Hey guys hope everyone is well, Im currently in day 32 with my zkittlez and my first grow. Seems all well but i do have a few questions and concerns if anyone can help.
If you look at the pictures you will see some Light burn(Maybe?) mostly at the top of the plants so i ended up bringing my light as high as it goes (24 inch from canopy) and i cannot bring my lights any higher and my plants keeps growing!! About 20 inches now. What should I do? I dont want it to continue to burn. I can bring the dimmer down if that helps.
FYI I have not fed any nutes yet. Growing in FFHP and FFOF. Planning on introducing them during week 5.
I am also seeing some yellow tips now around the plant, its very small tho can it be soil being so hot?
If theres anything you guys can see or any other concerns please let me know, I want to learn as much as i can. Thanks guys
Silica supplements help with the heat/light stress.
Looking at your plants it does not seem like your lights are strong enough. I have had plants grow up into and past the lights. I dont think 20" should be doing this.
77 to 81
I have had a couple plants that just seemed to do that all the way thru.
Skinny twisted new leaves, but they were fine a few days later.
Overall yours look really good. Good color, no nute burn or deficiencies.
like @GoodMafia said. There is a technique i have read about where you roll the stem between your thumb and fore finger gently squeeze it while bending it. Never tried it. Maybe @Covertgrower@MrPeat@Not2SureYet@Happilyretired Know.
Thanks for getting back to me! Sorry if i sound like a noob but what exactly do you mean the lights are not strong enough?? not to strong to cause the light burns? Its just weird that its happening only on the top of the plant. Sorry for the confusion the light WAS 24 inch away from plants 3 days ago but it grew about 3-4 inch since so now its about 20inch away from the light…
I will look into Silica supplements just incase tho
Thanks man im just nervous about the whole Yellow tips coming out of the top so i just wasnt sure if its Soil being to hot or Light burn. These girls keep growing taller so i was getting worried. They are about 20 inches long now sheesh
be strong! You can do it lol. This is an LST technique and you can do it in all stages! I would do it now since the stem will be harden in tow more weeks. Do it gently. You can tie it a little bit everyday, gradually I mean if you don’t feel comfortable.
Stretched stems, lots of space between foliage.
A plant with good strong lighting will look like this…
Thick filled in foiliage.
There are exceptions of course, but generally when I see a plant like the first pic in this post I think “Not Enough Light”
