Indoor help , why does this keep happening?

[Waira]

no worries! So, some may finish rather quickly due to the stresses and recent back-off of nutes,.. some are further behind than others, new pics show... It's difficult to tell in pics sometimes! I'd say now that the ones with the worst leaves are further along than I thought from what the previous pics showed,... I'd be checking trichome ripeness on the more mature looking ones, with a fair amount of the pistils now dried and colored up; look at several buds, on calyxes, not sugar leaves...Note how much cloudy and amber colored ones there are, vs. clear (immature)... for sure keep feeding the more white haired plants 1-2x more,...

Thanks- I have got a microscope hooked up in the grow room, hope these turn out. I'll try and do my grow the right way next time, thank you,thank you, thank you.

that's a fine crop. I have been growing with led indoors for ten years. and use a bunch of different panels, blackstar, popular grow, vipar, and some very cheap Chinese panels that I carefully pick off ebay.
most of the panels I have replaced recently I bought at auction on ebay.. spent 40 bucks they work well. you need a little rep slap.

looking forward to your harvest.

I bought some off eBay and I used them for 2 grows and then I took and turned them into a great cob light and I love the cobs so much more light...

M2017 I would love some better lights being on fixed income, ssdi disability I have no choice, I run four panels per tent. about 475 true watts per tent.

I just started using LED's, messed up real bad with nute's , a new guy to a legal state, lots to learn, the cob's on the right seems to grow better than the Platinum 300. I did a lot wrong, but I still think the cob side looks better.

..you know, I'm seeing more and more "connecting dots" to Ca, Mg, and micronute defc.'s linked to Platinum lights in particular, blurple LED in general,... COB less so, something about the fuller color spectrum perhaps,.. but until we see some science behind the why behind LED grown plants needing more Ca/Mg vs. other lighting, HID in particular, one can only speculate! I know Pt lights are powerful, go tone myself, and know several others who do,....but others with their lights have been reporting such increased issues when using them,... I distrust coincidence! ... could be they make certain existing problems worse, or trigger them in borderline cases,... a good friend is telling me about her troubles, similar to the plant on the left, fried leaves, course spotting,.. often part of P defc, so that can muddy the diagnostic waters,....

Wow, lot's of good info. I'm very new to these LED lights, and a legal state, don't know why it took so long to ask for help. I have way under fed my girl's, done some things wrong, but the COB's seem to grow a lot healthier plant than than the Platinum 300. I DON'T UNDERSTAND ALL THAT FANCY TALK AND SCIENCE, but I sure appreciate all the help you have given me. Can't wait for my next grow, thanks again-----

PS--- here are some new pic's- very Bottom small bud's--going on 7 wk's.

:drool: phaaaat! Nice pic's Rick, this is the view you need to asses things- ... I see mostly cloudy trich's, some clear, no amber really.... So to review, clear = immature; cloudy = ripe, max THC; amber = past prime, THC has begun to degrade into CBN, cannabinol... this has little psychoactivity, but does offer a narco-sleepy effect which some folks want; how much depends on the strain, personal preference,... personally, I don't go more than 15% regardless of "Sativa" and "Indica" because this degradation will continue over time, rate depends on how well it's stored away from light and warm T, O2 exposure,... I know folks who want a sleep hammer and take bud at 30+%! But the strain plays a big role in this too, or rather it's terpene profile... These are what give a specific strain or even pheno' it's buzz nature, nuances of the high... some terp's are energizing, clarifying, other sedating, relaxing,... other cannabinoids (if present) also add character to the buzz, even if not psychoactive themselves,... CBD, CBG, THCV.... I put quotes around Sativa and Indica because these are now just conventional terms, taxonomically incorrect,... not trying to get too technical mate, but this is good insight to keep in mind,... last I saw, all the hemp part of the cannabis family is under the sativa branch, all drug types are under the indica branch, regardless of narrow or wide leaf width,.... from there it's down to subspecies which the botanists will fight about now!

And I thought you just dropped a seed in the dirt, watered it, watch it grow. I guess there is just a Little more to it, thanks for helping all of us new ones that don't know the tricks of growing. It sure is nice when you've got some heavy-duty backup like you, the staff, and all the helpful people on this site. Guess i'll smoke a big bowl of some undernourished, over-ripe, burnt Girl Scout Cookies! I can't wait to try and grow a much better plant--------------
