Light bleaching ?

[Chevyroad245]

There was no need to chop at all! That is nothing to do with light bleaching, or as someone mentioned, sulfur deficiency! That was your main cola, it was closest to the light, so it grew the hardest and thus, taking some extra nutes from the leaves to maintain its stronger growth. By chopping it, you killed it, what's the point to chop something that still has at least 2 weeks to go? You won't get any potency from it anyways, might as well give it to the squirrels! When you see posts like this, 'ph is fucked up', you have to learn that these are cluless people taking wild stabs in the dark with no info to back their 'advice' lol...you follow blind advice like that, and you end up like you did, with a chopped main cola that is now useless to smoke, use it for butter.
I've grown in miracle gro as well, with slow release nutes..the plants grew amazingly! One has to understand how plants grow and how to feed them what and how much! A successful grower can grow in sand with few amendments! This myth of miracle gro being a disaster is just that, folklore! Most people can't grow a cactus here, so they will look to blame anything and everything for the failure of a crop..it's not the dirt stunting the plants, it's that most people have very little knowledge about plant growth and the science behind it!

Well now I know next grow . Thanks for the info

I'm not refuting or anything, just curious about what you're saying here. Why would the cola pull nutes from the leaves closest to it and not the ones towards the bottom?

Because not all elements are mobile nutes, the ones that are immobile will not be pulled from the bottom! Which means he may be a bit low on micros that are heavier (iron, zinc, copper, manganese) or the light is simply a bit too much for that one cola that seems highest, and it's trying all it can to maintain growth. When you see yellowing localized like that, especially when it's to the main cola only, seems obvious it's not light burn as it would bleach alot more, it's because that one part is getting more light than any other part of the plant and growth is focused to that part the most.

That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the response!

In nature it won't happen really as the leaves move with the breeze and of course the sun 'moves' across the sky, but indoors, most growers will not have light movers on their setup, so some leaves, especially upper ones, don't get to move around and get shaded, they get the same light, focused to the same part of the leaf all day long, so it's more common to happen.

Yeah, I've been noticing this problem with a QB I recently purchased and knew it wasn't a nitrogren issue but couldn't figure out what was going on. I might need to grab a light mover now. Those QBs are surprisingly intense.

When you switch to top notch lighting, like quantum boards, for sure you will need to adjust your feeds, plants are growing at their peak!
