To start this is my first grow.
Background:
posted on here earlier in Veg about wanting to increase my yields and was immediately chirped for using LEDs so I switched to 600 HPS for flower lol.... With that, I immediatly ran into temp issues in my 32”x32” tent.. I turned my ballast down to 400W and raised it to 24” above my plants after week 3 which now has my temp at 75-80F with the lights on and about 55-60F lights off.. Both plants are in a 3 gallon smart pots which is what I believe to be part of the problem ( 12 week Veg - plant on the right is much smaller so thinking the roots still have room to grow where the yellowing plant may be running out of room).. anyways I’ve supplemented Mag in the last few watering and still notice daily leaves curling, yellowing, and dieing off MAINLY on the top layer of leaves.
I’m asking for thoughts and advice for future grows as well as finishing my last few weeks of flower. Strain is Acupolco Gold with estimated 70-75 days of flower.. I’m going to start flushing on day 60 and am guessing guessing the leaves are yellowing from heat stress, to small of a smart pot, nitrogen / mag deficiency?
I’m attaching pictures of both my plants... one is healthy as can be while the other one has been dealing with yellowing fan leafs since week 3 of flower.. I’ve been pruning 5-10 leaves every water. “
Lastly would anyone change the larger plant to a 5 gallon bucket for the last few weeks? I’m guessing no because to much stress? Let me know - any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
