Burning off trichomes and super curious....

jamesmessenger1 · Dec 10, 2023

Hey guys...

So i had a problem with leaf burn, but just a tad...

So i raised my 240w viparspectra p2500 to like 22 inches, and turned it down to 50% and currently on day 30 of flower...

STILL seems like trichomes are getting burned off/leaves slightly burning!!

Is there ANYTHING else other than light burn that can cause this? Temperature? RH?

Move the light higher. 30" above the plant about 60% should be ok.
I'd like to see pictures of the plant if you can.

How do you see your the trichomes burned away, may share a pic of it?
I'm also in day 30 of flower and don't want to hurt my trichomes!
My lights are now on 100%, 14" away from the big canopy, the others are 24", max. height I can go with my setup. Probably have to go on 75%/50% on late flower.
Too low RH isn't that good using led.

You must have very strong lights I'm at 16 inches at 100%

741 ppfd

My leaves are fairly flat seems like good light to me.

I guess those bigger lights a lot more powerful.

Would.love to see a picture, pictures always help a lot.

Yeah if i went to 100% itd be like 1100 PAR....

But like others have said on here...

Dont go just by PAR or DLI because im here to tell you that if you do, youll end up burning your buds!

Each strain has different needs, and as it so happens, this one needs 4wd!

Didnt mean to say 4wd lol....this one needs way less intensity!

As you can see in these photos, it LOOKS like leaves are getting burnt!

Nice to see that, mine were burned before so I can't exactly tell if my lights are too near and burn the trichomes.
Yea I think they burned a little but they look sweet!
