Boss says these look overwatered...

Newer irrigation system installed. I was out for 2 days sick and the owner is walking around. I'm getting called saying "these plants.. there's something wrong". So I entertain him and ask him to explain... somehow he looks at the plants in these pictures and gets the idea they are overwatered. Then picks up the pots and starts telling me some are "too heavy"... now all of what he's saying doesn't seem to have any real correlation to anything but just a sanity check here. These plants look very happy do they not?.?

We also just started Day 21 defoliation. (Why some plants are stripped and others not quite yet)

Boss man needs to check his eyes

Sounds like boss man needs to hire another grower to cover for sick days

@Grojak respectfully, how is that relevant? (Even tho we do have a lead guy and assistant in each unit)

If you had another grower there, he wouldn't need to bother you on your days off....

Touche' lol

Sounds like boss man wants to fault you for being sick. You could tell him when the leaves are pointing up like that the plants are dialed in. Is there a co-worker out for you?

They look fine but the new irrigation system might need tweaked

The system has been running for 3 weeks. Now of course things are still being tweaked in but he's acting like it's not working at all everything is overwatered and he's gonna LOSE THE ROOM! That seems like the furthest thing from reality

Right but he could be correct on pots weighing heavy which would make sense if the system was set up then you defoliated slowing consumption temporarily

They were in the middle of defoliating the room.. but again it's always being tweaked a bit..especially with it being relatively new

Saying the pots seem heavy and saying the room is gonna be lost are totally different things

Looks great, but do I see a minor K issue starting to show its head? Especially in the last pic. Discoloration around the margins. Still better than anything Id be capable of by a long shot.

in the first pic there's issues (clawing) that could lead to the assumption of overwatering, and in the 4th pic you see leaf margin & tip burn or discoloration but it's hard to give a professional evaluation lool when you dont do close ups or just defoliated and not show bottom fans...

So we had a pest rear it's head and sprayed pretty aggressively this week. There's were 2 days that the lights came on sooner than they shldve after spraying. I've attributed some of the discoloration to that.. @Kassiopeija

Also the plants in photo 1 have what appears to be clawing from nutrient buildup not overwatering...is that not the nitrogen claw??

I agree, something is off. The tip burn/yellowing around edges and the leaf clawing are a concern. It's most likely just that the new system needs to be dialed in, and it's entirely possible the boss was right and they are being overwatered.

see post #4, if your boss man won’t pay for knowledgeable help that’s on him, not you.

Too much N. Burnt tips and clawing. They don't look overwatered, just overfed.
