Good day to you all!
This is my first post on this forum, I think, but for a long time I have been using this site as I found it a great source of good information.
Have been growing for several years and first time I am experiencing this kind of a problem.
I have an autoflower plant growing in my closet, think different, now in day 17 from poping out from ground.
The problem I am getting for the last 4 days is that I get top leaves wilting at the end of a day cycle. For the first 16 hours the plant looks great and happy, and for the last 2 like it gets tired. Then after 6 hours of sleep it comes back to life all happy and looking great for the next 16 hours with the same scenario for the last 2 hours. Its like that for the past 4 days.
Here are the pics.. first one how it looks for the first 16 hours, and second one when she says "I had enough for today"
I do push her a little bit to the limit (or maybe over) with the light intensity and higher temps to get her transpiration rates higher.. as I want her as bigger as soon as possible Do I need to stop with that practice She does look ok the next morning and for the whole day, well.. almost whole day. Its like she gets to a point where she transpire more then she can take from the roots... and turgor starts dropping. Have no problem with soil moisture... well she wouldn't bounce back immediately in the morning and again look great.
After this 16 hours when I find her wilted I am dimming the light a bit for the last 2 hours and lowering temp back to 25C just to reduce possibility of light burn from QB LED.
What I did 4 days ago was topping her, actually fimming after 5th node and she took it well and haven't slowed down at all.. maybe half day, but from that day she gets "tired" after 16 hours of hard work Any advices?
