Droopy plants, am i watering enough??

[nsw3913t]

So i have a coco, organic soil mix and i have been under feeding by accident,. Not by too much though. I def have not been watering too much, water about every 4 to 6 days, and wondering if i am not watering enough. According to the hygrometer the soil is dry all the way to the bottom. The plants are def growing fast just look sad. Very droopy. Wondering if i shud water em today w full nutes. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!

If the soil is dry, water. That might be all they need.

What's your % relative humidity?

72f and 58rh. 1.1ish vpd, it fluctuates. Leaf temp 68f. About to flip so wana get em perky first lol

It's probably just dry soil, then. See if they perk up a few hours after watering.

Looking like they might be a little cold too.

Too if i raise temp vpd will go way down.

 

[nsw3913t]

Ment too low??

 

[freezeland2]

Adjust the rh as necessary to raise the vpd then.

Ok im on it thx!!

Ideal leaf temp is 75 - 77

I think that will help. If they are cold they won’t transpire as they should.

Yeah i got 800 watt led lights but cheaped out.... im not getting the intensity i want at all. Thats the next upgrade. Ill raise everything to see if i can get the leaf temp up.

So turned up everything to keep vpd good. Gunna wait a bit and checknleaf temp. If it doesnt come up what is a way to raise leaf temp wo raising tent temp more? Just light intesity?

The leaf temps should rise right along with the ambient. Watch the leafs as temp rises. Do you have anyway to measure your light intensity e.g a phone app like Photone? Get the temps and vpd right before you start adjusting intensity if it’s needed. It might take all day to see how the plant responds to being warmer.

Yeah i have photone. And even at 100% i dont get what i want. But im going w what i got rt now. Till next time lol. Ill check leaf temps here in a bit. Gunna let it all stabilize for a little while.

What is the instensity if you know. PPFD to be specific.

511, just double checked, lights are about 16in from tops. Some are looking more perky already! Forgot to check leaf temp while ibwas down there but was up 3 degrees a bit ago.

It will take a little while to see all benefits from raising temps. The pots will take a little while to warm up too.
