OK, I'm gonna try and make this as small as possible, lol.
600w hps (vegged under 400 mh). 4x2x6 1/2 grow tent. (1.3x .66 x 2 m). 435 cfm 6" inline fan, yadda yadda. Temps 75-77 day, 66-72 night. Humidity has been all over the place lately (due to intake coming from outside through my air conditioner). Usually around 50-60 but lots of rain lately has made it as high as 80%
Ffof soil, been in there over six weeks, mostly 3 gallon smart pots (tomorrow 5 gallon)
Roots organics master pack 5 mil feeding schedule. Feed once a week and flush once a week. Last feeding was 1/5 strength, before that pH'd flush, before that full feeding.
Some plants started showing pistils as early as august 3rd; they were still under 16 hours of light but the switch from blue to yellow spectrum induced flowering. Were showing light stress at the end of the day, attributed it to them being fully mature and ready to flower and still getting 16 hours of light, plus the shock from the new spectrum. The tops were curling down, which has gotten better but they are staying too yellow on the new growth and are starting to show this weird copper color on the tops as well. The small top leaves have a spongy feeling to them, not crisp.
You can see my younger og kush on the right, he's been under the same conditions as the other ones up until my last full strength feed (my first feeding with flower nutes for the rest, so he got veg nutes but they were showing the light stress at the time, except for him as well. Probably BC he wasn't under the metal halide as long he's only 2-3 weeks old. The others are older than they look; it took me almost a month to get my environment under control and they grew very slowly.
At this point I'm thinking either a deficiency (not likely BC up until the problems I ran my nutes hot) of one of the immobile elements, and thats why its showing up on top in new growth. or I'm having a pH problem, that's locking out one of the immobile elements from being available to the plant.
As always, thanks in advance
