So is it increased light? Just read your reply to jebus

How about C02?

 

[jebus2029]

I got it. You lowered humidity to make the leaves thicker and conserve water. I think it has something to do with the humidity and the thickness of the epidermis on the leaves.

 

[gumball]

You may be right with humidity jebus, but he said whatever was missing needed to be increased, not lowered. I think you got it jebus, thinking about it now

I got it. I think it has something to do with the humidity and the thickness of the epidermis on the leaves.

correct

Think, removed fan leaves, removed ability to perform normal transpiration. Humidity low = thick leaf, less transpiration Humidity high= thin leaf more transpiration.

Plant is slowly dying, its a Purps man, save her you guys!!!!!

You can do this, I have full faith or else I would not have sacrificed my Purps Momma for the cause.

 

[Touchet]

here she is, look hard

her leaves are standing again, but look at them, what did I do to try and save her and what must I do to keep her alive?

which way are those curls going??

look at the overall coloring on the leafs,

moved a fan leaf from my RP OG Kush over into the frame for a comparison.

thickness, texture, color??? hmmmmnnnn, I know what I did and what I have to do but unless you tell me, she WILL die.

 

[Touchet]

I removed part of her ability to perform transpiration by removing the fan leaves, so......

 

[Touchet]

How about C02?

this is a smart man. All the answers so far are in the ball park. I do NOT use a co@ tank in my garden anywhere but I do make arrangements for them to have a constant fresh supply. Man you are sooooo close.

 

[chainseeker]

Decrease the nutes? And the heat?

close so close

She needs more air flo for better transpiration.

 

[Touchet]

here's the last hint

people often look at my flowering chamber and miss something well several somethings actually, It's how I guarantee they have plenty of co2 moving in and o2 moving out of the leaves after I have purposely thickened them with low humidity environment.

 

[Touchet]

She needs more air flo for better transpiration.

correct!! now apply this knowledge to the pics, does she look under fed over over fed??

 

[Touchet]

You will all soon see how right all of you are. It points out a great fact. Forums are invaluable because many people may have only a portion of the whole answer.

 

[gumball]

Need more oxygen to the roots to help with the transpiration process?

 

[jebus2029]

So low humidity, high air flow under the plant, and a strong feeding regiment (or is feeding not put into this equation?). You have air blowing straight up because CO2 get absorbed through the bottom of the leaf and O2 comes out the top. The air blowing straight up pushes fresh air directly where it needs to go and blows the O2 that it releases towards the exhaust to reduce the amount of O2 surrounding the plant.

 

[jebus2029]

Oh never mind. It's the mylar on the bottom reflecting light back up to the lower branches.

 

[Touchet]

I figure if no one gets the entire answer she'll be dead by tomorrow night.

the leaf tips are curled up soooo, what did I do to make that happen and what do I need to do now to make sure it doesn't continue to happen? Remember she is on a drip system tray.

 

[jebus2029]

That just gave me a wonderful idea. I'm going to cut a piece of cardboard and attach mylar to it. Then I will place it on the pot just under the plant. Then my fluff buds will get great light coverage.

 

[jebus2029]

Leaf tips curling.... is that over watering? Do you increase the water flow in your drip system? So increase watering and lower the humidity?
