Greetings,
Everything seemed to be going alright with my Wonka Bars bagseed grow. That is, until I upgraded from a blurple light to a Mars Hydro TSW 2000 last Thursday (12-3-2020). At first, I thought the brighter light was simply showing me preexisting leaf problems I wasn't aware of. Then, I noticed the discolorations seemed to be getting worse. I thought the culprit was light burn, especially since I had the Mars light set to 100% brightness at 12 in / 30.48 cm initially. I soon dialed it back. A few days went by, and the issue progressed even further. I cranked it down even more yet. But, now I've turned the Mars light down so much, I am starting to wonder if it's something else. I hope I am simply witnessing the "chlorophyll dump" that happens a few weeks before harvest. But, I fear something worse is going on. For my strain, the flower time is supposed to take 2-4 more weeks.
Someone I know suggested I might need to increase my nutrients now that I have a more powerful light. But, I am afraid I might over-do it.
I greatly appreciate any advice you guys might be able to provide. This is my first Photoperiod plant.
(Additional Information)
Soil: Organic PROMIX, 1/3 perlite to 2/3 soil ratio
Feeding Regimen
I give about .4 gal / 1.5L every 2 days. Any less often, it wilts. Any extra water, it droops. Hopefully my roots are OK.
I start with this:
6 Teaspoons FoxFarm Big Bloom
1/5 Teaspoon Molasses
pH adjust to 6.0-6.5
Then I alternate to:
2-3 Teaspoons FoxFarm Tiger Bloom
pH adjust to 6.0-6.5
Photographs:
Flower, Week 6, Day 2
Plant Height: 26 in / 66cm
