Someone should be able to recognize this, and it happens on a repetitive base, with different strains.
Right around week 4-5, there is a sudden darkening of the canopy that happens literally overnight. One day they are all light green and lime and the next they get dark and remain that way until then end. Results are fine, but I think this is not normal and there should be a way to keep them light green until the end.
Nitrogen is the main focus of my experiments, I have reduced it a lot, especially after I flip them, I have attempted to reduce it further even getting yellowing in lower leaves, however I can never seem to save them from darkening eventually. Sometimes beginning of week 6.
My main question is, could this effect be anything else than excess nitrogen? Does something else cause this darkening?
Also, is this perhaps normal? I know it is not strain related as I have tried various.
I do see some clawing and the smaller plants and those with weaker genetics definitely show nitrogen excess symptoms, at least that's my read.
This has been happening my 5-6 grows as this is a repetitive production cycle. All other factors the same, reducing Nitrogen has not shown great improvement. The following pair images are taken 1 to 2 days apart and see the difference.
Plants are visibly happy at all times, but something is off.
