Leaves turning brown, drying and dying.
Funny story bout that.....
I did all that earlier then picked up my kids and went to the park (I posted pics of that place a while back).
We chilled for a while then back home they go :(
When I got home I didn't check the time, strolled into my bedroom with all the lights blazing and unlocked/opened the grow doors...
It was night night time for the girls and I didnt realize it so I slammed to door shut as quickly as possible, so quick in fact that I didnt have time to get my fingers outta the way LOL
So I really dont know yet, the flash view I got of em didn't indicate any droopyness or the like but I damn sure dont wanna grab a torch and go inspecting them when their "sleeping"...

LOL! Ouch! That sux,....
FYI any kind of light problem has to be enough that the plants start to wake up,... so igniting an HID but then shutting it back off before it warms up isn't going to hurt her, unless it's a habit. Keep bright light exposure to less than 3 minuets and you shouldn't have a problem.
Get yourself a Green light to do night time inspections. I've worked in my "Dark" cycle for hours with a Green LED headlamp on with no harm to my ladies. ;)

facepalm
I've actually got a green LED, on my key chain, clipped to me right now...
let ya know in a few
Leaves turning brown, drying and dying.
The girls are looking good as far as I can tell right now.
I wasn't really expecting to see any improvement by now but atleast I know the flush w/ high P nute didnt just wreck the crud outta em right away. It seemed like a drastic move to me but from what I've read a P def can be pretty aggresive at times...
Hell, atleast they aint water-logged from being water yesterday and flushed today.
I did notice a prob though, maybe. My RH is at 69 now, my wife likes to leave the windows open this time of year, it's 94RH outside now :(
How high can the RH get at this point before it turns into a prob?
And, yes. I know I'll hafta keep the RH down when I dry :D

UHHGG!!! F' That! I struggle to get my RH to 40+ in flower (hovers around 35-40), and run an additional humidifier in Vege to boost RH to around 50, (airflow is intake thru flower, vent into vege, then vent outside, temps in vege are slightly higher same with RH) Ambient here is 15-20% I have to ADD moisture during drying! :eek:

:wtf:
I'm not even gonna waste my time and quote all sorts of posts that make your two here look very moot...
Please read the entire thread next time instead of only the first post...
Skimming doesn't count either

I think you have nute burn. You are on the right track flushing. BUT, I have never grown under CFL, so........
You must get an accurate ph testing kit, you can get cheap drop test that is sufficient, and gotta keep the ingoing pH no lower than 6. Water pH can fluctuate by the day

I have bought a Milwaukee pH600 already, stated that too...
And, my lighting is mainly fluoro tubes if that makes a diff.
It may be nute burn but I doubt it. Im not arguing the point w/ ya it's just that I've been using the same dose for a bit now and have actually dropped it just a bit lately, thats when the prob got worse and lead me to believe it was a defieciency prob.
And ya, our water here is screwy!
I live at the end of a cul-de-sac and the neighborhoods water all comes from a pump station thats about 50 yards from our house. I've already noticed that the pH always jumps on Mon, Wed, and Fri but Tues, Thur, Sat and Sun the pH is about .5 lower. Workers show up and do something over there for an hour or two every Mon, Wed, and Fri too.

My .2$ start foliar feeding, and continue flushing soil with water for a week, then go back to feeding at a 3/4 of what you were feeding. This way if there is a lock up of nutrients it will be flushed out of the soil. If you have some def, foliar feeding will help in the meantime.
Also I would remove any leaves that are damaged severely.
Lets play chess buddy

I'm sorry that you misunderstood my comments towards.
I didn't mean to imply you were wrong it any way. I said moot. Do you understand what that word means? I doesn't mean wrong, it means of little or no value. I'm sorry that didn't understand why I wrote that but I'll clarify...
Do you think telling my pH is off is gonna help in any way? I already know its off and this has already been discussed in this very thread moot...
You write my plants are maxed out on steroids. Really? Explain how feeding with FF BB at 3/4 strength every other watering is maxing out the plants with steroids when I've been feeding this for quite a while and have recently already lowered nute doses and the prob got worse... moot...
You write explaining to trim the damaged leaves because blah blah blah. Yes. Your right. They should be removed if they're dead and I already know this... moot...

I just had to quote this one...
If its RO? If? I've already posted that Im not using RO and you actually quoted me on it... moot...
You also mentioned that Phosphorus may be a concern. DING DING DING WE HAVE A WINNER!!! no wait... we dont have a winner... this was already discussed too, and yet again you quoted me writing this... moot...
It's not that you are offering bad information. Not that at all. Most of your info is pretty darn good info but you pretty much just wasted my time by rehashing topics that have already been discussed. If you would have actually read the whole thread and applied the information already discussed instead of coming off as an impatient know-it-all I wouldn't be typing moot... so much today.
So in summary: Yes. You're right. BUT, this has all been discussed already and you adding more already added info is moot...
:D <----- honestly, does adding that to your last post really makes it less douchy?
