Hi there.

As youl see by the pics one of my plants has suffered some pretty bad heat stress. But this being my first grow and not knowing much of the implications of heat stress and other problems plant issues have on yeild etc. Im wondering how bad this is, and what the outcome will be.

The strain is hawaiian snow and is on week 9 since showing sex. Its a 13 week strain.

Lately iv some odour issues that have taken up most of my time, as youl understand odour control was more important than plant health unfortunatly.
Also because iv had to acheive better negative pressure by pretty much sealing my tent up to control the odour a bit more,but i havnt been getting much fresh air in there. The tents in my cupboard and have no active intake so i dont get alot of fresh air in at the best of times. The temps have been sitting about 85 and hit 90 at one point.
I now have a rhino in there and the smell seems to be takin care of, touch wood. I have one of my passive flaps open for now and also i have a drybox that iv made with a 80mm pc fan blowing along about a 2 foot of ducting into my tent, not drying any bud, just doin like a dummy run.

I also got a heat shield that has brought my temps back down to around 80f. Using a 250w. In a dr60 extracting with a rvk100.

But as you can see the damage has been done. Even some of the little leaves right in at the bud are brown n crispy. My reflector is as high as it will go. I still have a few buds that look a bit healthier, but quite a few airy ones to. Is this just a sativa thing though ?

So what does this mean ? Can still continue to grow this out and see what its like ? Its not at the killing stage yet is it ?

I have a lemon skunk thats looking pretty tasty about to be harvested any day now thankfully.

Youl notice quite a bit of yellowing n stuff on some of the leaves. I havd a bit of a mag def a while back and not sure if i ever realy fixed it totally, and two of the main shoots never seemed to recover a bit like the rest of the plant did , and they have really red stems. So the state of the leafs may be a mixture of heat and a deficiency }

Thanks for reading. :leaf:

well there not much you can do. if its brown and crisp to the touch clip it off. the good thing is it didnt burn any buds from what i can see and it only affects some spots. so clean up them spots and finish the grow thats really all you can do.

Lol phaze. Only a 5 you say ? wow, would hate to see a 10.

Speaking of 10, i give you 10/10 for creativity :-P

Just hope iv caught this in time and the quality hasnt suffered too much as im really looking forward to trying my first sativa. Misplaced my microscope but iv found it now, gonna check the trichs at the badly affected areas to see how they are looking tomorrow at lights on.
