Are you able to peek at your roots? Make sure everything looks good down there?

That doesn’t look like light problems. Smell your roots to see if they smell like pond water. I’m guessing it’s a problem with your roots. Maybe fungus… I encountered something like that when I put a plant with dirty in the drip system. Got too saturated. Roots died slowly. So did my plant. It was my Christmas bud. Bummer

Thanks Ultra. So what, if any, is the remedy aside from throwing the plants put and starting over? They appear so close to harvest, too.

Yep, I will hold onto them. I cannot imagine it will be much longer before I can harvest the decent parts.
The soil of each has no odor and no fungus, etc. is visible. They do have a very thick fragrance, so they can’t be close to dying. I hope they hang on!

Ok , Ultra, I received the pair of Durolux led lights yesterday and suspended one over the grow area. The light has two power switches and I have both on so all rows of lights are on.

Received the Durolux lights yesterday and suspended one over the grow area. What are your thoughts on remaining time to harvest now that I’m using proper lighting?
I am going to have to sell my Vivosun 3x3 grow tent and get a 4x2 to accommodate the light.

Here are the plants this morning. I guess some have light burn? They all look like crap now. These plants have been growing for nearly 6 months. I have no idea what I am doing other than wasting money on equipment, fertilizer, and seeds. I can grow most anything else in my garden, but not these. I just do not understand what I am doing incorrectly.

FWIW I have found that the longer you grow a cannabis plant the easier and more susceptible to issue like deficiencies and root issues. Have you tried a good flush with lots of run off?

Your light intensity may be a little high. It would be just like putting an albino in a tanning booth for 20 minutes.

Light intesity might be too high or lights might be to close to the canopy. Looks like you could go in and do some heavy defoliation. Especially this close to harvest it will just make harvesting easier. I would take literally all of the water leafs off. Maybe it will help with the light burn as well as getting some airflow in for the last bit before harvest to prevent any other worsening problems. I mean other than that I’m with everyone else. So close to harvest just dont do too much to make any of the problems worse. Ride it out and you will have some smokable bud 
Happy Growing!

Hi Happy,
No, I haven’t done that. The plants are so scraggly and situated in a way that moving them is a hassle.
I just don’t see how, all of a sudden over a couple of days, so many of the leaves and bud areas are brown. I just want them to be harvested and I’ll he done with it; too much aggravation. I don’t know what to do with them at this point.

If you have a way to get the run off out I’d give it a shot. When I did indoor I used a 300ml syringe with a small rubber hose to suck up the water.

What are the “water leaves?”

Also, now that I have appropriate lightning, should I remove the mylar reflective sheets from around the plants? I used them when I was using those ineffective lights. I just thought the reflected light was necessary to make sure light got all around the plants. These new lights are penetrating the foliage ALOT more than beforehand.
I sincerely appreciate everyone’s help and hope I am not being a pest.

Yes the reflective mylar is good to reflect the light down and around the plants to get to all the buds under the canopy. I wouldn’t remove it. But it isnt exactly necessary. The water leafs are all of the bigger fan leafs that have their own stems from the stock of the plant. Usually the leafs without any of the sugar or trichomes are the water leafs or fan leafs.

I removed the buckets that I was using to elevate the plants closer to the light I was previously using. I also pruned a lot more of the fan leaves. I also rotated the pots a bit. None of them have standing water. Now, the new Durolux light fixture is about 16" from the top of the tallest plants and I have the fixture on full intensity. I have a small fan blowing up from the bottom and I also placed one of the new Vanect Grow lights on the floor facing upwards, its intensity is adjustable so it is on about the middle level.
These photos I just shot try to get close enough to show trichomes and bud areas. I tried steadying the one saggy plant that looks the worst of the four. Based on what I have done, what are everyone’s suggestions and ideas as to the time to harvest and overall set up?
And like a sucker for aggravation, I have two AK47 Auto’s that have just germinated! I hope to do better with those.
Again, thank you for everyone’s understanding, patience and help!
