Can anybody tell what this "skinny" curling is a symtpom of please?

[mattman089]

@ wk 6 flower. A very small amount of tops are doing this.. Maybe 5-10%.. Curlibg under on the sides and over on the fronts.

All affected are at middle to lower part of plant. My other girl is not experiencing this.

TIA

Slightly burnt, curling tips is an indication of an overfeed situation.

Thanks for the reply!

Kinda thought the same. Just hit her with a gallon of RO with florakleen to flush..

Hoping that helps get the build up flushed out. Might do another florakleen flush in a few days before vacation.

Dammit lol. I planned on giving her a first macro dose of Cha ching with some other flower nutes and some kelp/microbes.. Being wk 6 though, 2 weeks h20 only will probably be beneficial.

The flowers look fine, let some of the built up nutes burn off.... Dumping ferts on the rootball will not really increase yield.
In many cases, it will actually reduce growth.
Don't panic if the symptoms get worse, you may just be seeing the beginning stages. Ride it out...

Good stuff thanks again..

So really @ no nutes? Not even small/macro doses?

Yeah don't fall for all the bloom booster BS, just keep the plant as healthy as possible through the whole cycle and yields and quality will follow.

Have you scoped the trichomes? Cut nutes too soon and watch for deficiency right at the end. Meaning less than prime final product. Ease off the nitrogen for sure.

I have not really scoped the trichs yet as no hairs have browned. I feel like she has a ways to go.

I'm def gonna cut back nutes for the next 2 weeks and hope she bounces back. Buds are looking good but not as far along as ky MK Uktra that's the same age.

She was stretching like crazy after the flip with some yellowing so I gave her a little extra N.. Hoping florakleen and 2 weeks of regular water straighten her out with minimal decrease in harvest/quality.

Could be ur leds. Led thend to be hotter than some people think. How's your ventilation. Could be a combination of high nutes and heat.

Cut nutes give the ladies a water only and raise the lights about 3" and you should be golden to go back feeding

What's your set up

What your environment

Don’t start straight water with all white pistils.

I was planning on doing PH water only for about 2 weeks to flush any build up then slowly add fert after the 2 weeks.

Is that a bad idea? What would you recommend?

2k led + 1k led but off been shutting the 1k down as of late

77 deg 52 rh day
70 deg 60 rh night with good ventilation

I would recommend feeding your plants a 30% weaker solution than what you were giving them and flush out the built up with that solution.

Roger that. I think it was mostly N after her initial stretch so I supped a little too much grow nute apparently.

Continuing feed as you mentioned probably won't hurt anything being that I haven't been giving her amy more N.

Gracias amigo

yeah flushing with water is like going from one extreme to another, plants just want to have a plate with the right amount of food for them. That being said, if there is salt built up (reading your run-off would tell you) you can get away with watering without run-off last week but I don't call that flushing, more like scrapping the plate.
