Left for Christmas and came back to some serious problems

Try breaking apart one or several of the buds. It looks like boytritus (bud rot) if it is you could be in for a dissapointing New Years. Don't spra the flowers, especially during the last 4 weeks. Water gets into the little parts of the flower and at 75 - 80 degrees F it's a perfect incubator. If you want to increase bud development use co2.

The moisture was a secondary objective, she has really liked the kelp extract foliar feeding throughout this grow. It's a shame none of the first batch of clones I took from it turned out (my first time), and with the RH being so low (along with my lack of knowledge about cloning and watering clones, next time!), after I took the humidity dome off, the next morning they had shriveled so terribly they just wouldn't come back. One had definitely started to root, it had some nice fat ones sticking out the bottom of the rockwool cube.

What I am planning on doing, as I have no seeds of this strain left, is re-vegging her after harvest, taking clones to grow a mother, flowering her and the rest of the clones and then starting a perpetual grow with a harvest every 3 weeks. I am keen on using this strain, as it is quite hardy, stays relatively short, very, very little stretching and is a fast finisher. I have seen many reports on harvests being done at 7 weeks.

This plant is my first (other then the few seedlings that didn't make it and one plant that I can't remember exactly what killed it), and has had a different sort of life. She was vegged for two months as I could not flower her at that time, and finally switched to flower about a month ago. Everything was going so great up till now too. I'm really hoping she picks back up soon. I'm going away again for a day and a bit, but no fan this time and she has plenty of water to last her.

Why would I lie?

Definitely did not overfeed. I have been feeding it the same thing for quite some time now, and she loves every second of it. Also, the distance between the light and plant hasn't changed, I move it up as the plant goes up. The ambient temperature of the closet also hasn't changed. Also, if it was a light burn, why would the buds remain largely unaffected as they have? Another thing to point out is that leaves on the lower sections of the plant have also been affected by this malady, which I can't see happening from a simple light burn. I did burn the plant slightly while it was in it's vegetative state - how the leaves have shriveled this time is in no way similar to how they were affected last time.

Hello mate.

Love the way people jump in after the deal's done....here's a few proper resources which explain simply what your problem is and what to expect.
From Cali Uni agriculture and natural resources dept http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/GARDEN/FRUIT/ENVIRON/windburn.html

Hope this helps put your mind at ease - just bear in mind that it will look worse before it looks better; look, what's happened is far from ideal, but wind burn always looks worse than it is....

Good luck!

Cheers

Before you take advice from anyone on this thread I'd advise you check there post and history. A lot of newbs giving advice and don't know shit but what one persons told them. So be careful everyone and check ppls past post and threads.

That's irrelevant - how many posts someone's made on this site - that is no measure of someone's knowledge, far from it. I've seen people here with thousands of posts under their belt talking utter rubbish.
This issue is pretty straightforward - the op has given enough information to see that everything was fine and the only variable was placing a fan in the space - given the short time the problem took to show itself, the nature of the damage, the op's further info - that one side of the plant is hit worse (the side facing the fan) and it's pretty obvious what the problem was.
Most people understood it was a heat issue on page 1 - then the op gave a little more detail - which is when the crucial detail came out - the oscillating fan.
And you're giving advice right there, aren't you? You seem to be advising people to take advice only from people who have a lot of posts on RIU.org! How does having 3000 posts on this site necessarily convert into horticultural knowledge? It doesn't.

I didn't say anything about how many post they have. The post will show you they have no knowledge and just started growing. Like you your on your first grow so how do you think you can tell somebody What's going on with there plant. You should have the respect not to say anything since you don't know so you don't give ill advice and someone suffer because one person told you something and it worked so it's law to you. Without the experience and the shit happening to you then you don't know and not trying more than one thing how can you say?

looks like it just a bit hot in your room after you watered them. same thing happened to me on thanksgiving because i had to keep my plants closed up without the fan while my family was over. she should be fine. If it doesnt clear up in a few days then i'd start to worry.

Brother - ok, maybe I misunderstood - it seemed like that's what you were saying - I agree with most of the things you've said about people needing to read up and watch and listen - I totally agree with that. Most here were pretty close on the issue - but didn't have enough initial info - just a couple of 'johnny come latelys' jumped in and talked shit....

Peace

I've been around the internet long enough to know to not take anything as gospel, but on the other hand, I also know when something presented to me sounds logical. I don't need these accusatory posts that have nothing to do with the current topic polluting my thread.

With that said, kindly take yourself elsewhere, and don't bother responding to this, thanks.

No way that's a def. Over a 24 hour period that's gotta be environment related.

ya thats what causeed the burn... a oscillating fan...hahahahaha

right

it looks more like the plant dried out.. wilted... and was then watered......just sayin

or the spray you used burnt the leaves...sometimes it takes awhile to show

I sprayed with Pyrethrin spray a week and a half ago and nothing has happened so I don't think it is that

I've always thought that jacmac was a tool, but I think the windburn/heatstroke comment is spot on. He might not be as bad as they say he is.
