Day 28: Been busy recently and have not been tending to my girl. Last couple days, I noticed the pistil tips on the shorter flowers turning brown and falling off. About 40% of the sites are experiencing some pistil death. I found it interesting how the main colas don't have this problem on the top parts, but just a little browning at the bottom. Naturally, I suspected the lights being too close, but they've been at 12" in prior weeks and I don't see any discoloration on leaves. Checked PH and am not surprised that it went down to 4.0 level, despite replenishing with fresh tap water last night to 6.0. Today is also 2 weeks since I refreshed my reservoir, and I always get extreme PH fluctuations at the end. Not sure what the deal is. Changed reservoir and raised lights to be cautious. Trichome production is evident on all the top as little crystals line the sugar leaves.

Should I grow 12 colas in a 2x4 space with 300W equivalent LEDs? Nodes 1 3 5?

I think it would be better to try to keep the size around 2x3 to make sure you get enough light intensity to all the buds. The bud density will suffer if there isn't enough light. You would probably have to add a second light to supplement your 300 watt to get enough light to do a 2x4.

Do you guys know any tricks to get my plant to grow taller? Goal is to increase space in between nodes. I've tried raising the LEDs to 30 inches for a few days. Also tried leaving it in complete darkness for 24 hours.

Hi @NASATrainer! What makes plants stretch: 1/ dark cycles, you can increase your night duration up to 14 hours with 10 hours of light, 2/ nitrogen, you could add some more Nitrogen during the stretch phase, but be careful not to over-do, a plant stunted with Nitrogen during flowering will result in weird buds or 'the claw'. 3/ plant-to-lamp distance, increasing this value should result in vertical growth, as the plant will look for more light. Hope this will help, keep us updated and happy growing! 👊

Any ideas what is causing some pistils to turn brown and crisp on my lower bud sites? Especially the ones in the middle of the crater. Taller bud sites not affected, and leaves are healthy.

Hi there @NASATrainer your plants are fine the browning off of pistils is a completely normal occurence and will continue as the buds mature. If they were all to suddenly change colour then you could have experienced pollination but I don't beleive it's the case with your your plants. Best of luck with the grow Mate

Purple leaves -- copper deficiency due to pH falling below 5.0 for a few days? Or natural color coming out due to light and age? Thoughts?

I think she is beautiful! Looks like she is reaching the end of her life cycle fading out nicely. The leaves are heavy on nitrogen though. I would cut all of the nitrogen out of the feed if you havent already. Looks like she is close and going to be some killer smoke.
