Howdy folks,
Merry belated X-Mas everyone, but I ran into some trouble lately with my grow.
I have been fighting to keep these plants going, many showing deficiencies since winter arrived something happened.
I'm growing in my basement in 4x4 tents, 19 degrees celcius low temps at dark, 22.5-23 degree celcius lights on, good air flow, stable environment, great grows in spring-fall(autumn) seasons, every winter not so much.
Growing in Promix hp and also tried sunshine #4 pro with added perlite and a hit of lime. Good drainage, roots don't look so happy despite me giving it enzymes. I transplanted one and it's almost dead.
Pots seem to hold water in bottom for quite some time tho, overwatering? Roots aren't really thriving to search for it.
I went from growing these kinda plants in september
To this now
The grow medium is the same for the most part, - the organic matter i had in there before, but it contained fungas gnats. So no more organic stuff for now.
My ph meter was out of calibration about a month ago by 1.2ph so i recalibrated it, but when I did a ph test on runoff about 3 weeks ago it was at 5.8 after giving it 6.5 water, which means ph must've been at 5.1?! So I didn't add ph down to my well water which is around 7.2 ph and watered it like that for 2 weeks, a week ago i did a soil test in distilled water and it came out as 6.5, so I'm sitting around 6 now maybe a bit higher as its been a week and I've been adjusting watering ph to 6.5 again. But plants seem more unhappy as ever.
I tried transplanting some, without any luck, any ideas to revive my garden or what is happening please?
