This is another example of how a canna plant can react to lights being to intense.
Looks over watered but is not.

raised the light you can see the growth has sped up with in 24hr's


5 days later you can see the stems of the leaves are pointing upwards and not arching over anymore.

Just wanted to give everyone a heads about my experience with having too much light. Air cooled 600 hps

Imagine growing a monster dwc plant for nearly 4 months just to realize she's had light burn at a toxic level the entire time

I'm at week 8 and the buds resemble that of a plant at week 3 or 4. Major foxtailing, fan leaves dry and canoe shaped. Also the plant has completely stopped feeding, I'm nearly on plain tap water right now

Only positive I can say is that she's stickier than I've ever seen this strain, even the fan leaf stems are coated in trichs. Also the buds are rock hard

Oh well, live and learn I guess. Won't be making that mistake again. Now that I know what the issue is I've dimmed to 50%

Here's a picture I found online that looks exactly like mine, I'll get you guys some pics of my plant later today. Huge sugar leaves, buds not stacked for shit

I gotta agree with Nanook. Looks like reveg or like the plant was close to N tox at flip and has produced leaves to use it all

I'd be interested to see your own pics tho pal

I thought revegging as well at first, but it keeps getting worse on the buds closest to the light only. Bottom stuff looks good
I'll get pics in a couple hours

That's over feed imho mate

Stalled bud sites, and still real dark N heavy leaves on the lower stuff

Yes there is light stress but nothing too bad imo mate. Not that would do that anyways
