Can someone chime in to let me know if you think this could be light bleaching? Very small signs of white tips one the new sugar leaves. Light is a about 11 inches from the tallest bud site. Will be on week 3 of flower soon. Does it look like I should be concerned? I'm only giving half strength of the GH flora series trio and half the cal-mag strength, and hydroguard. So I don't think its the mix it's that causing it. I only see the white tips on the new sugar leaves. Everything else looks good so far.

In that case could be the beginning of light burn. Nothing too allarming, just raise the lights at about 20inches and slowly lower them in time, find the sweet spot
Thanks. Trying to figure out how to rig the light hangers for more room. They are high as they adjustable clip go.

Hmm maybe if you lose the yoyo's and use some cable ties you can gain 4-5 inches?
Just rigged up some zip ties and got a few inches

I get this all the time and I notice it's just the top set of leaves that do it. Clear indication of light burn when that happens. What's your PAR and light cycle at? 18 inches to 24 would be an idea height. Looping your cables like so might help as well.
Im at 1 foot away from the top of the canopy. So this is what's on the mars website. I probably only have about 4-5 more inches more room at the top of my tent.

Looks like your setup is like my current 4x2 right now. If you can get it higher do it and spread them more to the sides away from each other. You might have to turn them down to 75% if it gets any worse. Maybe clean up some of them fan leaves for light penetration to the lower buds. Look up lollipopping. And on your next grow flip them earlier. Good luck man. They look healthy otherwise,nice job.
Yep you're exactly right 4×2. Just trimmed a lot of leaves last week. Trying to be cautious and not stress it too much during flower. Probably get rid of a few big ones next week. But I definitely need to start flipping earlier on my next grow. I was going the full 6 weeks of veg.

Shit my first grow I had no clue what I was doing, vegged for 8 weeks and then decided to throw them in a tent. I had these ladies in my living room not realizing that they'd grow so huge . Then when the tent arrived I didn't realize that the headroom was so limited! I had to chop them from the top. Luckily I was not into flower yet. But when they did flower they grew more. Lights to the ceiling of the tent. And I had all kinds of issues with the ladies, was wondering if I'd even make it to harvest. Best smoke to date I've ever had.
