower girl fertilizer that I guess you just top dress and water in. I just dont know if it provides what weed needs during flowering. The ffof seems to carry my autos through the veg stage. was very happy with this plant until I got involved lol Im still happy with her, I just hate that ive damaged it.
If you haven’t heard of grow dots yet check them out. They are made by the same company that makes recharge. They aren’t organic but are supposed to be a one and done slow release fertilizer for an entire grow, it has 4 weeks of higher Nitrogen levels for veg then it switches to higher levels of phosphorus and potassium for throughout flower. It’s supposed to be almost perfect for autos. There has been quite a few in here that have had good results with dots and I’m going to be giving them a shot in my next run.

I’m planning to mix the dots into my soil in the proper measurements for a 5 gal pot and just water with recharge every other watering and maybe some cal mag as needed. That’s it. I’m trying to see how simple I can do a run. Plus you can get a small bag of them on Amazon for like 8 bucks that will do a couple grows. It don’t get any better than that.

FF soils have been getting a little bit of a rep for inconsistency lately. Do you know your runoff numbers? When PPM runoff is around 1000 it’s time to start feeding, and half strength with FF nutes is a good place to start.

sorry i dont have that info. I have a meter coming in the mail but dont have it yet.
Even with a one and done fertilizer you’ll need to be checking those numbers. If you dial in the ppms and ph you’ll have taken care of 80 percent of the troubles that could arise imo.

Yeah i recently odered a ph and tds meter waiting on them to arrive. I was using a cheap lowes prong meter before to check ph. ive mostly just been doing a basic half the smallest feeding dose to all my plants. I for sure need to learn how to give nutes better
