First time grower browning curling leaves

[Jsimp342]

Hey everyone just an update I am a day shy of one week into flower (12-12 light cycle) just wanted to post some pics and see what you guys think, look good for one week into flower or does anyone see issues?

- temp fluctuates between 75- close to 90 sometimes, exhaust controller keeps it mainly 75-85 though. Humidity goes from 25 rh right up to 75 rh depending on when fan controller kicks exhaust on.

- ph of water right at 6.5 every water. Been doing about 600 ppm of big grow and also 600 ppm tiger bloom. Doesn’t seem to show signs of burn. Seem to water once every 5 days now that lights aren’t on as much.

Looks good! Tuck those stretchy tops under your net.

Try to keep your temps and RH in check.

Like bend those middle main shoots a square or two to the side?

Yea! So they're even with the others

Ok I wasn’t sure how to keep the big shoots from hitting the lights in a week I thought that would shade other shoots or hurt them bending that far

There's a lot of ways to do things. If you're going through the trouble to use a net try to get your tops and sides to evenly fill it up. The stuff on the bottom is just going to be fluff anyway.

Didn’t want to stretch more that that. We’ll see what it does next couple days

Bend that tall one to the next square and you should be good! Looks great..

Keep on tucking them to keep everything even.

Once your screen is to your liking, flip to 12/12

Looks like your off to a great start!

So I did flip them to 12/12 already

Its fine, I keep tucking into the first 3 weeks of flower.

 

[Jsimp342]

Pretty much what I am planning to feed them weekly for next two weeks

I wasn’t happy with temps crawling upwards to 90 degrees so I changed a couple things… exhaust on low 24-7 and heat plugged into control for heat on at 74 and off at 76, climbs a few degrees higher still but much more controlled. Humidity fluctuates 35-60 mostly around 50 rh..

Sound good for flower for now? Was definitely getting to hot could see some stress.. Into second week of flower now and starting to see white hairs! Hope new controlled environment helps now

Even in flower, if using LEDs i'd try to get my temps in the low 80s at least in early/mid flower.

You're ok for now but if you can lower your RH once flowering picks up in a couple of weeks, you should.

Yeah I can raise temps a bit shouldn’t be a problem. I’ll go on at 78 off at 80 and it’ll raise a bit beyond that.
Rh won’t be a issue at all, running two humidifiers now to get it to 50 lol that will be an easy adjustment when getting into flower more

Nice job man.. just to let u know i push my humidity down to 40 from week 5-7. Then i go to 35 week 7-8. Then 30 from week 8-10. In the last 2 weeks i also raise my light 4 inches so cooler temps and more protection for those trichimes

happy girls now!! Starting to show some serious budding sign now! Thanks again for all the help guys

Looking good man .. Just for future reference, try and buy a scrogg net with SMALLER squares so you can manipulate the branches a whole lot better

Haha yeah I noticed these are a bit big gotta grow through a lot to bend down lol

At this point there’s probably not much more bending branches I can do don’t you think? Most the big ones are under net and buds are growing up past. There’s probably a few longer shoots I can bend down in a couple days after a little more growth but not many

Nooo never mess with the plant in the flowering stage as they can be very unforgiving.. Branch Manipulation only ever in the VEG stage. Other type of manipulation can be done 3/4 days b4 the big chop like lowering temps & humidity/ 48 hours of darkness etc.
