Leaves are dying

[Kgbdemon]

https://imgur.com/a/jjCj58s started happening a week ago I am in the 7th week of flower using 700watt led. Flushing untill harvest if it is even worth waiting.. Had bad fungas gnats just got then controlled this week

[NAKEDGARDENER]

Could be the result of the treatment for fungus gnats, also how close is your light, that LED will need to be way up above the canopy by more than 3 feet

[NAKEDGARDENER]

Or also if you are flushing now, then your leaves are gonna turn yellow and start wilting hard, flush only for the last week before cropping

[Kgbdemon]

I cannot move the light any higher can i move it every few hours? I am hoping to harvest next week sometime should i cut all the dead off?

[NAKEDGARDENER]

You could remove it since it’s not doing any good now defoliation is normal during this time and you want as little leaf on the colas as possible just leaving a few fan leaves on each cola

[NAKEDGARDENER]

Can you post some pics.?

[Kgbdemon]

I posted one it wont let me upload here.. There are 0 fan leaves that are alive thats the issue.. They all died at the top the pic is in the first post

[Kgbdemon]

Imgur wont let me upload either...

[Kgbdemon]

Ah had to screen shot the pics to make em small so the forum would take em

[NAKEDGARDENER]

To be fair if you are cropping them next week you are good to go there, they will be fine, buds look frigging great

[Kgbdemon]

Thanks man

[NAKEDGARDENER]

Kgbdemon i would probably be tempted to just take off the worst ones and hit those buds with the red light you’re already giving

[Kgbdemon]

Like turn off the grow light just leave on the bloom? That would be okay?

[Kgbdemon]

I forgot to mention it is a clone

[NAKEDGARDENER]

No keep em on, they want it, as long as the buds are doing good you’re all set, does the LED HAVE A bloom setting, I’m sure that it does

[NAKEDGARDENER]

Small doses of U.V light is beneficial for making the buds create more Trichomes, which we want a lot of, the plants natural defense from that type of radiation, but in general hitting them with enough to not push them over the edge is what I do and am introducing a u.v. Lamp for this harvest, just 15 mins an hour on a 12/12.

[DankwingDuck]

If you wanna boost the trics drop the humidity in the room below 30% the buds will tric up to trap the moisture in the bud. The lower the humidity the better .

[Kgbdemon]

I think the low humidity could have attributed to this lol. Its crispy in there

[NAKEDGARDENER]

Kgbdemon great, then all I can add is that if you haven’t looked up really close to the color of your trichomes yet then buy either an electric microscope or a cheaper option would be a jewelers loupe, check for clearness and milkiness, but I am sure you have done this already.

[Kgbdemon]

Have a 420 scope on the way i snipped a nug off the bottem and used my usb microscope the bottem was 20 cloudy 80 clear looks like the top is far more ripe... Hoping for a swell this week if it will even do that in flush.. Im pretty new at this

[NAKEDGARDENER]

Well once properly cured the high will be a nice speedy kinda high I think def not couch locky, prob very chatty stuff, As I say you may consider adding one u.v. T5 flourescent into the mix next time, one lamp is only $60

[NAKEDGARDENER]

I hope it works out well as I am sure it will well done on the colas, and keep us informed

[Kgbdemon]

Will do thanks!
