Hi there I really need some advice my plants got burned by the light and there a month into flowering. This is my 1st grow and really need some advice? Do I need to take more of the leaves off? I took all the burned ones off. Thanks.

Howdy John boy,
The damage that I see looks more like some nutrient burn to me. Light burn, in my experience, happens mostly on the upper leaves closest to the lights and is more wide spread on the leaf, some times in the middle of the leaf. The brown leaf tips is more of an indication of over feeding. Are you growing in soil or hydro? Also what kind and wattage of light are You using and how far is it above the plants?
Over all Your plants look healthy and look like they are ok.
I grow in a hydroponic set up and I use CFLs. I have had both like burn (usually during the vegetative stage and during the flowering stretch) and I keep them fed and have a little 'neut' burn. I trim off the light burned leaves, but no the 'neut' burned tips.
Good luck with your grow.Smoke weed,.....grow peace! -
WD2 thanks for your input I'm growing in soil and I am using CFLs also. I've got my light now 2 feet away I thought it was light burn cos my plants took a stretch and where touching my lights I am using 250w CFL 2700k. Thanks for your input mate really appreciate it what do you think I should do then if it's nutrient burn? I've had them on just PH water for 5 days nowComment

I try to keep my lights about 4-6 inches above the plants. If You keep the light too far away, they will stretch towards them, just gage the distance by placing Your hand under the light and feel the heat, if it is uncomfortable to Your hand, then it is too close for the plants (from the GWE site). Not being a 'soil' person (except for a 'dirty' mind, LOL) I do not know how One should handle the nutrient burn, other than what You are doing.
Good luck with Your grow.

What is ur RH because that can play a role in how much nutes ur plants drink if ur rh is low ur plants drink more if it's normal 40rh than that's not the issueComment

I use soil and I find the best way to get rid of nute burn is to fully flush ur system with ph water and let it dry out then feed with half nutes. Do u have any perlight/ how's ur drainage because u dnt wanna over water ur plant and drown em. I ask about perlight because it's awesome in soil I use 1/3 and it doesn't matter if I add 1 gal of water per pot over half flows out for really nice drainageComment

The parts of the leaves that have turned color can no longer pull in sun so I pluck the discolered part of the leaf off. This helps figure out if u have any more nute burn and still allows ur plant to pull in more light unless u could use some defol then just pull the whole burnt leafsComment

Any leaf that gets nute burn wount turn back green.Comment

Hey John boy how's ur drainage for the soil?Comment
