I have read online that it can be a deficiency of many different things. However a member on this board has helped me through a couple issues and he has been spot on so far. He advised me to not worry about purple stem if all else seems well. My plants are big and bushy and still exhibit purple...

so I'm wondering if the browning early is simply it ripening early as it recognized it had to stop bud production and ripen or it wasn't going to have any finished product. You might be very lucky the plant is reacting in this way. You need to find out if that is mold though.... if it is you...

It really looks like you have mold growing man.... I'm a noob but with how Sick they are I think I've read it can try and ripen prematurely. I've seen you have a couple threads now, this late into flower I don't think your gonna be able to expect a normal harvest.

Or maybe the light being so close stunted them a tad

And also drinking went back to normal. I'm not sure what that odd pause was. Unless my bending stressed it. But I thought that was the whole point of that method was low stress.

I have seen the sex organs go from pointing straight up to flattening out or stretching out. That was a cool change to see.

I will say I think I was expecting the first cpl weeks of 12 hour to do a bit more of the "stretching" I hear about. Maybe because I trained mine to have so many main colas? Or maybe because I'm only on day 2 of 12 hr?

lol after a hour of lights on ph did go up....

Here's one just for size and stature

Ok so seems like they drank less water then normal. Ppm still dropped some, but ph remained the same. Probably only drank a half a gallon. I included pic of down tip, as well as a spot that seems like it mostly healed but I had noticed slightly burned before I raised lights. Most noticeable...

Lol oops I meant down.

So I was probably just noticing them feed less which is why I was seeing the ph have less fluctuation with each succeeding day as well. So if ph goes up would you dilute immediately or ride it out?

Yea I've already given thought to running tubs instead of buckets for a bigger tank...piece of info as I've seen you in a lot of threads and you seem to be a helper. Anyone assuming they are putting 5 gallons of water in their 5 gallon buckets is wrong. I have multiple buckets and my "full" line...

I knew you would ask for that :-). Lights on is in 4 hour I'll pop in right before lights on, I'll post a pic. It's not severe or every leaf or anything. Change my name to Frantic Fran. And it wasn't new growth. But also wasn't shaded where it would really have a possibility of N tox. I did some...

What is kind of odd is I have seen some new leaves exhibiting tips pointing downwards. I've been topping with full strength. Ppm is still going down when water level goes down, but it's making me half tempted to just top off with ph balanced water

Yea well the claim is now with the life span and energy efficiency, in the long wrong it's cost effective. We will see....800$ a light and they better last the 5+ years they claim.

Oh yea and uvb light tubes on the side

Oh I see. Well my only real option is veg mode and bloom mode. Visibly veg mode has more blue spectrum and bloom red. I know that bloom setting uses more wattage as well. I'm using LED light for both. It wasn't as affordable as the lights you mentioned, so it better work! Lol

Sorry should of quoted your response. Switch ratio of blue/red lighting. What effect do you get? Do you use one for more node spacing or?

Is there something you see that makes you switch? Here's a visual update after 12hr of dark. Still sucking more nutrient then water I keep bumping up to 850-900 with top offs.
