Does this look okay to you?

Two of the plants look healthier than ever! But this last one is extra tall and has hit its height limit... For some reason, it has also got dried out leaves all over... If any possible explanation could be given, that would be great! And also a solution too... Roughly 2-3 weeks from harvest. Thank you.

No - something's wrong and it's not going to rebound much if at all with that many dead leaves and if it's 2-3 wks from harvest. Seems like it's shocked or locked out - is it in soil with synthetic nutes? My guess is salt build up is stopping it from drinking and thus it's drying out. I'd flush and just feed clean water, especially since it's so close to harvest anyways. Good luck on the grow

Also, it's rockwool CUBES. They're very small in overall size and many of them... Yes synthetic nutes. GH 3 part.

could also be heat stress. Noticed some foxtailing on some buds but that can happen to some strains when theyre late in flower.

whater your temps like? day, night, average?

On average, roughly 90-100 degrees unfortunately... That's during the middle of the day, then evens out to 80 rest of the day.

pH the water and make sure it's filter or just get distilled water (distilled you won't have to worry about ph). In the future I'd recommend leaving the GH 3 part or any synthetics to hydroponics and not soil because of the high salt content and the need to pH. Soil can be so much simpler with out the synthetics.

Happy growing and enjoy that bud.

DAMN!!! Thats your culprit. There may be more going on but that is causing them to perspire all the water into the air to keep themselves cool. Which is probably leading to salt build up because the water is being drained out of the medium too fast to carry an effective amount of nutes. Also you probably have some form of root rot going on and possibly soil diseases. You never know in temps like that because those are the temps all the bad shit like.

You might also have budrot/mold because your humidity is likely high as well.

get some fans or an a/c in there ASAP! Or just wait til this run is over and start fresh next time.

No they won't be OK, they'll all die soon, nothing can be done at this point, just chop them when ready and send me those useless plants

Alright guys. Thank you for the assistance. Greatly appreciated! But the thing is, I already have an intake and also an out-take fan... I can't continue to purchase extremely expensive equipment. Upon building the area, Polystyrene was fitting inbetween the walls of the constructed area... Should I try and take that all out for next time as it is a really good insulator?

Id just get a window/portable air conditioner. 2-4 hundred dollars isnt that much. Im pretty sure you can take what you have right now and sell it for more than that.

Also dont get into this game if youre not willing to spend the money. I encourage everyone to grow and everyone to be resourceful with the money they have.

But it takes money to make money and if youre not accomplishing your goal and are unwilling to buy the right products for that goal, you can only do as good as this.

Youll be fine in the winter if it cools down in your area, so after this harvest you might wanna pack it up til then?

Hope you get everything figured out!

Do you care more about your wallet, or your plants bro? Save some money, or save your plants. This is your choice. Just like if you don't have the money for feeding a dog you shouldn't own one, the same goes for cannabis plants, I hate to tell you. Tighten your belt and suck up your pride, give the ladies what they deserve mate. Expenses far as growing goes can go through the roof. Why do you think good indoor ganja is so expensive? You can upgrade your rig, or go back to buying your weed off the streets.

Dude. They are living organisms. Life is precious. Don't come with excuses about money. While building my rig there were times I was flat broke halfway through the month. I couldn't fix my teeth and had to endure 10 weeks of intense pain. What needs to be done needs to be done.

I feel pretty low now to be fair, and to be completely honest you two have a very good outlook on it. I now shall be looking at ways on how to make sure my next batch have the quality of life they deserve. Very inspiring. Thank you.

Any recommendations for good A/C units? I live in the UK so I would prefer if I was able to purchase this without the possibilities of importing

im not sure what are available over there but LG makes good ones but really any air conditioner will do theyre mechanically all the same. id go with minimum 8000 btu. make sure you get a new one though. older or used ones may function differently.

i have a 15 or 18000 btu one for my room with a 400 and 600 and a clone station and some other things.

i can run it on 75 and itll keep the whole room 75.

set the fans on it to the highest speed because slowing them wont save you more than a few pennies.

you want to get a big enough one that itll cool the room without running on the coolest setting but not one too big that its over expensive or too costly to run but either way youll end up with a better result than what you have now.

GO BIG OR GO HOME! haha

throw up some more pictures of your grow space for further suggestions.

That's the spirit! NOBODY pulls it off perfectly first time. Ups and downs just like the rest of life. Your next one is going to kick ass.

lower watts in the room do you have duct work with ac in the area you can run to the room? remove ballasts in the room,can you turn down your watt use on the ballasts?You must remove the heat from the room or you must remove energy that generates heat.Its a shame too because it looks like things were going well for you too. Keep trying dont give up.
