I'll be sure to do that when I have oil again. I only managed to save a few spoonfuls of this stuff.

That's a good thing about using refined coconut oil- solid at room temp, so no spillage.
Although, I still manage to make a mess with it when it warms up a little....

This time I used grapeseed.
I wonder what avocado oil does? Was gonna try that but I'm sure it's Uber expensive since we're no longer importing from Mexico.
Stupid cartel.

Thanks Vg! I had heard it mentioned in passing on another platform about how someone had experienced leaf damage from feeding when dry. I didn’t think much of it until reading your post and had a light bulb moment!Somewhere along the road of cannabis cultivation I seem to have convinced myself that cannabis has its own set of rules. While this may be true for NPK ratios and lighting duration ,it doesn't mean that some of the general plant rules fly out the door.
One that I'd like to touch on is feeding a very dried out plant that's in flower.
At one time or another most of us have come across our plant being bone dry and drooping.
I would often panic a bit upon seeing their state and promptly feed the plant at it's normal strength. Soon after I get burned tips and lockout issues...loose a bunch of leaves.
For most plants kept inside the proper way to go about feeding a bone-dry plant is to wet the soil with plain water or a very diluted feed for at least a half hour and then feed at normal strength to run off. This should protect the roots from burning.
I know some of you are well seasoned growers and already know this. However,It's something that I don't see talked about very often and thought it good to mention it anyway.
That is all.....
Of course when you see your plants bone dry you rush to give them a feeding, I know I have definitely done that. Never again! Bit of water then a feeding, thanks again Vg!

I've been guilty of this so many times.
I've definitely noticed an improvement when it does happen.
I now like to feed my plants a bit lighter and more frequent through flower so this issue doesn't really come up much anymore.
I am in Pro Mix so drainage isn't an issue.
Glad to help when I can.

I murdered the GG4. No pics.
I wasn't feeling great having to trim a plant while my back is crappy. I wasn't in the best of moods.
She didn't give me much. What she did give was small from her being topped constantly for about two years.
I used my spin trimmer and most got chopped up and fell through. I'll be making kief with that. Not a biggie.
I did have to turn down the new light just a tad. I noticed that the Blueberry was looking a bit too light up top.
Peppermint Kush looks about the same...maybe a tad light as well?
They really grew a lot the past week.
Looking good.

Thanks Hon.Looking good from this angle as well.
May need to give the Blueberry a P&K boost. Saw some blotchy leaves on her. Just a few but we know how quickly they can make a turn for the worse.
I'll sleep on that decision. Can't see that a little Terpinator would hurt things.
Good to see you back, DAB.Those ladies are looking as fine as ever, VG! Looks like I have returned for the exciting part. Keep up the good work, and I hope your back smartens up soon!!
Hope you've been well.
My back isn't back to normal yet but it's a lot better than it was a few days ago. Just taking it easy for now so I don't reinjure it.

Hope I can manage to stay injury free for a little bit. Trimming and transplanting isn't helping me.
Need to get that stuff done no matter what.
I've farmed out the heavier chores, the BF is on bucket duty until further notice.
Morning, VG and Happy Women's Day!
You grow some beautiful plants. I hope the Blueberries I grow this summer look as great as yours does.
Congrats on the GG takedown and I hope your back continues to feel better.

Hey y'all.
I blew it. Thought I'd switch to a new light without a hiccup.
Burned em...
Praying leaves that bleached and then turned brittle. Scorch marks under the brightest part of the light. That's light burn if I'm not misdiagnosing.
I suck...oh well..

Back is trashed HG.
That's why I haven't been on much. It puts me in a reclusive mood. Along with that pain comes headaches. I've just about depleted my Forum stash so I can't really take too much of it.
I'm feeling slightly better today. I have a ton that I want to do but I'm probably going to pass on. I need a few more days of healing and immobilization to keep from reinjuring it whenever I bend over.
Hope you had a great Women's Day.

Not having a working lux meter makes it tricky. I have a great par map for this light but didn't have one for the last one.
It was a guessing game in the end.
These plants are also pretty close to the light. Proximity changed fast through stretch. Lol
Virgin, Virgin....you "blew" it? That's a joke, right? THIS is blowing it? My god, if that's how it is I blow it on every plant! I think you're overstating the level of the error a bit, no? My god, a few burns spots. So you change the light. It's new. First grow. And that's your only hiccup? Are you insane?Hey y'all.

VG these plants still look amazing and you didn't blow it in the least. You learned about the new light, that's all.
Here's another theory: I just looked close at all your pics. I don't see any burning or singe-ing on the tips of your pistils. Your prayer angle on your fan leaves is spectacular. It doesn't at all look like too much light. I assume you had already changed it when you took these pics? What I'm suggesting is that you are seeing (***MAYBE***) something NOT light burn. Something else. If it were me I'd check your responses - wonder if I'm the only one who feels this way.
Regardless, the plants are insanely gorgeous. I can't wait til I'm running on your standards and I think this is blowing it. Lmao.

So far,yes. It's been going too well..
I kinda expected this.
Could be. I often ask myself the same question. There is a theory that you wouldn't know if you're insane. I'm in the constant internal battle...so....50/50 chance.
The cola on the Peppermint Kush that had damage is right next to the Blueberry cola that has damage. While I'm not 100% that light burn is what's going on, it seems like the case.
I was due to leach the soil since I'm in Pro Mix with MC. It does build up after awhile. I can also add a little Terpinator. It won't hurt and could only help at the correct dosage.
If it's a def it's P or K def,there is usually a yellow surrounding the damaged section. This also makes me think light burn.
I'm super anal about my plants. One of my many downfalls.
I'd like to have a few harvests without anything major happening but maybe that's asking too much. We use high light and strong nutes. Lots of issues can pop up.
Sometimes I feel like I haven't grown much as a cultivator. Other times I feel like I'm doing ok..
FTFY
Most would kill for this to be their major happening. [Insert something about anal.]
[Insert something about anal again.]
You can look back on earlier grows and answer that question without having to feel.
