I'm seeing some amber but not much. Looks like most have cleared up tho. Looks like they are starting to burn. Not sure if it's nute or heat. Maybe both. image.jpgimage.jpg image.jpg image.jpg

did you duct location change, the reflection from it can burn the shit out of your plants.

Those burned ones are directly under the bulb. I like I should have continued tucking so I had more room between the light and bud. I'm maxed out now at about a foot above

alright at least you got a handle on it. one rule of thumb that works real well is to put you hand at the top of the plant and hold it there for just a few minutes and if it burns you the light is to close. even at that light intensity can be very bad as well. you may want to get your fan blowing just over the tops to act as a heat buffer, if you can`t get the light high enough.
now that we know what it is its time to fix or repair the damage we can and let the baby finish healthy. there are a few ways to look at it to help the plant. first is do nothing and just let the plant try and heal itself all the way to the finish.you could cut the whole damaged area off, that leaves just a small spot where the steam was to heal. also you could cut the burn area on the leaf off and let the plant try and heal that small area. then there's a combo of all 3. i`am sure you could find some other way of dealing with but there not a lot you can do those areas that are kinda white looking are going to turn brown and the leaf will die. if you want i can put some marks on that pic and give you an idea of what can be saved and whats is going to die no matter what you do for it.

ok this is what i would do in this case. where i`ve marked in red they are sure to die and i would just cut as close to the stem as i could, the places i marked in yellow is where i would think is saveable if the damage is removed at those lines, where i marked in pink i think will make it to the end, not positive but enough so to let them try. now this is just to give you an idea of how i would handle it, and its not a cut in stone way of doing it.

I will trim them tomorrow. I think I'm going to mount a fan on the wall above the canopy next time. I usually just sit a 4" fan on my wire but with this grow I ran out of room. Funny it didn't burn till now. It made it like 4 weeks without the fan blowing. Maybe 600w is too much.

didn`t you have to bump the screen up this grow to fit the new pot in there? well the buds all up there and the air is just not moving as it was a few weeks ago.
i went into a panic thinking it was something i said that caused it. i went back to where we had talked about the pushing the nute to hard, i think there may have been some communication problems there. i`am going to mark that pic to show what i saw and exactly why i said it. it is something you need to be able to identify.

the very tip of the leaf is what i seen and this is a good indicator you are pushed to the limit.

i wouldn`t do away with the 600 yet, try moving the fan and see what happens. if it stays to hot, then swap lights and rework things after harvest.

I'm pretty sure it's light burn. It's been around 92 degrees. Last grow wasn't that bad. I'll just have to keep a circulation fan running up top from now on.

The more I look at it I think it's nute burn. I think I know what happened too. I had been using roughly 4 gallons to feed and was getting a lot of run off so I cut back to 2.5 to 3 gallons. I'm thinking it might have built up some nutes. I was getting a good flushing before.

with all the whiteness and where it is most everything is at the top or so it looks in the pics, is what leads me to think its light burn. light burn is a like sunburn except for turning red it seem to bleach the pigment out of the leaves. once that green goes white look it wont come back. you maybe right about the nute burn. do you have any other burning other than whats pictured?

i`am not sure about that. is there a pattern to where the burn is on the canopy. when you made the changes for this run what all did you move?
