a bit cold for seed(ling)Sounds like it's on the low end of things but I'll defer to the experts. I'd imagine growth wouldn't exactly be vigorous at those temps.

Could be a factor as well.. I had some pretty 'cool' LED winter grows but plants were still green and healthy just not super vigorous. I agree, overall temps are not ideal. Raising the air temp would probably kill 2 birds.My 2 cents is root temp is probly fine, but air temp is a bit chilly. Plants like much higher air temps with LED, I like 27-29C.
Likely, I would have to switch back to a 6" inline then or crank the light a bit if the plants can handle the extra light. Not much I can do there right now, but I will definitely raise the pots as soon as I can.Could be a factor as well..

Could make sense, but look at my previous plants... only noticeable difference is humidity compare to what I had throughout this grow. Temps have been running steadily the same. I am baffled.My 2 cents is root temp is probly fine, but air temp is a bit chilly. Plants like much higher air temps with LED, I like 27-29C.
i was using one of these but, doesnt seem to measure COCO for PH at all....Raising the light ouput from 20-50% raised temps by just over 2 degree celcius... can work with this for now, or go even higher. Light meter shows 500-700 at canopy height, hope not too much for these already stunted plants lol.
btw. I don't use this meter to test my PH haha

I wouldnt worry reading yours brother.long as your phing the nutes in the range say 5.8-6.0 and getting good runoff your golden. I use to worry bout ph out but not anymore...i hardly check it.i was using one of these but, doesnt seem to measure COCO for PH at all....
these cheap meters......
Yea it’s a weird one for sure. My thought with higher temps was it would give the plant a kick start and get it drinking and perspiring moreCould make sense, but look at my previous plants... only noticeable difference is humidity compare to what I had throughout this grow. Temps have been running steadily the same. I am baffled.

I totally agree I appreciate your input.Now that they are raised your heading down the right road. Remember the road to recovery can take a while so try and not get carried away while your waiting on the recovery. That meter is a joke and your best bet for a accurate reading is throwing that thing away. Those prong meters are a joke
The root zone temps are definatly a contributing factor too cold for proper aspiration. But really its not bumping up the feedings, me personally like to bump up the food every 2ed or 3ed feeding by 50-100 PPM sometime more often sometimes higher bump, depending on what the plants want.
