Purple Punch

I’m not 100% sure that, that’s light burn. If it were, the very top of the plant would be scorched too.

can you get any more clear pictures of the leaves?

This is what I was thinking too. But what else could it be? My soil is alive as any soil out there. It has plenty NPK and my water is 6.5. RO water but I should not need Cal Mag yet should I ? Root bound plant would not do this would it? If this is anything other than light burn, I give up! lol seriously, these plants were 100 before I left them. Not the first spot ( brown , white , yellow , or purple for that matter ) no color spots anywhere. I open the tent and want to kick the plants to the moon is how I felt but I gained my composure , took a deep breath and went into recovery mode .
please tell me this is LED light burn !Please

How can it have severe P deficiency all ready? I thought super soil was supposed to provide this through out grow? I ran out of nitrogen on my last grow during flower and I recognized this but P never was an issue . I have 40% super soil ratio this time to fix all the deficiency I ran into last grow. My pots feel almost too heavy because of the dense super soil under the regular fox farms ocean blend . I dunno, I wished I’d taken a photo last night to show how those burned leaves were curling and turning away from the light. It was screaming light burn at me when I open the tectonic last night. I didn’t think anything else other than man I just burned up my plants
Shaking my head lol

I totally understand your theory about the tops not being burned . Here is a better picture of both plants in natural environment where burn took place. Notice I keep calling this a burn because that’s what I ultimately want it to be . How did only the middle or second set of fan leaves on both plants get burned . The second node is only ones to “ burn” ? Weird

I understand your frustration. It is possible that it, could, be light burn. I’m leaning more towards potassium...

Let’s see if anyone else can confirm or deny my theory.

This would be nice . I posted a thread on the forum titled possible LED might burn

 

[Ghostwriter31]

I chopped the two fan leaves and this is what it looks like now

 

[Backlipslide]

Anybody else comment on it?

the plant looks fine. Only way to go is forward!

 

[Ghostwriter31]

No , no one else replied. They are looking good this morning. I should have lowered them off their pedestal. I had just put them back on before I left. My son was home and he could have handled the situation for me but I told him the plants were fine no need to even water. Boy did I make a poor judgement call. I had been moving them around, watering, talking too, the whole 9 yards. Then I up and abandon for 48 hours. They did t line that
I watched a video where a guy topped his plant after 4th node and then cut all vegetation below that node. He had one set of alternating fan leaves on his plant and that was all. That plant exploded . I wonder if that would work here.

This plant is acting like an auto, not a photo period and that upsets me a bit

She’s still not flowering. Looks like a photo period to me.

a lot can happen in 48 hours, as you could tell. Then again, when your looking at the entire 3 month plants life, two days isn’t really that long of a time. Don’t beat your self up, you will get past this.

doing that technique can be done, but it’s not recommended at your plants age in life. Better to get it early for that. What you can do it, top the plant where it’s at (how many nodes is that 4 you said?

for a quad line technique you grow past what ever node your looking for. Cut all the nodes off below, except for the top two. Then train the branches out. What I do, is grow past the fifth internode, top above the fifth. Cut the bottom two internodes off and leave three internodes one tact. I create the “quad line” technique but leave the third node on. Once I lollipop the plants after the initial stretch of flower. If that bottom internode hasn’t made it to the top canopy I cut them off. Sometimes they push their way up to the top, sometimes they don’t.

Yeah I just visited the web site and it says photo period. They now have autos but when I bought they did not . I have to get tomato plants out of my head because that’s what I’m judging on and that’s obviously not a good thing to judge bye. I’ll treat her as if she’s photo and hope that’s the case......
as I asses this grow in action, I believe I may have gone with too much super soil for it takes my pots forevermore to dry out thus leading me to over water ..... this is a tougher balance than before

 

[Backlipslide]

You should always go by weight of the pot for when to water again.

the top might look dry, but underneath it could still be quite wet. Lift the pot after a freshwatering. Use that how to determine when there is no more moisture in that soil.

I am thinking light burn from were it is on leaves on both plants.

 

[Ghostwriter31]

Yep that’s what it was, I knew it the minute I opened the tent but wanted to throw here to see if I got anything different. If it is or was my soil? I would have been finding another medium. I took much care in making sure I had the right soil to last 90 plus days without loosing the valuable NPK as well as keeping soil alive. I may run out of nitrogen but don’t know when because I still smell cow shit every time I open tent . I’m A OK with that . Anyhoo, the Phlizon 2000 watt LED Cree Cobb light is not a joke! Very powerful little thing , you must get the height right or this happens. Overwatering can cause potassium deficiency and I looked into it though I knew it wasn’t . I also knew it wasn’t a nitrogen deficiency either. I was hoping someone else would post a picture and they did. Same results with varying color

 

[Ghostwriter31]

I am going to buy a new veg tent just to pop these new beans I got today

Artizen Seed Shoo rocks. Got a free 10 pack because they didn’t have one strain I ordered.

 

[Backlipslide]

There we go, your hunch was confirmed.

 

[Ghostwriter31]

I took a few pictures outside today . I think they are doing ok
Each plant is under its own light . Two 2000 watt Cree Cobb LED. One Wills the other Phlizon

 

[Ghostwriter31]

I went shopping today. Picked up a 3 by 3 by 72 inch tent , exhaust with carbon filter, timer, pots, soil , super soil for way under 300. Already have the light . Cleaned up room so tent will go opposite my 4 by 4. Time to do this right. I have until end of March latest to clean and pack everything away until my next spot. I’ve lived in this house for 20 years. I will be sad to see it go or me go... but not for long. It’s time to ramble on. God love Led Zepplin.

 

[Backlipslide]

Right on man! Great buy!!

 

[Ghostwriter31]

Right on man! Great buy!!

lol , I’m stoked over the space I have in the room. My next deal is a next level light . My Cree Cobb LED have the strength but I’m not sure it’s too much. I like the electric sky and a few other USA very expensive ones but this seems to be where the high yield era come in

Day 27
Had some humidity issues. Could not get the tent above 35%. I added a floor humidifier and have been able to stabilize it to around 52%
