Why do my plants always get ugly when I transfer them to the Gavita room?

[St. Phatty]

I find that is a common response at the beginning of 12/12.

Healthy plants can look sort of twisted, like a chicken that just molted and has partly regrown its feathers, or something.

The leaves pucker up as they get ready to make buds.


If a week later the plants are in early blooming, the 'ugly' is probably a "healthy ugly".

if that makes any sense ?

Same issues when transitioning to gavitas

Same issues when transitioning to gavitas

Hi everyone!

I have a big issue I'm trying to deal with regarding plants that are transferred from my veg to my flower room.

The plants are super healthy under the 1000Wmetal halides, but within a week of transfer, they look like they hate life. This is true even if I keep the light cycle on 18 hours.

Humidity is similar in both rooms, the plants are in canna coco coir with some large particle perlite.

The fertilizer formula is 5.9 ph'd RO water with H3ad formula, or 6ml of Floramicro and 9ml of Florabloom, with every day hand watering.

In the first picture below, please see a plant on the right has been in the veg room, and the one on the left is a little over a week in the Gavita room.

In the second picture, you'll see a plant after a little over a week in the Gavita room, an abusive's kush.

In the third picture, there is an abusive on the left that looks healthier, and a sick one on the right center of the picture. The healthy one was removed back to the veg room after it started looking sick, and see how it came back.

What could be wrong?

thank you,

Transferring Og kush from veg using 1000 watt
Mh. No issues bright greens and looking healthy. I actually love it when this happens. I've pulled my biggest yields on digital hps single ended bulbs whenever my plants started like this during flowering. Your plants will eventually look much healthier after few days. But you will do way less

Why did this HAPPEN? also seen this happen switching a tap water Mix to toto mix. Also when I had my hps too low at first. If you think about this plants in veg need much less light during cloning and veg growth. I slowly bring up CO2.

My theory is too much light intensity, not over watering since I'm on 6"Hugo's ,. You can improve them by giving a higher concentrated mix with emphasis on nitrogen. Liquid k die work wee too.

This was specifically noticeable in the middle of my tables on rollers that get the most light intensity from cross lighting from gavitas which are place at correct distances.

I think it's related to light intensity from gavitas. Depending on strains some adjust better but og kush can be trouble some. The same way you don't double the ppm strength solution over 1 day, you must treat gavitas similarly. Place them on 600 and bump the watts every 3. Days then go to 725 etc. plants don't like sudden changes that are drastic. Slowly ease them in. But to tell you the truth, I've pulled my best yields and quality when ever my plants grew like this because they produce way less leaf matter especially like the nice big green water leaves that end up shading most of my lower canopy. To compensate increase your hood formula by 20/25% and they should bounce back. Never super lush and green but good enough to take you to the end of your cycle.

If your ppm
Strengths are too low for the given extra light intensity then you will get these kinds of issues with gavitas. Notice how I'm old school hoods the plants closer to the center of light would be slightly more light green then the ones further away. Adjust ppm right from the start and have adequate canopy top space and it will improve and prob yield more than those filled out lush green Canopys that need defoliation to develop bottom nugs. My leaves have shown improvement by adding chelates like liquid k and cal mag but doing it right from the beginning helps prevent these issues. If it was up to me. I would take this look of leaves over the overgrown super lush canopy that when you look at bottoms you see nothing but shade.

Plus they stretch less creating tighter internode lengths which later combine to yield huge colas https://www.icmag.com/ic/picture.php?albumid=59644&pictureid=1673700

I dropped these lights due to this issue and I was 100% organic. Worst investment I ever made.
