the pics look like the bottom growth is ok and the top growth is deficient. Maybe light too close? What’s your distance? Either way maybe back it off until you get this figured out.

Yes but you need to act fast. If the leaves are getting ruined by too much light or deficiency. So will the buds follow.

I forget what’s your light and distance?

It’s like 15 inch away but like I don’t think I can raise it any higher should I just dim both to 50 perfect ?

No don’t do that. What type of light do you have? HPS or led? I assume LED. If you can’t raise the light. Do you have room to move them over? Away from the strongest part of the light

I don’t have LEDs but do they have a dial? Can you do 80%? I don’t know hopefully an LED guy can help u better. Wait for someone smarter before doing anything.

And you said you can’t raise them?

@DoubleAtotheRON any suggestions for him? This one is out of my league.

this looks like my problem when I did one plant under a 600 HPS. The top was burning and middle down was green.

Just judging from your top and bottom growth, the tops look burnt.. nothing you can do will bring them back, but!, you can help them out by dimming your light/raising your light, but I really think your biggest problem is nute burn.. can't save that either, but you can flush them with plain PH'd water to level out the amount of salts and nutes in the medium.. don't sweat it too much, those leaves are going to be trimmed off anyways, but get your medium under control.. flush those out with 3 times the amount of medium volume you have (ie) if you are in 5 gallon pots, run 15 gallons though it to clear out any built up salts or nutes.. then re-feed immediately with a lower feed.

Do you have a PAR meter? LED's are pretty forgiving, that's why Im saying nute burn, but check it if you can. That's why Im saying flush with PH'd water/feed as well... could be low PH, but a 6.8ish flush should clear anything out, and level your medium.

Yes, they can be saved... just be patient and flush out all your built up salts. Easiest thing to do is not worry too much, and don't be a "helicopter" grower... just give them what they need and dont worry too much. They will do fine with less light and less nutes than too much of both. I do say this with a lot of knowledge from everyone here on RIU... Im not saying to ignore pests or odd things, but you do need good tools... like a good PH meter, PAR meter, it will make your life and growing so much easier. Most of all... Keep it simple.

hello how is everyone today I noticed that the top of the plant is getting orange amber hair and the bottom of the plant just looks like white pistoles barly flower? I know it could be not receiving light but if I lower the lights the top colas will burn? do I just take the L on the bottom bud sites ?

The top buds always mature faster. It sounds normal.
