6 weeks of flowering, heat stress! :(

[bonghole]

Hi, Hello you all, I'm new here on the forum

Ok, my girl is 6 weeks into flowering, I've been using cfl's and she has been so healthy and sparkling with cristales, no problems at all... UNTIL NOW I have one exaust fan (computer fan) and I have been using some fish filter carbon thing to reduce the smell. I changed this filter last saturday and it clearly blocked the exaust and my plant got very burned...

Do you guys think she is ruined?? Or will she be alright? Will this affect the potency? Should I harvest now or should I wait and see if she'll get better?

I am so devastated right now, I've actually had nightmares about this situation! So every comments are well appreciated!

I don't think that is heat stress, look like your Nutes are locked out to me? Have you done a PH test run off. That would be where I would start. I would foliar feed with some organics Nutes like sea weed or something and bring them back from the stress. Do not forget to turn primary lights off and let them dry completely and then turn lights back on for about a weekw hiles feeding them. What are your temp's and how close are you lights? Your the K.I.S.S, Method

peace

thanks skunkharvester for your reply.

What do you meen by:

Do not forget to turn primary lights off and let them dry completely and then turn lights back on for about a week whiles feeding them

Should I not continue the 12/12 lightning?

I must admit, I have no idea what the PH levels are or what the temperature is... it has been going so well I did not see the point in checking :b
Isn't nute burne caused by the nutes burning the roots? The one I'm using guaranties that it can't burn the roots.

I thought it was heat stress for sure because I'm not dooing anything different from what I have been doing the whole time, except for changing the filter...

If it was just nute burn, then you'd see the tips of your leafs turning yellow. You clearly have spots of yelling forming on the edges, randomly in the middle, twisting leaves - thats not nute burn. Only way your going to fix it is to flush and see what your ph is and then correct it. Sorry dude but thats what you have to do, plain and simple.


Your right around the perfect time you want to do your final flush to get all the nutes out. Do your final flush, and in the last two weeks the plant will use nutrients stored in the plant, leaving you with a better smoke when you pick it.

ok, thx man... but do you think this will affect the potency of my buds?

You turn off your lights for two reasons: First it will shock the piss out of you if the water hit's the light's the wrong way or may cause the bulb to explode and send and electrical arc that was meant to ignite the light and cause it to ground on your ass. Second, the water sitting on the leaves prior to drying acts like a magnifying glass and will cause more stress on your leaves damaging them. it only takes about 20 minutes and then resumes your normal light schedule.

Nutes and PH will cause burn in different parts of the plant. Spend the money and get a PH pen tester to adjust your PH checking it against you run off results.

If your talking about flushing prior to harvesting, no it wont affect the potency. What it will do is use all of the nutrients in the bud, nutrients that you would otherwise be smoking when you picked the plant. In the end it helps with taste, the way it burns, and smell.

I was suggesting a flush because if you dont have a meter, you could at least go buy some water thats been through an r/o filter so that after you flush, your soil would be in a better range than it looks like its in right now.

Not nute burn sorry, Nute and or PH Deficiency I think add some epsom salt if it where me...Six weeks depending on the strain may need to harvest. It will take about 10days to resolve all of this if you start now.

Ok, would it be bad to harvest now, while the plant is like this? The tricomes are starting to turn amber...

and isn't it possible that she just got burned because of the heat and lack of oxygen? It was very hot in there... I felt it when I opened the closet, the only exhauste fan I have was nearly blocked..?

If that is the case... what would be the solution?
