Ok so my plants went into flower finally.


Now I'm having this issue where the very tips of my leaves are droopy but the majority of the plant is this way..

There's very few leaves that are droopy completely but for the majority of both plants it's just the tips. I have a little bit of nute burn but it's nothing I should be too worried about I think.

Does anyone know what's causing this?

I just flushed them yesterday so hopefully they recoup in a couple days but I don't want it to keep happening.

Thank you in advance.

Its bc you flushed. Dont flush. If you overnute..water lightly for awhile. Overwatering sufficates roots. This plant would rather be thirsty and snap back in 1hr than drowned and sufficated..then you get more issues bc the roots wont uptake nutes

The reason I flushed is BECAUSE I was having issues with the leaves. Not the other way around.

That doesn't look too bad and might just be strain related. I've got 5 OG#18s that have all done that since they started budding and are almost finished. Three other strains in the same room and none of them did it and everyone is is in the same soil mix and eating the same stuff getting fed and watered the same way.

They started yellowing fan leaves around 4 weeks flower and adjusting their feed levels had no noticeable effect so I figure it has to be the strain. First and last time I ever grow those. They were clones gifted by a friend that came with bonus thrips, powdery mildew and a few male flowers thrown in for shits and giggles. Lots of smaller buds and non-impressive main colas. I did pollinate a lower branch with OTTO#1 a high CBD/low THC strain so may see if I can get something good out of those beans. The popcorn buds I saved after lollipopping them at 4 weeks are getting cured up nice and the buzz feels like something worth keeping. Depends on how they smoke once the final product is in. There will be lots of popcorn to toss in the hash pile so it's not all bad. :)

:peace:

Awesome!

Thank you for the input.

I went ahead and fed again this morning, I think they were doing fine it's just my first grow and so, I gues it was just a little paranoia .

Now I'm struggling with one plant growing faster than the other even though they were grown together at the same time. I have my sour d that I keep struggling with trying to get close to the lights but then I realize a couple leaves are touching the bulbs and burning.

I was told when I'm growing with cfl's I have to maintain them as close to the light as possible.

With CFLs you for sure want them as close as possible and you should have some sort of reflectors on them too. Tin foil right on the bulbs works good and gets as many lumens as possible on to the plants. A burnt leaf here and there doesn't hurt anything but try to keep the grow tips safe.

You could always top or train the taller plant so the shorter one can catch up tho sometimes one just wants to do better than the next one. Are they the same strains? If different or grown from seed there is almost always differences in size, shape etc. Only clones from the same mother are going to give you identical plants.

I hear you, and thank you for your advice as well.

I refuse to use tin foil after reading so much about Mylar. So everything around the plants is mylar. But I didn't put any Mylar around the bulbs.

They are two different strains. Supposedly sour d and tangie.

They came from bag seed.
