WW and diesel kush cab grow 2nd-10th week flowering

[Have a Cigar]

Hey, I've decided to resume my cab grow log in this forum because it's easier to manage my pictures around. Anywho, specifications:

Vegged for 3 weeks under a 250W MH, currently in my flower section under 400W HPS, day 13 week 2 looking awesome (getting a bit tall).

Proper ventilation for now, one small fan facing upward blowing air out of a vent, over the weekend I'm adding a carbon filter with a 180 CFM to pull air out.

Using the Grotek 3-part nutrient system, Bloom, Grow, and Micro. The plants are in 3 gallon circular pots, I give them 1 gallon ph balanced water mixed with the proper amount of nutes and a 1/4 tsp of superthrive.

The strains are White Widow and Sour diesel x Pure Kush, grown from clones I recieved from a medical co op.

The white widow is about 2 and a quarter feet tall, the diesel kush is about 2 and a half (I don't know how big it's going to get but I only have a good 8" left of vertical space.

Also, I think it's nute burn or some kind of def. But im leaning toward nute burn on this one (leaf pic 4)

Awesome grow! I am a little worried that you are gonna run out of room or possibly burn your plants with only 8 inches left- is that 8in from the light or 8 in until they get too close to the light? Also - how many leaves are like that on your plants (pic 4)? I doesnt look like nute burn. I think that it might be temp related. Have you had a good temp reading close to the lights? If you are only 8" away from the 400W and those leaves are near the top of your plant then you might be burning them. Kush varieties can be a little touchy sometimes - they don't like temps over 80 during flowering. Are the tips curling under a little or appear black? That's a dead giveaway. The plants look great though for real. Keep up the good work!
Tchau!

The plants have about 8" until they reach a danger zone, which is about 1" from the light. Theres 3 lower leaves but they are big, and one uppear leaf thats just yellowing. The temps are usually between 72 to 78-9 ish.

Ok, so I cut the leaves off because I was reading someone elses post that had almost exactly what I had, and it was mold. I left 1/4" at the stem of the leave off the stalk (someone said to). More pics later tonight.

Hey all, sorry for the delay, just got my mold under control and such. Week 3 flowering / Day 20. The plants are looking way healthier now, but i'm afraid the top of the main cola on the taller plant has been burnt. I just ordered a 160 cfm inline duct fan and will install it and ducting in a few days. Should reduce the temp between the plant and the light. The last picture is of the taller plant cola, see the lines down the leaves and the brown hairs already? Either my plant is progressing insanely fast or that bitch is nuked. Cheers :S5:

Your doing a good job homie. Unfortunatly the top bud is suffering from heat stress. I cant even see the bud that clearly but you can tell by looking at the associated leaves. The tips look a little cooked and even the middle of the leaves look a little fried. The fan should help out a great deal - you will be suprised at the difference it makes. Also - GH makes a foliar spray called "chi" that might help keep the plants a bit shorter and more heat resistant. I have not used chi however - you might want to search the posts and see if anyone else had great results with it. Keep up the good work!

thanks dude, i ordered the 160 cfm fan on the 5th, it shipped today so it should be here around monday. The heat stress is actually not from temps, its from the fungucide spray I sprayed on them, I guess I underestimated the time it takes for the plant to dry off before the light comes on. So the top is a bit burnt, it looks like the vertical growth is nearing an end on the colas and soon I think their gunna fatten the hell up within the next 3 weeks. The yellowing has ceased a little bit also. I wanna put molasses in with the next feeding, does anyone know the amount per gallon? I'll take pics over the weekend, the battery on mine died and I can't find the charger. Cheers :rastasmoke:

LST -N- HURRY
stress in flower is baddddddd
this used to happen to me and i'd put a drywall screw in the rim of the pot -n- lasoo plant w/ a piece of yarn n bend it over and tie it off to the screw . go to search and read up on -> low stress training or LST .
peace man
your cuz

yo crispi i thought that LST should only be done pre flower?? Most of everything ive read about it suggests pretty much pre flowering. Like I said though its not constant on the top of the cola, its because i sprayed some fungicide on it and the lights fried the liquid on the leaves, but the temps are between 78 and 80 in peak hours (right before the lights go off), so theres no ongoing stress. Next grow I will definetaly LST way early on to prevent stuff like this from happening :rastasmoke: peace

Day 27, end of week 4. some buds dont look too well, with the mold still slowly spreading (I've done everything possible to stop it but I think its too late). Pretty rapid yellowing even though ive boosted the nutes and soaked them with fungicide. White Widow buds look alright, it's the leaves near them I'm worried about. The taller hybrid kush plants lower buds look relatively unharmed, but the leaves are turning yellow and then curling up because of the mold. The fan will probably come tomorrow, so the room will be cooler with lights on and have way more circulation. Any suggestions on how I can pull these things through at least a good 7 weeks before chop? They are starting to form lots of chrystals and buds are getting fatter.
