I hear ya man, I'm getting some perspective now at least, I know to try something different next time... the more you know, right?!?
i would step up the strength some moreI hear ya man, I'm getting some perspective now at least, I know to try something different next time... the more you know, right?!?
I have the strength at half what the schedule says, So I don't know if I'm too hot, too cold, or what, I know that things are looking worse after I flushed and have been going down hill increasingly fast. That one leaf I was watching to see what would happen with it, well, it fell off. Damn. At least at the end of all this I'll know how not to do it next time! Trail and error, I'd still love to know if I'm deficient or burnt, for sure that is. All I've got is some speculation up to this point.
I could have as little as 4 or as many as 8 weeks left for these buds to ripen, I've rounded second and I'm coming right up on third fast, I'll be in the home stretch in no time. So that's how you'd finish it out Moash? Go ahead and load her up? If that's the case then I'm going to feed at the next watering, and do two in a row, especially since the last was so weak, maybe that's what's not being taken into consideration, maybe I'm outside the norm here because most people have 3-4 foot plants at this point and mine is almost 7 feet tall? You were right about them starting to fatten real soon, that's exactly what I'm seeing, they are starting to look like thai sticks more and more everyday
thats the way i would finish any plant....give it what it wants until its time to flushI could have as little as 4 or as many as 8 weeks left for these buds to ripen, I've rounded second and I'm coming right up on third fast, I'll be in the home stretch in no time.

How do you feel about my feed/feed/water suggestion? She's like a little new born crying, but who the hell knows what for?
Edit: Other people in the FF Official thread think I'm burnt,.... either I have some sort of dark, top secret, weed virus, or people aren't actually looking at what I'm doing with this plant. Which is it Ahhhh!!!
Either tonight or tomorrow morning when I get home and get this suit and tie off I will get some good close-ups, actually, make that tomorrow morning so I can get a few shots under normal light, that HPS f's up any chance at getting a picture with decent color. Tomorrow morning makes the end of the first day of week 8 of flower.... I wish I had some way of testing the dirt to see if it's week or strong, I'd love to know for sure if it's over or under feeding... I can't still be locked out right now, it's been flushed and so lightly fed it can't be nute lockout at this point, could it?
it should not be locked anymore at all,unless ur mixing uneeded stuff in the nutrients
I think it sounds good, so I guess the only thing left to do is feed med-heavy now to see if the plant uses the nutes, hereby fixing the entire issue (but of coarse at this point it's not going to turn this plants leaves totally around), or... make it 100% worse if one of the other people are right and put even more nutes in the plant and lock it out worse... lol
I'd bet money I have that one too!
My temps are a high of 78-79 and a lows of 71-72 degrees Fahrenheit, the humidity sits at between 55-59% higher when the lights are on... I am currently sucking air through a CAN-66 filter with a 170cfm 4 inch blower and venting it outside the tent through my sealed light hood so to answer your question, I do not have any co2 system implemented into the tent yet, maybe with a chiller and a few iceboxes that will be a option one day. Do those numbers help you help me at all?
Now your asking a good question, I have purposefully created a area of negative pressure inside my tent to help channel any smelly air through the can filter and out the side of the tents vent, it's working great to keep smell under control but this is hurting my plants you think? I'm surprised you say this without even knowing I was doing this, it's not extreme negative pressure but enough to keep the sides of the tent pulled in slightly. The walls aren't made of anything toxic, (or shouldn't be anyway) this is a DR100 and I've never read anything about these tents being toxic
if the fan has a big draw, with a lot of pull, that would be my guess.
I vegged 4 weeks from germination, I have only made small tweaks that have improved my temps by a few degrees over the coarse of the grow. Nothing major, I don't know what the issue is, but I'm telling you, I never went over 1/2 the feeding schedule the entire grow, I've been feeding light since I flushed but the fan leaves are all whithering up to nothing, I just hope I don't see my buds start to get ugly, that would really hurt me!first, I really doubt the tent is toxic. Sun Huts had that problem a few years ago, but I would believe that is no longer an issue with any real tent.
If you gave a good flushing, with PH adjusted water and the environment is good, you should see an improvement (in 2-3 days), almost universally. (minus under feeding, and thats pretty god damn rare, who under feeds?) and you have not seen any improvements I would start feeding again, with half strength.
The negative pressure issue is real, the question is; is that whats causing this plant issue. Negative atmospheric pressure issue would cause the stomas to gradually get worse since the plants stomas are going to gradually close, they don't all shut at once. Maybe get a voltage regulator and slow down the pull from your fan to a little less and see if they improve but don't forget your security concerns those are real too.
How long did you veg for? (Im looking for the real start date of the issue), and did you do any fan upgrades, or room upgrades (more air tight) in between?
good luck =)
p.s. if I got this shit right, negative atmospheric pressure, from a help me post on the internet, I should get some kind of fucking award huh? Lol
Not yet because Moash made a good point when he stated that this would've started long ago if presure was the issue, that's been the same the entire time and no issue popped up until later in the plants life. I have fresh cooled AC air blowing in and my 170cfm fan sucking out sir through a CAN2600 filter going through a 180 degree turn, it's not making that much negative pressure, plus like you said, security is in play here too, and right now I'm sucking all the stinky away quite nicely.
