for around the last week, the top fan leaves are yellowing/light green at the edges,but the centres remain a darker shade of green.
these fan leaves look dry, and have some "light brown spots" on them, scattered.
i had a problem earlier with over-fert,so i flushed and she has recovered well, with the exempt being this.
i`m in week 3 flower and using a 400w HPS, ph is cool, and ferting with some dilluted bonzai juice 6-4-4, they love it:p
the lamp bulb is quite close to the tops, like 6", but i have a fan blowing directly on top 24/7, and it doesnt feel too hot when i do the hand test.
i need the lamp close so the bottom branches get good light,as she`s 5ft.
i`ve been looking through all the trouble-shooters etc but can`t find anything to exactly match with mines.
the new growth is fine,but when it develops into a larger leaf it seems to dry and yellow slowly-with the eventual light brown spots when they are the main fan leaves. but like i said, it`s only on the top of the plant.
the other tops lower are extremely healthy.
i know a pic speaks a thousad words man, but my cam is crap-a little megapixel key chain one, i`m waiting on a USB connector for my cam-corder:rolleyes:
as i`m writting this i`m thinking it may be a mg def:stoned: but only at the top of the plant:confused: , and i`ve also got to consider she had some burn she has recovered from, although very recent.
maybe i should give her a shot of epsom salts and see what happens.
any ideas :welcome: :postpicsworthless: for sure...
 
Well Shuggy it sounds like two things. Either your light is burning them or they are still being burned by the nutes. Have you started her on nutes again?
 
not yet man, although i gave maybe 1/2 pint of water containing nutes for my seedlings NPK 1.8-2.2-2.8, maybe that? it was very dilluted,around 3 days ago.
 
Did you give any to the plant that's having the problems?
 
yup, that`s the one i`m talking about, around 1/2 pint of very low-dilluted fert. maybe not even 1/2 pint, just the left overs,although i thought she had recovered, and was about to start her on a low dose again.
would this only affect the top?
 
Maybe Shuggy. She might need another flush. Let's see if anyone else wants to chime in. ;)
