Did you buffer your Coco before using it ?
im not sure how to lower the temp i have 3 fans inside my tent.Plants are showing light/heat stress and swelling between the veins caused by low transpiration rates... this is caused by high humidity. With low transpiration the evaporative cooling from the leaves is poor and so is nutrient uptake both of these reduce the plants ability to use light. So while the light may not be to intense normally it is for these conditions. The swelling is water trapped in the leaves.
You also have dense plants and need to make sure they are getting airflow to the underside of the leaves so they don't get high humidity micro climates.
I take it you are going by VPD without taking into account leaf temps?
Reduce light intensity.
Lower humidity to 55-60%
Make sure the plants get airflow through the plants.
Pruning 2-4 of the largest oldest fan leaves can help with that.
Do you have an exhaust fan to pull hot air out of space?im not sure how to lower the temp i have 3 fans inside my tent.
i have an exhaust fan at the top of my tent yes. maybe i have it set up wrongDo you have an exhaust fan to pull hot air out of space?
What exhaust fan do you have and how do you run it?i have an exhaust fan at the top of my tent yes. maybe i have it set up wrong
im using this exhaust fan and this is how i have it set up. it had good reviews on amazonWhat exhaust fan do you have and how do you run it?
Your temp may be fine but the leaf temperatures likely are not. You big issue is the humidity
Does the duct dump into the room just outside tent or into a different space altogether. Can be like fighting a losing battle with temps/humidity if its just dumping outside the tent and that space isn't conditioned as well. However now that you've helped the plant breath some more that should help out with transpiration issues Aqua man was talking about. Just keep an eye next couple days and see how they respondim using this exhaust fan and this is how i have it set up. it had good reviews on amazon
Almost all coco doesn't need buffering or washing these days.Did you buffer your Coco before using it ?
my tent is a 48x48x80 ill do that and see how that does!How big is the tent?
Take the filter off and run that fan 24/7 at max. 100% a cheap carbon filter in 70% humidity is not only not doing a dam thing for you it's swollen and restricting airflow.
Report back on temp and humidity in the middle of the light cycle tomorrow.
i removed it! had alot of gross powder on it. but hopefully the temp drops!Almost all coco doesn't need buffering or washing these days.
Lower the direct airflow on the plants a bit... its a bit much... just a gentle breeze. They should be good now they are cleaned up. And I'm betting the humidity and temls will come down a lot now.i removed it! had alot of gross powder on it. but hopefully the temp drops!
Well I was probably chasing bad decisions and knew nothing about growing lol... the sentiment is shared... oh wait your still teaching me things lol. Learned a lot from you my man.Fukin @Aqua Man... where were you when I started growing bud?I sure could have used the advice. You are a huge asset to the growing community.
Iis ur lights to close I see little wilt to them and notice temp r high at 91 it looked like. Try raised lights . And try go lite on nutes for bit see that helps. Or do what I do for get all them nutes go the super soil way just water all the way to harvestHello guys im on week 6 and they are all showing the same deficiency. And they looks weird so short. Only like 1 of them is tall which is also starting to show the deficiency. im not sure if they are auto or photo but im leaning towards photo since ive read that autos would start showing flowering signs right now.
I’m growing in COCO running the lucas method with tap water (i included photos of the measured EC and PPM of my tap water)
2 gallons of water
2ml cal mag
8ml micro
16ml bloom
Then phing between 5.7-6
i thought the issue was that i was using too little cal mag after reading the bottle. i raised the cal mag to 5ml per gallon for a total of 10 and i dont think that helped at all.
(some additional information that i was thinking maybe is the problem but im not sure just seems off to me)
the first couple times when i would make my feed mixture i would only need to add 1 drop of ph up or down to get a drastic change in ph level but now when mixing my nutes its take a whole dropper of ph up or down in order to get the same effect. so maybe my ph up and down has gone bad since i used the same dropper for both of them?
I agree. i give a feeding with nutes and a tad bit of molasses as I use great white occasionally. that feeding lasts 5-6 days and then I water. plain ro water with calmag and epsom salt. it seems the epsom gets the remaining salts not used up and makes them uptake better. im on soilI thought the lucas formula was revised for coco its called h3ad formula 6ml micro 9ml bloom? (1 gram epsom salt too?)
Could you give a lil more info about the fertigation frequency and environment please?
Since I buffer my coco with CalMag and PH corrected, I have less problems in the future, but thats my experience !!Almost all coco doesn't need buffering or washing these days.
What brand of coco? Never had any issue. The old coco used to be very high in salts and needed rinsed and buffered. But coco itself does not change the PH much at all. Feeding with proper amounts of Ca and Mg and good runoff with high fertigation rates eliminates the need to soak it.Since I buffer my coco with CalMag and PH corrected, I have less problems in the future, but thats my experience !!
