August 1, 2020 I started three different strains, Mountain Deux Baja Blast, Bay 11 and Parmesan:
Weeks 1-2 (Did Great)
Top Feeding (5.
18 Hrs
Feit Electric 30 Watt White Full Spectrum
Hanging Height 8"
1" Rockwool cube (PH-5.9)
77 Degrees
65% Humidity
25-60 PPM (Cultured Solutions)
The start of week 3 thru end of week 6:
1" rockwool transplanted to 4" rockwool-6.0 PPM
18 Hrs Feit Electric swapped out for Agro LED Sun 48
Top Feeding (5.
80 Degrees
58% Humidity
65-90 PPM
Hanging Height Initially 18" switched to 16" a week before veg time. Leaves started changing colors from the bottom heading to the top. During seedling, I lollipoped the damaged leaves and my plants repaired themselves in no time. No problems occured until I changed the hanging height. (Suffered Light Stress-re-raised light-corrected issue)
A week ago I attempted to start my veg and the same issue arose only worse.
18 HRS
Current Culture Deep Water Culture (4)13 Gallon
(2) Phytomax-2 400 Watt Led
82 Degrees
52% Humidity
100 PPM
6.0 PH
Chiller 72 Degrees
Immediately I noticed my leaves were starting to crinkle and my tips were starting to burn. I freaked out and took my plants out of there DWC home to place them in a 2x2 flood tray in there original enviornment for a night until I could figure out what to do. The next day I raised my (2) Phytomax-2 400 watt LED'S as high as I possibly could also turning one off and leaving one phytomax on in my 8x8x7 gorilla grow tent. I than placed my LED directly in the middle.
I than placed my 2x2 flood tray on the floor underneath my LED along with my 4 plants inside the rockwool which is rests inside a 5" netpot that slides inside my DWC buckets.. I kept track of my plants progress what little they had and even on the floor close to 5ft away they still were showing signs of burning.
I than took them off the floor and placed them back in there original enviornment lost in a mental fog of assumption assuming they needed to be seedlings a bit more. After five extra days of perking back up I noticed roots growing out of the top and immediately placed them inside there DWC so's not to suffer root bound.
After placing them here I again lollipopped every burnt leaf and from that point there's been minimal growth. The growth that I do have, tiny leaves are crinkling and resemble crumbled paper as opposed to cannabis leaves.
Phytomax has mentioned to me that when plants grow leaves, they optimize the leaves for the light they are currently receiving. Whenever light intensity or spectrum changes, the existing leaves aren't optimized for the new conditions, and the plant undergoes shock. Leaves grown under the new lighting conditions will be optimized for it, but until new leaves grow the plant isn't able to best use the new light it's getting. By using the same spectrum for vegetative and flowering cycles, they said they eliminate this shock, and have noticed a decrease in flower time (1-7 days) and an increased yield when the plant was grown for its entire life under one spectrum.
After learning this I have no idea what to do. I have new leaves that are crinkling and changing color.
Can you please give me any tips or suggestions.
Thank You
