Hey guys,

This is my first plant and I did a lot of mistakes (not doing LST in my small box, etc) but now I managed to get into 3w of flowering.

I have the following issues
- leaves are dry and curly it looks like overheat but temperature is ok i guess, 23C. I looked the hints from other treads (ventilator is blowing on top of my plant)
- buds are not really growing
I have
- 150W (or 100W) lamp it is smth like 15cm (6inch) from the top
- hydro on Hesi (1.7-2.0 EC)
- temperature of the water - 21C
Is humidity really important? Should I make the air more humid to avoid this issue.

Please help my with my problems

Its not nute burn scroggy its light burn as its too localized and nute burn is more uniform . You have had those leaves at some stage too close to the light, make it at least 30 cm. And by the way what happened to top half of the plant?

I changed the water to flush it. lets see how it will react to that. maybe I need more ventilation.
did anybody try to use ice or smth to decrease temperature in growbox?

You never had nute burn and you may have just over water RIGHT NOW IMO,you definitely need more ventilation you plant exhibits the behavior or heat stress/light burn
The best way to tell is by looking at the color of the burn if it was nute burn it would be alot darker orange/brown and not light/tan.

It is all heat related. They look just like my latest batch of fried ganja. I don't have enough control of the temp as I would like to. Yield suffers by keeping my light away from tops. I FIM, I LST, I SCROG, & I still get it when I least expect it. Mine are still in shock. Usually just happens to Indicas first but this time I got all of 'em. Brought them out for fresh air & limited direct sun. They're alive, but deeply shocked. They'll live but won't produce as much as they could have. Sucks doesn't it?

I don't lollipop. Popcorn adds up fast. I leave as much foliage as I can get. I don't take a leaf or stem off until it it offered to my by the plant. I FIM once Then during the stretch I bend over the top cola so all tops are even or close to it. I anchor the bend to the pot with string & duct tape so I can adjust & re-tape if necessary. The main cola grows into a shepherds hook they're cool when dried. I've never stressed 'em out doing all of the above just when I fry 'em.

Where is the top half? Is that how you topped it? I wouldn't even do that. That's one heckuva big open wound on the stem there. Doesn't that invite problems? Hell I might even try it. The buds are growing even all up & down the branches. Nice!?!?

yes I know. I had to remove it otherwise the distance between top and light was too small.
