Help please week 3 flower

What’s up guys I’m a first time grower and I’m running into some things here that I would love some input on. First, I’m confused because some of the pistils on my plants are turning orange. Second, as you can see in some of the pictures the leaving are very thin and clawing. Is that nitrogen toxicity ? Thirdly I couldn’t get any pics right now but I’m pretty sure I have a thrip problem. Tiny thin little bugs are on my leaves all around the room but there’s not a lot. Only a few on each plant as I can see and then I kill them off. They have had a stressed life, through high temps to very low temps. High to low humidity. Lights being too high during veg. Many things were wrong about their environment until I got them into a grow tent. Still not perfect though. Don’t have any ventilation really other than an ac and a hurricane fan. Air moves well in there and it stays between 74-82 and 42-57 rh.

Kind of odd.... the orange hair one, is it getting burnt by the light? They look pretty healthy. Could it have been pollinated?

They are high in N, not toxic yet though.

im honestly not sure if it’s light burn, some other plants have a little bit of the orange as well. And I have also checked the room everywhere for hermies or males and can’t find any

Toss up a pic of your grow?

Like my current grow, i burnt it with my 1100w hps light. There are 8 plants in here. The ones directly under the light, burnt! Deficiencies everywhere but there is light stress as well. Im actually considering adding a small piece of reflective material on the glass inside the hood to help eliminate that hot spot and spread it out more. A bulb-size strip or a little bigger of tin foil with a bunch of holes in it maybe. Or just a straight up mirror the size of the bulb directly under it.

I’ll post some pictures when the light turns on in an hour. I have 4 1500 w led’s for a 10x10 grow space. I have 24 plants lined in rows of 2. They’re straggly things that look nothing like yours Your room still looks like it’s going strong. What week is that?

What I’m thinking is that these burple lights aren’t putting enough light out for these girls. Also I pretty much stripped them naked at the beginning of flower

They are STARVING for more light. Those leds might be enough for a 5x5 or a 4x8.

I’m grabbing a 1000w hps today and gonna put a group of plants under it and see how it does

Careful with the heat they put off.

Yeah I think I’m going to have my ac blowing directly on it

Air cooled hoods are best....

I got a sun system great white hood, it’s air cooled. I’ll post a picture it’s huge haha. Came with a hortilux 1000 w bulb and a 1000w ultragrow eco magnetic ballast. It’s kind of older but the bulb is new !

Thats still a great light compared to whats out there these days. Would need to spend over a grand to get an led that would compete with what that light will do.

yeah this light completely changed how the room is setup. Made me realize I have room for like 30 more plants. And now the plants under the led’s should get more intensity since they’re bundled up. Hopefully this change brings some good results.

Coming back to this I was wondering what light you have ? There could be pre built diffusers that slip right on under the bulb that you could buy for it, that’s what I got for mine and it helps eliminate the hot spot.

I know we’re not supposed to post pics with grow lighting but I don’t have the lens yet to eliminate that hps glare, but just look at the difference in the canopy and nugs within just a week and a half of being under the hps. The leds that are clumped together are also doing a lot better now without a lot more intensity, they’re putting on the frost more than the hps but with the hps the nugs are just blowing up

The hps nuggs will frost, they got bulking to do first. Force your camera flash on, helps a lot. But the 27$ clip on filters off amazon are the best. Glad we got things sorted out.
