So far, so good.
My outdoor plants are pest free these days -- thanks to ladybugs, lacewings, and tiny spiders.
I don't interfere unless it's absolutely necessary.

Ever have problems with bleached tips?I'm just trying to help you here..... I assume that's coco and it looks like it's probably drying out too much between feeding. Can't let coco dry out, it messes with the cation exchange capacity(CEC) For the plant size I would drop the ppm down to 450ish or even 400 and raise the pH to 6.3. I finish most of my plants in flower at 700 ish. I haven't found the need for a super low pH in coco compared to dwc.
This is my first run with LED.What are your lights? Are these buds or leaves that look bleached? I actually roasted a few plants on my first run with my cobs and didn't have any bleaching. But led's are prone to producing "hash tips" which looks like bleaching, on the buds if too close/intense. Some think it's bad, but I've also read that hash tips test higher in thc.
Goggle hash tips and see if it looks similar. I actually think their kinda cool. Sounds like you'll be able to form your own opinion soon, lol.This is my first run with LED.
A buddy upgraded and gave me his old platinum P900 (blurple).
Only the tips are bleached. Other than being white, they look normal.
It's been an interesting crop. The seeds were from my dirty socks pheno of CV triple nova.
Stretchy as fawk....![]()
They never really came to a conclusion.Here @Chunky Stool I just stumbled on this thread.

They never really came to a conclusion.
I'm thinking buds with no color probably have no flavor, but this is all new to me.
And I still don't know why it doesn't affect all of my plants.
This has been an experiment so my space is intentionally small.
I've got 1 LED light that only pulls 510w at the wall. (Advertising implies 900, of course.)
The spectrum is interesting; not normal blurple (blue/red). It's got orange diodes and even a few green ones.
Oh and it "bleeds" a tiny bit of light when used with my smart plug. (App says zero watts at the wall.)
Don't get me started about that...![]()
Did you get hurt? I know you wete showing the ktm a while back, you didn't go too big on those jumps did you?I believe the reason people are experiencing “hash tips” with LEDs is that they make intense light with out a lot of heat, there for not cooking the bud brown.
It is bleaching, I can make it happen with my DEs , from getting to close , but because I have so much air movement n xl AC am able to keep them from cooking , n they grow white.
When running numbers, I’m better off with tossing the bleached tips , then not growing the plants as big . but overall yield is more . View attachment 4383006
I think one day I’ll get this space to 2gpw
Last was only 1.6 , guessing the same for the one I just cut.
Been doing summer stuff , n not working in the garden.
Now that I’m going to be a cripple for a couple months , I’ll have time to figure it out .
That seems to be the common conclusion with this subject. I remember chemphlegm used to hold them in a high regard. Hell if I know, I've never had em.They never really came to a conclusion.

I think hash tips are different than bleached tips, but I get your point. And bummer man, what did you crash?I believe the reason people are experiencing “hash tips” with LEDs is that they make intense light with out a lot of heat, there for not cooking the bud brown.

Hate to hear you're laid up, get better soon buddy.
I don’t think they are different,I think hash tips are different than bleached tips, but I get your point. And bummer man, what did you crash?
That sucks to hear man. Dirt bikes are fun as hell but damn it's easy to get hurt on one.Thanks
Ya it bit me , this is the 1st time it sent me to the hospital tho (I’ve had it for 5years)
Complacency is a bitch.
I don’t think they are different,
I need a puff , I’ll go see if I can find one .
Wife still won’t let me smoke inside .
Dirt bike .
Thanks for the offer brother always with the generosity this onex2 NDNGUY'S 1979 Christmas Bud
Preservation project.
They were given out as freebies with purchase of Useful gear. If you cant get any I can gift you a pack.
Hash Tips would have green leaves underneath wouldn't they? the trichs are so dense that it appears to look white. Bleaching would be the leaf and bud losing its chlorophyll? Not sure if this is what's happening. With corals when stressed by intense light or warmer conditions it is quite common for them to expel their zooxanthellae which is their color pigment so the coral appears white but still living. I'm curious if this is a similiar event in the buds.I think hash tips are different than bleached tips, but I get your point. And bummer man, what did you crash?
From what I remember, and I smoke weed so....Hash Tips would have green leaves underneath wouldn't they? the trichs are so dense that it appears to look white.

No shit!Wife still won’t let me smoke inside .
My old lady likes to burn from time to time but I’m still banned to the garage for a tokeNo shit!
I used to smoke cigs (and herb) in my truck while sitting in the driveway.
Being able to listen to tunes was a major factor.
That, and kids drove me nuts...![]()
