Not sure whats causing this... Its Cinderella99 its on day 43 of flower... Im useing cyco platinum series nutes... Lights are 1 mars hydro 192 reflector series with 2 mars hydro 300's so just over 700 watts.. 150 watts each for the 300's and 420 watts for the 192. Im growing Green Crack with it and its not doing this... Any help would be appreciated thanks20170712_154009.jpg 20170713_075314.jpg

Weak lighting. The leaves are stretching for all they're worth and the bud growth is sparse.

That's typical Mars Hydro results.

Is it hot in your room? I'm guessing you're referring to the odd cola growth?

Yes the odd tips on colas. I dont think its the lights this is my third grow with these and this odd shape is a first for me... And also my green crack is right beside it with normal growth... My temps never leave the 70's... Bottoms of the colas are thick but for some reason they started doing it.

Just a genetic issue then. Live n learn like you said.

...and also maybe, with the lower than optimal light, the current feed is too high for processing and she's about to overload on food, is what I think I see as well.

No, you don't.

The MarsHydro 300 is actually only a 130 watt lamp. You're maxed out at only 275 watts from those. The MH192 is only a 275 watt light on average, which is really only good enough for about two plants at most.

You have nowhere near enough light to run that large an area and that many plants effectively.

Best of luck then. There's a very good reason those lights are so damn cheap.

I get that there not the best out there but my point is... This is my third grow with all this equipment. Never had this happen johnei made a good point. This is my fist go with the cyco nutes.

And the idea that very cheap lights you're aging at a pretty rapid rate from consecutive grows couldn't possibly be getting weaker, losing spectrum and causing any issues at all.

OK. Gotcha.
