These are some leaves I am worried about. DSCF0634.JPG

I know my canopy isn't even but I need to get the lights up higher and put trainwreck on a table. I guess this leaves could be heat stress, what do you think? I have fed lightly, even gave N, light dose.
I think it is weird how much Medicine Man (woman) and WW look alike.

Hi Rosebud,
I believe (and I stress the word "believe") that one leaf looks a lot like leaves I have had that get light burn. When my leaves get to about 6 inches from the 600HPS they start to discolor like that if I do not adjust the lights soon enough. In my case I know it wasn't heat stress just because the temps that far from my cool tubes are not hot at all. Hope this helps ya!

Hey Sensi,
Thank you. I think you are right.If it is light burn wouldn't all the leaves be affected? This is the fan's so far. It is going to be a job getting the lights moved up, but I will do Mr RB's best. ha.

When it has happened to me it only shows up on the leaves too close to the lights. For example I only had three of four large leaves on the top of my plant that looked like the one in the picture I put in. But again this is just my opinion of what it might be. I am in no way certain.

OK, a little panic, not a lot. Upon further inspection almost all leaves are affected with the red/brown tint to the leaves. Because I am not strong enough to move the lights because it is scary up there, I removed the bathtub cover and put the babies back in the tub. That gave me 12 inches more space between the lights and the tops of the plants. THey look very stressed to me. I watered them deeply and sprayed them off in case it was heat too plus light.
These plants are just 33 days from flip. Am I going to have to get rid of the 400 watt and keep just the 600 in there???
Help peeps please.
 
i dunno rose
it's hard to tell, but from pic 1 (which is tough to tell anything. be great to see a quick after lights out shot like that ;) :) ) it looks like these leaves are pretty far down the plant to be light burn.
you'd think if it was burning the leaves at mid level, the tops would be toast.

you mentioned snow recently, how've the temps been in there? (and as a fellow shower grower, you do have the plug in the shower drain right?)

*wanted to add.. don't panic. that's what usually messes things up more ;)
:)
 
Lights are out in an hour and ten minutes, I will take a shot then.
I think there are two things going on. First is I think i needed some Nitrogen, so I did a weak fert w/ that. I may be wrong, the the yellowing leaves looked like it to me.

Jerico, no the undersides look normal.
I will be back in an hour.
Thanks you guys.
Then I think there is a heat issue.
The taller plants are more affected with the russett, brown/red color on the fan leaves first, now on most leaves slightly.
 
How cold is the room?

Could be P def...

EDIT: It does look like a slight N def too but not too much.
 
Kinda looks like the same Color thats in the stems. Dont look like a burn thing to me. Its almost like they are turning Purple. Besides I see some leafs way down low on the plant that look the same way,,to far from the lights to be a Burn problem.

The room was 89 today and will be 64 or so tonight.

There's no such thing as "too much" light! It's almost always a heat issue... If you could find a more efficient way to carry heat away from the bulbs, or place a fan blowing across the canopy, I'd bet it would not get any worse!
 
IMO Unless this strain has purple in its line, then i can only think of P def, It would usually start on older leaves as its a mobile nutrient. I dont think its a heat issue, at the top of my canopy it gets to about 86 and i have no ill effects so doubt its heat.
 
yeap, definitely not light burn if leaves that low on the plant are hurting. Sorry I sent you down the wrong path Rose, I was just trying to help.
