I am trying to sleuth a problem with three of my plants. These three
plants are semi-established clones I acquired (~1 month old) of
Pineapple Kush. I acquired them and they were in an odd early
flowering state with some pistils showing ut no budding. They are
extremely bushy with incredibly close node spacing and such BUT almost
zero real fan leaves beyond singletons. They are completely covered
in single or at most double leaves.
I have these in my grow room under 400W of Vero29 LEDs @3500k.
Environment is pretty stable at ~45% humidity, temps ranging mid to
high 70's right now and good air exchange. Lights are currently 24"
above the leaves and being run 24 hours in an attempt to flip these
back into vegging.
None of my smaller seedlings that are a week old are showing any
problems whatsoever.
These clones, however, have just started some odd
lightening/yellowing. Initially it looked like a N deficiency but
these were all recently transplanted into 7 gallons of fresh FFOF so
I'd be very surprised if they are starved for nutrients.
My other gut reaction was that I just finished this grow room and
added all the reflection so the light levels these are getting went up
substantially about a week ago.
Right now im treating by a light dose (1/4 strenght) of veg nutes and raising/dimming lights for a bit until i diagnose this.
I have included some pictures below taken in natural light.
Questions:
1. Does this look like classic early N deficiency?
2. Does this look like initial light bleaching and I just need to
raise my lights and let the plants get used to the intensity levels?
3. Related to the single-bladed leaves on these clones and their
light flowering state, could this be related to the plants trying to
switch into vegetative mode? Will they drop these single bladed
leaves as they begin putting out proper multi-bladed fan leaves?
