Thanks for the reply. The lights are 36-40 inches from the canopy. I grow in coco in 3 gal pots. Large pots don’t fit my style of growing. I plan to have 8 plants in this space to flower. First time growing in tents.This is Light burn. How far from the plants is your light? It's to close. You need to pick the 4 best plants and replant them into very large pots. Compost the rest. Let the 4 plants fill your tent.
What ever works for you bud. I'm seeing light burn so you may want to turn the light down some.Thanks for the reply. The lights are 36-40 inches from the canopy. I grow in coco in 3 gal pots.

Hey bud. Save this link for reference later. Check it out and see what you think I use this link when watching my own grows.Right now im at 21,000 lux averaged throughout the tent. When i dim my light it puts me at about 15 and the plants start to stretch. Also leaves at the bottom of some plants and leaves in shadows are affected the same. That is what was making me wonder if it was light burn or not. Really appreciate the response. I will play around with the dimmer some more.
Hey @Ponky thanks for taking the time man. I have been pretty consistent with ph going in. I have gotten out of the habit of checking ph of runoff in coco, but i have a bluelab soil ph meter so i went and checked them all. 6.1-6.4 medium ph throughout the tent. I know some are on the “high” side but they are still in range so i wouldn't expect this. Just confused.Suspecting PH drift.
Thanks dude ill save that for future reference.Hey bud. Save this link for reference later. Check it out and see what you think I use this link when watching my own grows.

Wouldn’t u think jacks and tap water would provide enough iron? My tap water is fairly soft at 175 ppm but i would think this would be plenty? I guess my thought would be if it was iron then why? When enough is being supplied? My root zone temps are 71? Idk ive never had to deal with this before so as u know it can be frustrating. Not trying to argue or anything I’m just stumped and trying to make sense of it all.Ok. I suspect Iron might not be sufficient.
100 agree bigger potsHey, @NorthernMitten.
Half gallong pots should be exchanged by now for larger ones. The roots seem to be hitting the walls of the pot, and then your plant is having to go through some stress and send roots back inwards to find more nutrients in the soil. They are losing surface area pressed up against the planstic pot.
Increasing the pot size will help the plants adjust to the new light and environment you've placed them in.
3 gallons should be too big or cause you problems maneuvering in your tent.
Your feeds seem high to me, but if the plants can handle it then the strain is a heavier feeder so that should be okay. One way to make sure wether or not you are under or overfed, is to feel the brown parts on the edges of your leaves. If they are crunchy and brittle, then you most likely have over fed, but if they brown dead edges are soft and maleable, then most likely you can pot them up to a larger pot and the issue should resolve.
Maybe turn back the lights until they green up again, because the interveinal chlorosis (yellowing between the green veins) in the leaves is giving us mixed messages.
If this were happeneing to me and I was using .5gal pots, I would size them up, give the plants more room for the roots to search through the soil, and increase humidity slightly which can be as simple and dimming the lights until they green up after the transplating.
Don't be too frustrated here, the issue should resolve with a larger pot with not much else being changed.
You want as much surface area for the roots to pull nutrients from, and what you are seeing is just the roots hitting the sides of the pots and the plant being a bit stressed, not because it doesnt have nutrients in the soil, but because the newest roots are cramed up against the plastic pot and do not have access to the nutrients you are giving them.
New growth pulls from new roots, you can think of it like that. Give those new roots some space.
You are doing everything right, but your pots are just too small for the plants needs. Very hard to keep plants luscious and green in such a small pot.
The new growth you have that is green, shows that the roots have probably turned back in and are again having some access to the nutrients in the soil. It's entirely possible the plant starts to get a bit better, but the quickest way to remedy this is to transplant to larger pots.
Same plants and pots as the other pic?I ddn’t have any of these issues in any of my other grows, so i really am just trying to figure things out.
