Hi folks, I am on my second grow at the moment - which is almost finished. This is my first Hydro grow, thought I would give it a try.
Just one plant which is an - Auto Think Different from Dutch Passion in a Hydro bucket.
Under 600watt HPS - had it that high maybe once - which might have caused the plant issues - usually kept at 400 or 250watts.
Now, From what I can tell plants almost always finish at the top rather than bottom or sides parts?
The top of my plant got a little heat stressed at one point a few weeks ago - and the main cola got abit damaged. But things didnt look to bad, not a great deal of damaged leaves or bud. What I did do is trim the damaged main cola maybe 1cm of it wasnt much not sure if that was the right thing to do, it was beyond saving that very top, so thought taking the damaged bud off would help?
My plant is in week 13 and the sides are looking almost finished i would say but the top cola's have barely any orange hairs mostly white and less thc/snow.
I had a house inspection and had to hide the plant in the cupboard for an hour + with the air pump off which stressed it a wee bit also.
Im now worried ive damaged the top cola's to much they have perhaps lost or not producing as much crystals .
The hairs on the top where never orange at any point i dont think, so its not as if they got bleached back to white, But Im not sure if I have still managed to bleach them?
Being my first hydro grow - and think different seed - i left it alone to see what it would do - no training.
The plant got a little out of hand TBH its pretty big didnt expect it to grow so tall and is maybe a little too close to the lights.
The plant is about inches away from the light.
Temperature around 30c most time, didnt seem to have any issues with nutrients.
Here are some pictures - Anyone had similar issues or advice would be great, thanks
Its maybe hard to tell with these pictures, anyone with orange are the side /lower branches
the last picture is the main cola i cut the top off slightly, made a new growth a little weird
