Purps Five weeks into 12.12

Here are a few pictures of my Purps plants five weeks into flowering. I am having a bit of confusiong as to weather the burning on several of them is from heat stress or nutrient burn.

My temperatures are 76 degrees lights off, and sometimes as high as 87 lights on (87 is the temp around the floor where the lights are on, which leads me to believe my canopy could have been over 90 pretty easily. I had some problems with ventilation but got it worked out, and hope to see lower temps tonight - will keep ya posted.

Some of the ladies look real nice, but I have also been battling spider mites this time. I have only found two plants thus far with mites, and I gave em a spray last night... and will remove those dead fuckers and their webs tonight when the lights come on. Look at them laying there dead still in their webs! :thumbsup:

Will likely do another Pyrethrum bomb sometime soon to make sure they stay the fuck away.

What do you guys think...? Nutrient burn or temperature burn? The most of the damage is definitely on the top third of the plants, most of the damage being on the tallest of all the ladies. My PPM is at 870 right now which I figured they could handle. Perhaps lock out?

I water the plant until they are fully saturated but not flowing out of the bottom of the pot.. so lock out is a possibility too. This method has worked fine for me in the past though. I am using SunShine#4 and SuperNatural nutes, and also Hydrozime. Any opinions are appreciated.

Would love to bump the nutes up... I would think I could go higher than 870 this late, especially since a buddy topped 1200 by the end of his run (same genetics)

Did the burn set in slow or fast? Nutrient burn will usually set in fairly slow. Those plants look hurt, if the burning hit hard and fast, I'd have to say heat burn.

Seems the burn did set in pretty quickly though it's difficult to tell when you are watching over a whole bunch of em.

The bud shot with the leaves that look real bad..that plant also has mites (which are controlled somewhat now)

The leaves that are damaged from heat or nutrient burn are pretty dry and almost brittle.

Pictures 1 and 4 are the plants that have the damage on them but no mites. Doesn't most of the plants turn overly dark green when nutrient burn it taking place? Alot of em look real healthy to me, it's confusing.

no offense...but your purps must be the purps that people get way out here...it isn't purple, and it's $600 an ounce just because it's 'purps'

plants look good though

If it was nutrient burn wouldn't alot of the leaves even on the healthy plants look overly dark green? That's how I've seen it in the past.

Fuckin capitolists!!! I hate that shit, $600/oz. I remember this fake ass rasta in Humboldt charging tourists $70/8th for purple pot that We were all paying $30/8th on. Then I hear him talking about "1 love" all the time. Fake mother fucker.

I'm thinking heat burn, but keep an eye out for signs of nute lockout.

Mark look what you did to poor Dave! Stop that!, lol. I agree with Dave that it is heat here....got some good high temps, bent ends on your leaves on uneven burning pattern on the leaves themselves.....not to mention you said the damage was pretty much confined to the top third of the plants and your tallest ones were most affected.

I hereby rest my case.... :D

I just have a bit of a passionate hatred for outragous weed prices. It grows on trees you know, I've seen it.

OK I'm better now.
