YesThe leaves beneath the canopy are fine?
Athena rep has me at 3.3ec3.3 EC is high and will lock out nutrients over time. On the bottom leaves they look like they are starting to lock out potassium.
So, raise my ph?Regardless of ec at 3.3 at that pH K is not limiting. It could forced higher, 6.5.
Zill.
Doesn’t mean they ain’t, lolOh shit trixie and zill are on the same post @growsince79 @Ganjadad @freezeland2 I guess they aren't the same person after all...
It just might be a matter of dimming the lights a touch, or raising them.
I ran Athena Pro line for about 2 years and I could never get the EC into that range without nutrient burn. I could only get to 2.4 or 2.5 before the plants would start burning up with CO2 but I ran the humidity lower. There are people that can do it for some reason. I am aware that higher Humidity is going to play a part in the plant being able to deal with the salt stress that an EC of 3.3 will create. That is part of what makes the EC of 3.3 possible. It is was my grow I would do as previously suggested and lower the lights first thing. I would drop them down to about 40 to 50 percent ASAP. Secondly, if you are going to do as Athena recommended. Please be sure to confirm with the rep the setting for a room with our without CO2 that is going to be a large part of the 3.3 equation working out. Athena products sone great looking buds and the volume it good. Only thing I can say about Athena is 3 things.Plants are getting ready to hit week 3 and are wrinkled.
Athena pro nutrients at 3.3ppm with 5.9 - 6.0 ph. Fed 4 x per day. Room temp 81 degrees, leaf temp 79 degrees, and room humidity 68%. Par is 700 (80%). Can’t figure out what is going on. Maybe too much light? @Aqua Man I need your help!!!View attachment 1317963
I thought it was light stress too. I do use co2 at 1500 ppm’s.Looks like too much light. 800 PPFD seems extreme. I usually bump it up to 800 PPFD around week 4-6 of flower.
I would also check your RH. That seems really high for no CO2.
FlowerSo...is this veg or flower?
What light did you have before led? What was the par before it?
Is it coco?
Ph isn't off for coco.. you can try a slightly higher I prefer mine 5.8-6.2 in coco.
Humidity is a little high but idk if VPD would make the leaves look like that.

#1. Their veg and bloom component are not intended for small home grows. That shit is very hydro scope. Keep it in a dark very dry place.
#2. They run the calcium high but it messes with the P and you can get calcium def the first 2 to 3 weeks of flower when demand is at a peak.
#3. I noticed ever single plant came out smelling darn near the same with the stuff. Botanicare Pro Blend will do this as well.
If you see some rust spots on the fan leaves start showing up about week 2 of flower on the top 20 percent of the plant that is the Calcium def I was referring to. If is just an hand full of leaves just run with it and make sure the def does not get worse. Otherwise get some grow more no N cal mag and add that to the Athena plant. They can take up to 10 mils per gallon no problem.
