How big of container- do you water to runoff ? Is that an auto? Doesn’t look like 5 week flower photoperiod- 5 weeks from sprout I totally believe - different needsFirst time grower here and I've run into something that's left me with questions.
My gsc clone has started to develop yellow or burnt tips over the last couple weeks View attachment 1238384
There is a few areas doing this but all are near the bottom of the plant so I've been thinking it's a nute burn and not a light burn because the top all looks healthy for the most part View attachment 1238385
But a few days ago I noticed a fan leaf near the bottom doing a weird sag I haven't seen before. Last night that leaf looked like this View attachment 1238386
She just entered the 5th week of flower and is potted in foxfarm Happy frog. I water about 17 oz distilled water every 3-4 days using sensi bloom a&b 4 ml/L every other watering.
Like I said I'm a first time grower so I'm at a loss, the tips are telling me nute burn but the yellowing is making me think deficiency any ideas?
The container is 9.4 inch pot so roughly 3 gallons I believe.How big of container- do you water to runoff ? Is that an auto? Doesn’t look like 5 week flower photoperiod- 5 weeks from sprout I totally believe - different needs
I've been wondering about that myself,Almost looks like you need more light. What are u lighting with?
What would you say the proper spectrum is? I've been reading a bit and I found some info stating that white spectrum lights are really good because they have the reds and blues and such but also green spectrum which penetrates deeper into the canopy so I was hoping I would be alright with these. Am I wrong in thinking this or maybe misunderstanding?first off you need the proper light spectrum..
if you feel like you’ll become a grower than buy high quality lights..
Dang I've had the lights atleast 16" from the top canopy the entire time, good to know hahaDefinitely needs more intense light. You could put those shop lights within inches of the buds probably. How soon after getting the clone did you flip to flower?
Awesome thank you for the info that actually clears a lot up for me. I was supplying nutes at the manufacturers' recommendations like you said but have recently reduced the amount and will continue to adjust it.I'm betting the clone didn't have a super robust root system going before starting to flower. This, combined with low light levels, is why your buds are small and airy. As for the yellowing and tip burn, you aren't supplying the DLI to use nutrients at an optimal rate, but you are probably feeding them according to manufacturers' recommendations which are optimal numbers. Overfed and underlit, final answer.
yes that is mostly your issue especially not giving the clone time to adjust and grow roots before flipping., those fan leaves will probably continue to get worse so leave them all on until they are “useless”Awesome thank you for the info that actually clears a lot up for me.

Due to my budget I'm sorta stuck with the light situation for now but atleast I know
mmmm, may help some, but just wait to use it next grow..I'm potentially looking in to getting a new light system for my future grows if I can swing it, if I were to install it now would it help these buds or is it probably too late at this point?
Download the Photone app and you can get a decent estimated DLI or ppfd of your light.Dang I've had the lights atleast 16" from the top canopy the entire time, good to know haha
And I flipped it to flower 2 days after getting and transplanting the clone. Seems foolish to me now but I didn't have a light timer at the time and it worked the easiest for my work schedule
