Looks fantastic bro! Nice as always.

Just wanted to say thanks to your wonderful AutoCobs I was able to pull a decent yield off of my first ever grow. Me a complete growing noob have what I consider to be some great buds just about dry!

I'm at a loss for words my man.

That bud is one of the nicest I have seen yet. Don't thumbnail them!

They show a lot more than just the lights above. They show the hard work and passion you put into them bro. If this is truely your first grow I'd be ecstatic. Let this trial motivate you to do better. If that's even possible. You'll mess it all up eventually, and hopefully learn on the journey. If I was you I'd stick to it and expand as you can. This is first hand talent that shouldn't go to waste. Max f-ing rep for you!

I'm not crying, you're crying! You're too kind Sm0!

Not necessarily a side by side. This is some serious stuff I'm busting my ass trying to figure out. Co2 is up between 1000-1300, temps hovering at 80 degrees. Humidity is steady at 55%. Good air flow too.

Feeding is the same as always 2 gallons every other day whether they need it or not. They usually do. Always ph'd at 6.2 with the blue lab guardian and double checked with a blue lab pen. I do hold off on the bloom nutrients as long as possible to get them as big as I can. They are pretty big now. 6 plants in a 4x12 space and the scrog almost full. With the weaving and training they are still 4-18" above the net.

Feeding has also been 2 tsp per gallon.
I did 2 feeds were 1 tsp per gallon
And back to 2 tsp per gallon.


Sooooo here it is. The camera did adjust and the yellowing is worse than it looks.

450 watts over a 4x4.
Not much green left

350 watts over a 4x4
80% green

110 watts over a 3x3 it is a 4x4 but the plants not taking up the whole space.
99% green

I have also completely covered them in optic foliar numerous times in the past few weeks to try and bring the color back and reverse this.

@Waira maybe can help cause I know you know what you are doing so this is kinda crazy

:smoking: Sm0' buddy, can you get me some regular light close-up's please? ...review your feeds for me too,... how far away are the COB's? ... just looking, possibles include S, P, micronute/combo defc.'s, and/or lights too close (sub-frying, intense enough to damage, but not literally fry),... how pale are the lower fans?

Thanks for popping in Waira!

The nutrients I use are flora duo A&B

The microbe line. Primarily photo synthesis and the all in one.

There are also a few additions. From general hydro but at very low dosages. Calmag as well.

The lights are all as far away as they can be. The 450 watt light is 36" away and the worst off. The 350 watt light is 30" and not as bad and the 110 watts is 20" away and looks great.

450 watt close up close

350 watt close up

I always get some yellowing but this is by far the worst looking I have seen yet. The tops are worse off too. Not sure about the very bottom as I lollipopped them

Things haven't been the best in here. Trying to figure what I did differently should be simple but it's not as easy as I thought. Buds are forming and the harvast looks like it will be good but it won't win any beauty contests. The main difference between this grow and the last is time. I usually spend an hour a day if not more in here, now I'm an hour a week.

Got a new blue lab soil ph meter this week. It came back good at 6.0-6.2 I know I shouldn't but I'm also changing the nutrients up. As I water everything off one reservoir the younger plants will benefit from the early change. Few improvements thanks to @Waira

Sm0' buddy! Pardon, I lost track of things- .... As per PM: yeah, add Ca-Mg first, or if the Si instructions say add it first, do that first instead,.. adding Ca-Mg first is more about not having the CaCO3 cross react with a couple other things, and as it's a buffering agent, should be in there before nutes, not after,... as always, pH adjust last... better if things sit for a few minutes or so to react and stabilize,... Inoculants will help I believe,... Consider using an enzyme product too, with synthetics, that's even more important since the herd isn't at it's best with them,..

Looking way better Sm0', at least in these pics! This late in the game, it's not so much about "fixing" symptoms, as it is halting or slowing them,.. the demands at this stage are high, leaf tapping is going on, and all that, so leaves won't show much apparent improvement,.. but likely, if you did nothing or F'ed up, we wouldn't have much in the way of leaves to even talk about!
..that monster 450W unit,.. no dimmer? it's no coincidence that the worst plants were under the strongest lights, best under the milder intensity,.... it all links together mate, trouble in one place can cascade onto others, or if things are really edgy, knock the keystone loose on an avalanche of problems,... ........... mmmm, buds are chunking up nicely indeed,.. who needs good looking fans anyway?

 

[derek420colorado]

I concur. They are lookin better!

We grow buds not leaves so that's why I defoliate in my grows. You're doing fine bro @BigSm0 you just under estimated the intensity of your lights is all and the pictures show it. I found it easier to burn the plants with the 3500K 1812's than the 6500K 1212's........in veg the 1212's have been on my leaves like a T5 with no issue.
