New strain and Im having problems after putting into flowering. I suspect this is from over-watering. it a super silver haze two weeks into flowering grown in coco and perlite. I give her water about every 3-4 days and give her half strength humboldt 3 part nutes. ph was 6.2 when problem first appeared. after additional info I changed ph to 5.6.
Any feedback is much appreciated. I heard sativa like dessert conditions. I grow one other sativa which didn't have this problem.

is your container big enough? i've seen rootbound plants looking like that before..... but since you said your containers are drying every 3-4 days i wouldnt say over watering, coco is one difficult medium to over or under water, def post pix in better light

UPDATE:
Plants are the same took some shots after lights out not the greatest but I hope this helps.
I never thought of the plant getting root bound, maybe a possibility? Any other suggestions. Im probably going to kill it and start over. This is my second sativa grow, first was a Sagmarthas western wind, did great.

to be honest you'll probably save yourself much time and hassel to cut it.... i dont see any good vegetation on any of your branches. i see your light is super close to the plant also, are your temps staying in a good range? also do those containers have good drainage? that looks like lockout or toxicity to me considering the short amount of time this occured. do you have a possible pest infestation? because if that is the case you need to eradicate that issue before starting a new grow. also i would check your root ball after you cut it because if you got dead/ dying brown roots throughout then that could have been your problem. dont just cut it and toss it, do some investigation to prevent future issues. its much better to prevent a problem than to correct and issue imo.....like preventative maintenance on an auto

I was thinking of the same thing. Ill update with pictures of the roots and medium. I don't think its a bug issue. My lighting's a 250w HPS hung vertical and its about ~8" from the cool tube. My temps are average summer temps around 75 - 82 closer to the bulb. Ventilation, 4 inch inline fan 140 CFM. Humidity not too sure, could be low with the fan I have. My wife informed me that about a week and a half ago the exhaust vent fell off and she put it back on but wasn't sure how long it was off(no more than a few hours). Will a short heat wave cause so much permanent damage?
I don't want to create the same mistakes.

Thanks for the replys. :leaf:
