reduce temps give a flush if you're in soil. reducing temps will produce more trichs i here but then some farmers don't worry about that little curl at this point in the grow maybe that's why no one has chimed in but that is only my 2 cents. good luck with the grow. I stuck a chart for plants in a post on this page check it hope it helps

It's only been 4 weeks of flower giver or take ...i switched them ton12/12 on June 29, and since about then I've been dealing with spider mites and this deficiency has only been the last 3 weeks or so, prior to the switchbibwas only using a pro mix root booster, since the switch im using big bud, and sensi cal/mag now, for the mires I used a homemade spray, of 10ndrops of neem oil to 5 drops of dish soap and 10 drops of lavender oil, first spray did a decent job on the mites but when I sprayed 5 days later it cooked 70% of the pistles..ias for the lights I havent had a problem before..there noah s 1000w x 2 so not sure if they'd be doing something now..they are about 24inchs from the tops

Is this minor discoloration of new shoots something to worry about? Few days after topping the plant on 3rd node, switched to more powerful grow light, should be about 500 umol ppfd. Coco with Flora series + CalMag + Fulvic + Si.

I need some help!! My girls are looking worse and worse everyday. The spotting/yellowing rotten banana look is spreading to more plants.

What is happening to my plants?
Not pretending like I know for a fact but looks like maganeese problem throw some epsom salts around the base and water being outside I hope you dug a big hole and filled with your made soil combined with time lapsed ferts? But any way I would try the Epsom Salt first but again this is just my opinion and doesn't have to be right. what have you tried? Outside growing I've never done. Understand it does take care with lots of bugs and other things though but good luck

I think when new shoots show they have a lighter color and darken with age like lettuce I'd just keep an eye on the edge curl maybe cut back a little on the nutes other than that they look healthy

I could be wrong but I wouldn't spray while in flower could cause mold. If your'e spraying for infestation only spray the backs of the leaves at lights out. if its a gnat problem cover the tops of your medium get a few fly strips maybe anything to keep those girls from suffering. She looks tasty already!!!!

When I start to see edge curl like that I first think over watering and heat issues. Came to realize that root rot or damage causes problems like these. My temps were not right and at lights out I had no temp controls that was dumb after fixing buds have grown well try letting medium dry more get temps right during lights on and off and be careful with your nutes red stems generally are a sign of temp fluctuation. just my 2 pennies
