Hello all! Last evening these plants had none of this going on. This has happened overnight. It looks like nute burn with a twist. It’s happened to all 4 plants. They also stretched about another 2 inches overnite.
Today makes them 38 days old. Plants went from root cube straight into ocean forest. Since they’ve started growing they have been like wildfire and looking absolutely great.
I gave them 1/2 nutes for the first time 5 days ago and they looked like they enjoyed it. Watered them yesterday, no nutes. The only thing I have been adding to the water on every watering has been a product called Continuum, which is a bacterial feed just like Fish Sh!t. PH has been in the low to mid 6’s the whole grow. Temps have been fairly stable in the mid 70’s and RH maintained around 55-60% since flower started. I’m using Advanced Nutrients PH Perfect. DLI at this point is in the high 30’s.
Thanks! I thought maybe insect also but however, after a careful looking over I don’t see any critters plus the yellow around the parts that look nibbled on seemed like maybe nute burn. Just don’t understand the 5 day delay if that’s what it is. If more of it tomorrow when I look in on 'em I’m gonna assume a critter that don’t like the lights on and only comes out to play in the dark and take appropriate action then.
Would neem oil be good or something else for the critters? I think I have some neem oil laying around somewhere or should I consider something different?
The yellowish tips are very lite, what are you feeding numbers and runoff numbers.
As for the leaves you showed, if it was a pest in your plants they would still be eating on them if you didn’t treat for pests,
Not sure what lights you have but from node spacing and thinning it looks to me like underpowered lights and might have caused some of the abnormal growth and yellowing.
Thanks for the replies all! The lights are HLG. Don’t remember the model but I’m setting light strength according to DLI at the tops of the plants. Guessing that would be the right place to measure the light. I also have been keeping DLI at the top of the non co2 graph because of the stretching since they poked there heads out of the soil. They have stretched and don’t seem to want to quit. I’m at a point now that I can’t move my lights any higher, they’re at the top of the tent now. I asked back when I first planted these if anyone had heard of Happy Valley genetics. They’re sold on ILGM and no one replied so I don’t have any idea if this strain is remarkably different than any other autoflower in terms of final height. As far as bugs go, I don’t see any further damage so I’m guessing critters aren’t the issue. Just a bit of nute burn. I had not checked the run off before adding the nutes. I was wrong in just assuming after a month a 1/2 dose wouldn’t hurt. Maybe an 18/6 schedule would be better. It would make for a stronger light to make DLI. I’ve been running them on 20/4.
Generally 18 inches or less at times. They’re getting closer than I want now but the tent only goes so high. Smelling too dank to even think about moving them out of the tent.
Ok I hear you on hight, u could pull both pots closer to your door and bend the top of the plants gently tie down to the far corners of the tent. Will show you what I mean
in your plants they would still be eating on them if you didn’t treat for pests,
