Totally digging my AC Controller 69 Pro. Being able to set VPD is awesome.

Hmmmm. Might be getting a new controller.... i hate trying to get the vpd right with my controller 67.

Calling @Aqua Man and our other pros, any idea what causes this? Its on my two Sour Diesel clones. Wedding Cake in the same room same soil looks fine. Environment is dialed in and watering 5% every couple days.

That looks to me like leaf varigation bro so nothing to worry about..see what aqua says if he calls in..

 

[GNick55]

not leaf variation.,
could be from a couple things.. firstly i see some 3 fingered leafs?
i do see the odd leaf tacoed..
pests?
heat stress?
light stress?
overfeeding?
5% watering? what’s that? run off?

 

[Madmax]

Both the clones have it so that’s what I reckon it is

varigation.

Good call out Nick.
No pests
Heat varies between 72 lights out up to 83 on.
PPFD is 400-500 on these
I run Gaia Green amended in soil. I’ve never had an issue with over feeding, but perhaps SD is a low feeder?
5% watering - I run the buildasoil way for watering for the most part. I will water 5% of the total container volume, let sit and come back with another 5% depending on needs.
My humidity has been low. I just got a new humidifier and its now 40-50%.

I did trim these back two weeks ago to keep the size down.

 

[GNick55]

ok just the 3 fingered leaves and some are twisty, a couple are taco..
that’s stress..
again that’s not leaf variation on those leaves with lighter spots.. i can’t say for sure what is causing this

 

[Nesta028]

It could definitely be stress induced from when I trimmed them back. Thanks for the insight Nick. I will keep an eye on them. This is a first for me. My wedding cake survived the trim no problem.

variegation..not variation..

whoops..

fkin lovin it Nesta and I don't even work at McDs. It is that SFV I'm watchin the closest though. Fan of them all but that OG has my eye. As for the leaves discoloring, everyone would laugh if gave my opinion hah so best to know when to just listen. I do however not think it is from you trimming. Hey bro how do you keep your PH in line? Do you have a water agitator pr a stone or nada?

 

[Nesta028]

Your opinion always welcome here @PerfecTrader! Im pumped for the SFV also! Keep an eye on that MB15. Thats SFV OG x Chemdog. Im genuinely excited for all 4 strains. As far as PH, my tap is right around 7 and I let it sit for a day to dechlorinate. Other than that, I don’t really mess with PH. Perhaps I should. If I had to guess it would be a tad high, but shouldn’t be low.

Yeah I don't think the stress that is showing is from trimming either. Ph is a good place to start

When the water is sitting for a day is it being aerated?

 

[Nesta028]

No its just in a 5 gal bucket. I have used this method on all my other strains and not had this issue before appear though.

thanks brosef and oO I didn't know what MB15 was. I grew Chem Cookies from Mamiko Seeds my 1st grow so am a fan fosho. Ahh so you just dechlor the water and dump into bucket and feed the blumats? About how often do you have to change the water would you say?

The purple petioles on the leaves and the way they are curling down are signs of phosphorus deficiency. Phosphorus is mobile though, when those leave symptoms show up from a true need for it, deficiencies tend to start lower on the plant. Ime, when I have a plant start acting like that at her top it’s because she’s getting too much light for her. You might try backing it down for her if it’s possible and see if she doesn’t bounce back. Sometimes after a good trim, a lot of leaves that were shaded are now getting blasted and doing lots of heavy lifting. The plant can get a little pissy from it, especially if she’s already a bit sensitive.

Even if that’s not the culprit, reducing your light intensity a bit usually helps ones that are struggling improve. It’s like the taking two Tylenol and getting a good nights rest of growing weed. If it’s only affecting that strain, I would be looking at things like light sensitivity or pH sensitivity, as suggested. Good luck getting her sorted. Cheers

So I havent set up my blumats in the veg room yet, but plan to soon. I dont ever change the water out so to speak in my flower set up. I simply add more water when it gets half empty or so.

Solid advice. Thank you
