    Default My leafs are burning. in flowering period.would reducing light speed up flowering?

    Hello guys...this is my first grow..and the first buds have started to grow..unfortunately I started growing my plants indoors and since the electricity bills were quite high I had to cut my lighting and put the plants next to my window so they could grow with sunlight. I transferred the plants when flowering started...

    now the plants are flowering but the leafs are burning under the sunlight.... (this is what I think the problem is).... so I clearly have to reduce light intensity... is it a good idea to put my plants in a really shadowy area??under a desk??or in a cave or something similar I read somewhere that flowering your plants using a low concentration of light is better...please help---what should I do?

    here are some pics...the majority of my leafs in one plant have now burnt

    Do you have it in a window with a screen?

    Maybe think about just lowering the intensity of the light...haha possibly very light window tint. Like 65% of something

    Electric should have been much figure 2 48 inch florescent shop light on 24 hours for veg would be what 5 bucks a month and then a 400 hps on 12/12 is about 10-20 a month???You need 12 hours of solid dark and 12 of bright light so figure out your best option to get those times

    i am under the impression that the only light source you have is the sun from your window, if this is so there is almost no way that this could cause burning of the leaves. it could be nutrient burn, or something else, but i do not think that the sun is buring it.

    uv is expensive and doesn't do anything if you had a high bill and those were on those are definently the problem i have like 1000w worth of light and live with my grandma and she didn't even notice a jump in the bill.

    dude just go to a local super market and look for lights with low wattige and high lumens lumens are the light out put so high lumens equals high output equals flowering buy the lights and put em on ur babys for 12/12

    The sun didnt burn those leaves... Unless the window is old and in that cause it could possibly focus the sunlight through the uneven glass. BUT i'm guessing its what your feeding them! NUTE BURN! Flush your soil, and put them under some energy saving CFL bulbs. they are cheap and they dont use much energy. turn you house lights off when u can, turn off the TV and read a book. there no way to flower any plant in a window seal and expect them to have any smoke worth a shit. Sorry man... Good luck
