Hey guys how are you?

I haven't had any problems lately so everything was pretty much on autopilot.

But today I was looking at them and noticed some kind of browning on the leaves.

@Wastei what do you think?

As always any help and advice is very appreciated and thanks in advance.

It developed over the last 2 days. That's when I saw them last time and they were fine. But I topped up the reservoir.

They are running on canna aqua bloom for 1 week now. The only difference I made when I topped up 2 days ago compared to 1 week ago is I accidentally added not 3ppm NaOCl but 4ppm. Everything else is identical.

Take your lenses off your cobs!

Like you said somewhere your seeing worse signs in the middle area of your crop.
Lenses are reducing your light spread

Edit, your compounding the problem by angling your outer cobs inward creating hot spots .

I think the root zone is in fact a bit cooler as the rest because the canopy is pretty dense and opaque from above.

Water rez temp is always about 19°C and cooler.

Could this really be enough for microbial infestations of the root zone?

No that's really good temp. I've seen root rot with chillers but I've run my water temps at 25C without any problems with oxidizer (bleach).

Keep us updated about increased frequency of water. Cheers!

Hey guys! how yall doing?

@Wastei Sorry for the delay.

I was not very active the last few weeks as I was still busy fixing my electronics and coding. But I got to harvest and am pretty sure by now that I just VPDed them too hard (far too hot and dry because I thought that my PAR readings were higher than they actually were... fuck me). That is what I think caused the spots during late flower.

Now that I have time to fix my 100 other problem children I thought I could come back for another thanks as I have completed my last run with all your help.

They are drying for about 6 days now. I think I had too much airflow (and also too low humidity but I was too afraid to limit air filtration by humidity as scent and mold are no things I want to deal with), so the outside is already crispy with a tiny residual amount of moisture in the core of the bud but the larger buds still have stems that dont snap.

So should I already jar them or wait until all my stems snap? I decreased airflow in the meantime.

P.S. Pictures are coming once they are packed in jars.

@Wastei @Kassiopeija do you put them in jars when they are crispy outside or do you wait until all stems snap?

I dry at low temps preferably 15C/59F and wait til the stems snap. You're better of getting the drying process right. The rest is just storage IMO. Last run I let my buds hang in the dry tents for months at about 65F and 55% humidity. It was still just as manageable and not to dry when I put everything into storage.

Many people loose taste and flavor from jaring to early.

If the outside is crispy and the inside is still moist you can put them into a paper bag to help distribute the moisture and help them dry evenly.
