light burn problem of leafs. please help!

[badKarrot]

hey all;
some of my leafs got burnt because of the lights (CFL) touching them. at first I thought it was ok but i read that "burned foliage is susceptible to pest and diseases attack".
should i cut the leafs to prevent this from happening?

 

[Clonex]

No , dont cut them to suit your lights , get your bulbs right to suit your plants....

 

[Total Head]

you can cut off the burnt part if you want. i wouldn't go chopping off hunks of healthy plant just to avoid a little leaf burn. if you tie down the tips and branches that are near the light you'd be better off. do you have a pic of the setup and the plant?

 

[badKarrot]

i can't get a clear picture but i have 1 top CFL of 135W, 1 CFL 135W perpendicular to the top one (for the buds underneath the main cola) the 2 other 135 W CFL for the sides (lower) 2 other CFL that are of 30 W each (each covering the lowest 2 buds) and 2 LED lights of 4W each for one more bud ...
i don't it's not very accurate but all the pictures are getting too dark because of all these lights

Turn the lights off and use the flash on your camera or phone .....

I used a 1/2 inch wire mesh screen over my lights to keep them from scorching my plants

 

[badKarrot]

Nice grow man!!!
Clonex still not working man , it aint showing shit!
but im still trying sorry for ur time

 

[Clonex]

ok well that mesh looks a great idea , its tough to see what space you have without pics ...

looks good !, you got to make some reflectors for those tubes ASAP, even an aluminum pie plate strapped behind them, half your light is going to waste.
I hope those are 2700 K lights ?

 

[badKarrot]

i dunno abt that honestly, not written on the bulbs but they're 125W actually not 135 as mentioned earlier. it's the equivalent of 625 W. is there anyway i can check it out so i can answer u?
btw thanks a lot for the reflector's tip will get on it right away

 

[Clonex]

that is the busiest little grow i ever saw lol (not critism)
gee' man next time consider growing an Indica plant , they dont get so tall ,
taking it you have another bathroom to use haha

it's the color of the light actually 2700 K is called warm white, the other good grow light is 6500 K called Daylight

hahaha i actually didn't know what it was to be frank theyre bag seeds. i think they're hybrid tho (like mostly sativa and a bit of indica) because the lower fan leaves looks a lot like indica leafs. i hope it's a hybrid too because the maturation time of sativas is really long!!

 

[badKarrot]

oh! they're actually day light... is it bad?

looks like a Sativa to me

 

[badKarrot]

so it's gonna take ages before it matures??

 

[Clonex]

Seconded.....

if I'm right, yes. doesn't mean you can't take quality control samples.
