Hello, i fixed a heat issue as it was hitting upto 38c in my room.

They seem to have several defects. Im hoping they go back to normal but should i flush or just keep going as normal? Can too much heat cause these symptoms? I will attatch pictures.

Depending on your grow media I would potentially recommend flushing out because you definitely have some issues, in the first picture i see potential clawing from N toxicity, definitely seems to have heat stress but you have fixed that, and potentially PH issues. so realistically I would save leave her alone and let her be if shes in soil, but if you are running soiless then


Long story short
Flush those Nugz

That's a question that needs more information to follow =/ PH levels, nutes, link to a grow journal :P Like posted above it looks like you have some def issues. But I really like to know what the PH is. The PH of the water that goes in, and your run off.

Also yes to your question. That curling of the leaves says very hot or even hot air was blown over them very hard. When you do that with heat and air, it takes all the water out of the leaves causing them to curl like that.

But again, that just looks like one of a few issues you have ran into.

Thanks, my ph is usually fine as we have good water so i have never ran into problems with thag. The ec is around 1.2 also. They was transplanted in last week and looked very healthy and within a week they turned which im hoping is simply the heat as it was extremely high.

Shall i wait till they have drank their current feed then flush and check the run off just to be sure? Hopefully they will feel abit better over the next week or so and spring back to health

the ph of your runoff tells you nothing more than the ph of your runoff..

if yuo're having def's, flushing them isn't going to correct them, only feeding them w/e they're def in will do that.. i'd just back off on feeding them for a bit, straight water, see how they look in a few days and take it from there.. sometimes doing too much too soon will only cause you more issues imvho..

More checking run off to check ec to make sure salts havnt built up as i know too much heat can affect your roots, or so i have read.

I think your right, ill just take a step back, let them adjust to the new temps and take it from there, cheers

That's a big debated thing no? Take the run off subtract 3/4 to 1 point. I do believe in it as I have had good(not junk pos) soil readers and I have gotten same results. Checking both ways. It also fluxes high when my I had issues with my soul allowing me to add like to fix oh issues.

Also coco has a ph of 0.

I do not grow in soil any more though, if you have something that debunks it I would be happy to read it.

Never flush coco.

If you wanna flush add 1/4 strength nuts, or they will suffer a big time!

I never flush, in the last week before harvest I give just water for 3/4 days then i cut the water supply last 2/3 days.

Flush is over rated, as long as you cure good there is no need to flush.

And they need magnisum

he means the flush when you over nute, not the final stretch bud. I can't recommend a flush because I don't know what or how much you used. But yes you do look like there's a cal/mag issue. That's why I wanted to know your stats.

Even then I never flush..

It really depends on the situation.

I just give ligh feeding if they are highly burned.

If the tips just start to get burned (just the tips of the lieves) get yellow (begining of nuts burn)

I also never flush I would wait two days then give the SAME amount of nuts
(push them)..

Yeah i hear yeah. But when I first started i messed up and had to do it before. I put way too many nutes and when I found out poured 3 gallons with floreakleen and it resolved my issues.

But yeah aeindef agree most times def not.

Completly umderstandable

However I forgot to mention that I use coco as well.

And coco has really nothing in it.

I remmember first time I flushed an auto strain.

It was my first and last :)

It went even worse after the flush by 1 or two days.

He shouldnt flush coco never!

But yeah aeindef agree most times def not.

If it's yellow let it mellow, if it's brown you probably killed the poor thing...or something like that.
Final flush can mean running plain water for a few days, running a lighter nutrient solution, running lots of plain water over the substrate, there are many pre-harvest final flush theories running around right now. I don't bother, my weed tastes killer when the cure is on target. The cure is paramount.

Lol i can see people are conflicted on the flush debate. I appreciate the input peepz. I think due to the high temps which im hoping has caused them to react like this they should start taking in the right nutrients as the nutes came in at ec 1.2 which should be more than fine.

I flushed (with ec 1.2, and a crap load of run off) just to make sure any salts were washed out a few days ago. Suppose flushed can mean several things i probably should have pointed out what i meant by it.

Anyway hopefully a week in good conditions should do the job, thanks for the advice.
