Sup guys,
I posted a few weeks ago with an issue (my leaves were turning yellow). I figured it out was due to light burn. My sf4000 was only 18 or so inches from the top of the plant, which was fine until I bent her over for scrogging. At that point it stunted the plant. Once I figured out it was the light, I raised it to 30-32 inches above the top of the canopy and growth has begun again. However, the new growth since it was bent over and since after the stress from the light burn is much different. The leaves are now all much much lighter green and much smaller. More concerning is I am still seeing yellowing, just not nearly as bad. Does this mean I should raise the light even more? I'm at 32 inches right now which seems excessive. It's only at 80% intensity too (I have it dimmed). I'm growing in organic soil (build a soil 3.0) with about 1 inch of worm casting on top and 2 inches of perlite on top of that. It's in a 3x3 tent, scrogged, at temps between 70-80 and relative humidity around 50-60%. It's just 1 plant in a 30 gal pot. The only thing on my to-do list as of right now is to use some liquid kelp, but I'm not sure if that will remedy this issue. Thanks for any help!
You can see one of the oldest leaves directly in the middle. It's at least 3 times larger than most of the new growth and much darker green. The yellowest leaves in the center are from the light burn when I had the sf4000 only 18 inches or so above the newly bent over/scrogged plant (only about 2 little leaves have fallen off themselves so far).
On the bottom is some of the newest growth from the main shoot. The tips are even yellow.
Another close up, not from the main shoot.
