problems with leaf control

nitrogen toxicity, you are feeding it too much


This is misleading, it's because the plant is shaded in areas and can't process the nutrients... if you look at the whole plant you'll see where there is light there are not real problems. It's the crap lighting on the sides (zero side light) and bright light in the middle.

He's not even adding nutrients if you read the posts, ffof isn't THAT hot...

Again I must state the fact that I have never used LEDs before but will say after building the burble grow light I will stick with cool- warm white lights a little easier on the eyes did add a far red 100w to flower area tho to see it's effects planing to put a 30w COB in that gap too just waiting on my 200w 6a power boost module to use as power supply at least I think that should work to power other boost converters for the lights will see if not i'll try something else!

Look at the leaf hanging down over the blue lable... nearly in total darkness lolololol. Then the middle of the plant is super bright... does that look evenly lit to you?

With the door closed won't light reflect off material on the door or should light be on door?

The plants look good. I feed when they start to yellow up. Some people measure everything, all kinds of boosters and it's too much, for me. I have developed quiet the close bond and an eye for what my girls need.

The problem with FFOF isn't that its "hot" is that you can get a bag that isn't mixed properly. I use nutes with FFOF from week one all the way through to finish. I do dump and mix the bags along with adding pearlite. I think the issues people have had is hot pockets in the bags that are not mixed in completely.
Sorry it's Happy Frog!!!!

Thanks considering the conditions it has to live in she looks alright but needs a little help so I will flush!

Oh
[QUOTE="blackgolem, post: 13311512, Posting I now think that being near the intake fans could be causing this because I see now other abnormalities wavy leaves some trying to protect themselves against the wind... Cold temps when lights out too!!
This is not the case, unless they are whipping around, and I doubt that. My girls sit in front of a 20 inch box fan and dance all day happily.[/QUOTE]
Okay that's good to know thanks 4 input

You came here with a problem not knowing the cause... I told you the cause... clearly there is a issue.
To me it's clear as can be what the problem is.

Do whatever you want I don't care to keep repeating myself on this. Listen to the other peeps if you want it's not my grow but if it was I'd have a shit load more light sources because that is stupid to have such uneven light distribution.

Live and learn, keep doing it like this and you'll learn what light starvation looks like..

I think there are a few issues that may be contributing here, this is what I think they may be...
First your using a single powerful light, so it's bright with a bunch of shadowy areas. Plants hate that. I'm gonna bet that this leaf came from a dim area.
Second, it doesn't look like a very good container... most likely needed more drain holes drilled into it, but it's better to buy a new pot instead of fixing it now. You want something you can't see threw, the light getting in can make stuff grow around the root zone that is bad for plant health. When I buy a container, I drill maybe 200 holes in it for that size. Seriously, a hole every 1/4 inch on 1/4 drill bit. And that coveres the bottom and 2 inches up the side, clay pebbles covering the bottom and also mixed into the dirt.

Last, it may be Temps or poor air exchange, but try adding side lighting before messing with this last option.

Goodluck
Answered another members statements about lighting as well as yours so I'm repeating myself and it's cool. I am planning to stick a 30w COB in the middle that might help tell me something though off subject kinda, if I have a 200w 6a power boost module with output of say 12-55vdc can I supply power to 4 devices needing 12vdc to function? math states that it equals out to like 13.75v between them just asking while I have your attention or something like that.
