need some help + rep

at about 4-5 weeks flowering and fan leafs are turning yellow then crumbling. even sugar leafs are turning yellow...everything but the bud itself looks like complete shit! my temps are pretty high..is this the reason...havnt had extra cash to invest in ac yet...but i had air cooled hoods with no fans pulling hot air yet...just a fan circulating air. ph stable good nutes...temp at 80-88 depending on the weather outside...everything looked great untill about 4 weeks...please any advice would earn rep!!!!

80 to 88 degree weather isn't adequate for flowering, let alone for most parts of a plants life except when its a seedling. Try to get a stable 70-76 degrees, if an AC unit is too expensive maybe you can just stick a bowl of ice cubes in front of their fan. I doubt this will do anything but i gave it a try lol.

cant see it just being temp issue,any pics?

what ferts? hydro or soil? ec ok?

Temps are not your problem 88 is fine for temps. Plants grow outside at temps much higher than 70, that's just bad advice right there, I'm ashamed for you.

If your leafs are crumpling up like that you got bigger problems but without knowing how you are growing them and what you are feeding them nobody can give you an answer, only guesses. More info is needed and a pic if you can.

88 degrees is not going to burn your plants. How about a little more information.
There must be something else going on.

What kind of light, how close
Soil ?
Type of Nutes, etc.

With a little more info maybe we can help you.

in my opinion i would say it was either nute burn, or maybe nute lockout. you may want to flush your plants, adjust correct ph'ed water and then re-water. never hurts to be safe just in case

Perhaps a combination of ph probs and over ferts....without pics, hard to tell...

pics pics or no solved issue dude

couldn't afford AC over the summer, plants were peaking out around 95! didn't make them burn though, just turned airy as fuck... yield decreased by at least half... dropped it down with some fans to about 80-88 and yield and plants were fine... yellow sounds like nutes

Im not saying itd cause burns but its not good for flowering. Humidity would probably be a problem. But leaves turning yellow sounds like a sign of nute burn, deficiency, or pH problems. Try flushing it first and then make sure your using the right amount. One teaspoon per gallon applies to most my nutrients, but some are more diluted.

using gen hydro flora nova at 2 tsp per gallon . ph at 5.5-5.8.. kinda scared to post pics...not really getting fresh air either.. in a closet i open everyday to let in air. and have air being pulled out.. 400 hps about 1 1/2 feet away from top.. i dont drain old water just keep adding fresh water and nutes when low...any one that could help without pics or do i need to man up lol

We all post pics dude, I wouldn't worry about it..
Air intakes are almost a necessity. Are you in soil? or are you hydro? If you're not using soil, I wouldn't suggest you keep adding nutes. It may well be nutrient burn.. Pics would defiantly help dude..
Hope it works out for ya.

I'm pretty sure he's using an add water hydro garden. Do you have ppm meter? You may be adding too much nutrients, and always remember to put a little bit of peroxide in your water so they have a healthy root systems. Pics would really help though, it doesn't matter how bad they are.

lights turned off on the second pic hope thats enough..

Looks like a zinc deficiency to me

come and get some rep! anyone! i need to get this figured out

fresh air exchange is important.
"air exchange has been the number one limitation to maintaining and controlling the growing environment optimum for your crop. Temperatures greater than 85°F are detrimental to overall crop quality in most cases. This temperature should not be exceeded in the plant canopy, directly under the lights, never mind on the thermostat hung on the wall several feet from the nearest H.I.D. light source. I cannot stress this enough. Yes, plants can metabolize faster under slightly warmer conditions in the presence of elevated CO2 levels, but this tends to contribute to less desirable developmental characteristics and physical appearances."

from a nice article...

If you are growing in a hydro set up, you may want to check your water too. Not the ph, the ppm. I have hard water, and my plants would crap out on my like that too. I started adding h2o2, and cal mag.. the hard water locks out the magnesium. H202 I find helps break down anything that may be in the water, (yes it de-chlorinates, but that's not an issue here.. but it may be for you).

It looks like a few different things, but if you get your air and water straight, you will find things get alot easier.

Edit: the quote was taken out of context, but was only meant to demonstrate that it makes your plants look crappy... I'm pretty high, I know what I mean, but I want to make sure you do too

crumbling leaves and not one person asked about humidity?..
