New Grower Worried about my plants
- Thread starter BottleToke
- Start date
Different strains prefer different conditions, some prefer a slightly moister "tropical" environment, some like a drier "equatorial" environment, some prefer a cooler "temperate" environment.
It's something many are unaware of when buying seeds because they don't actually look to see what the specific strain prefers, so when you have a "mix" of strains it's quite normal for one to react completely differently to others just with the light, humidity and temperature levels.
Yeah figured it was an issue like that. I regret planting different strains, but live and learn
Personally, I wouldn't worry too much. Although different strains have "ideal" conditions, the range they can grow in is quite large.
So once you get things dialled in properly, and even if you had planted all the same strain you would still see differences, I reckon you'll come good because, as others have said, they don't look really distressed at all.
But it's something to remember for the future, just be aware of what the breeder says regarding the "ideal" environment and you'll be able to get multiple strains that will be quite happy under the same conditions.

hi and 
@BottleToke 
looks like they just got a bit warm,plants in soil dont do anything overnight,takes 3-7 days for things to correct themselves.as for the cut leaf,just a random act.
looking good for 11 days
been lurking for some time or first day here ?

Plants still seem to be suffering from what I think is light burn... I have backed the lights up to 36 In. Lighting is still not great I know, but I took a few closer pictures. Will do my best on my day off to setup better lighting for pictures. I have been trying to keep the humidity around 45-55% but its pretty dry in my area so I have put a humidifier in the tent with them. Temps ranging from 72-80 F.
Plants that seem to be having the issue on are on the outside. Middle Plants seem to love as much light as I can throw at them. Very light curve at all. This is day 14. Other than this they seem to be doing fine. Last two waterings have been straight water, no nutes. Getting bigger very quickly. Tent is already starting to smell skunky.
Should I back the lights off even more or could something else be causing the issue?

TBH, I'm of the opinion that you DON'T PANIC!
I've seen me have plants where the "older" leaves behaved just like that and they pulled through with no issues.
Now, you say the ones on the "outside" are suffering more so that, in my mind, rules out any sort of "light burn" as, obviously, the light is more concentrated in the middle. I start to wonder how your circulation fans are set, as in blowing directly onto the plants, and if there's no circulating fans then I wonder about how the A/C is pulling air around things.

I have a small 6 Inch osculating fan that is turning the air. It blows over the plants but does move them around. I also have two small 4 inch clip fans on each side of the tent blowing a slow breeze over them .
I do have a exhaust/filter fan setup. I have a passive intake, the flaps open on the bottom of the tent.
Now that you mention it I have the air flow moving from the sides of the tent over the most affected plants. Should I close this off and leave just one vent open in the back of the tent? Will that be enough passive air flow for the plants?

They dont seem held back any,growing good just look a bit funny.dont panic,ugly babies often grow out of it.
When garfen is going well all is good,if garden not so good,checking ph is number 1 tool.
Keep er lit

This is where the fun starts, for when you close some of the intakes you increase the volume coming in the others which will strengthen the "draft" coming through there which could have an effect you don't want. But now I know you're using a tent the thought goes to the temperature/humidity of the air being sucked in, and if that is the trigger
