Healthy Plant?

[W4ke]

Hi,
First time grower here. Been going through the ringer with various problems of my plant. Fixed my droopy plant by watering it less but now I've been getting leaves on thr bottom of my plant turning brown and yellow and the top leaves "taco-ing" could thrm problems be inter-related or separate issues.
My temp ranges from 73-81°
Humidity from 32-50%

I'm finding it hard to up my humidity in my self made tent. I've tried adding little containers full of water but seems to barely raise it.

I'm currently using on this plant 2 - 75 watt cfls daylight (6500k) about 2 1/2 - 3 inches away

K? As in potassium? If so yes I'm using nutes "grow big" with a little bit of K
It's a hybrid 50/50 gorilla glu #4

Get a fan blowing in between the lights and the plant, the tacoing is prob heat from the lights.

I have 2 fans in the grow tent one blowing from the bottom up by the passive intake and another at the top blowing down.

This is how close my lights are... and when I was overwatering thr plant. But you can see my light distance

That last picture was a week or so ago. I water it every 3 days until a little bit of water comes out thr bottom and by how dry it is on the top-1inch down.

 

[fatawa]

Try stretching that to 5days.still water till barely comes out bottom.

Can you raise the lights?... they should be reaching for the heavens, fans up.

The top blowing down is blowing hot air over them so point it up away fro the plants .

I can raise the lights another 2 feet but I was told to keep cfl lights relatively close for good lumen output.
I'll switch the top fan to the bottom and see if that helps. Thanks

Thanks one-drop I'll switch the top fan up. The hot air would cause taco-ing?

In your case it would be a factor to cause the problem to help with heat use silica or a kelp seaweed mix like SeaSol or maxi crop .
