Was it in coco?

Yep but the bud seemed unaffected so I just rode it out

Question to ask about narrow leaf sativa my plant is 10foot tall 4 foot round it is still in pre flower why is it not budding up all the indica plants are packing it on is that normal for a sativa this time of year in pre flower I'm growing outdoors never seen it before so late all the other years I've been growing they were all in bud

Depends on your location, however completely normal if it’s a pure or near pure Sativa. Patience.

Got any pics of it

Anyone have any good tips to increase humidity in the short term until I can get my hands on a humidifier. For the first time ever low humidity is actually a problem for me, sitting at 35% at the moment It's never been this low before.

I've read that you can hang a wet towel in the tent, that sounds like an invitation for mold but i guess it'll dry out pretty quick. Any other ideas out there that don't really involve construction?

Put an air stone bubler aquarium air pump thing in a bucket of water

Sorted

I'll post some pics tomorrow I'm near mt isa

There stacking up quicker then the the last grow though

Couple of things m8.
Top pic. Looks like light stress, is it more pronounced directly under the light and only on the uppers? If so lift light height.
Mentioned Zinc def the other day, looks like you got a bit off that too. That can be caused by stress, and too high ph. Lift light, and change your feed ph from 6.2 to 5.8 and give a good feed to flush run off. Zinc is more available at 6 and under. 5.8 is the perfect feed ph for coco as almost all is available at 5.8.
Lastly, looks like you’re pushing the EC, what you running EC at?

Hope that helps.

When I get home I’ll check the ec f I’m away this week. I’ll also drop the ph and up the light.

Yeah true last time I'll be growing sativa taken to much time effort but will pay of when it's ready hard to clone as well this sativa easy on the indica wide leaf might invest in a grow light and try that out for a while

Cool. Tag me if you post the findings in case I miss it if that’s ok.

Sativa rewards with its quality high. Not everyone wants to be couch locked all the time.

I agree with ozy, looks like a bit of light stress to me, this is what would happen to mine if I was dosing co2 and trying to provide intense light.
If I pushed too hard with my hids, my upper leaves would start lightening and I would always get what looked to be a magnesium deficiency on the bigger fan leaves (much like yours)
Could be worth lifting your light for a while and see if the issue stops getting worse?
And if it doesn’t dusty, then reducing light intensity probably isn’t a bad thing until you figure out what’s going on imo.

I'll swing with the light to be raised that's wat I thought my problemo was bit I ran out of room

Same, i just changed from MH & HPS to LED. HPS was easy as you’d get way more heat and that was easy to determine if lights to close. LED not so much heat, and the intensity of the 550 caught me when I first upped the C02 and started pushing it after bud set. Lucky I got the old “praying leaves” as an early sign, so out with the PAR meter and sure enough just over 1200 PPFD. Backed it off to just under 1000 and all good.

Yeah i used to see it all the time with cool tubes.

People would grow plants right up to the lights. Thinking it was ok because their wasnt a lot of heat but too much light intensity is just as damaging

Yep, if I wasn’t using C02 then 800-900max PPFD for bloom.
It would be much easier for guys without PAR meters if the bloody light manufacturers would give decent charts over various heights & footprints.

Then I watched a gecko stalk and eat a huntsman. Was quite the battle once the gecko went in for the body and the spider wrapped its legs around it. I missed the good bits with my camera tho
