Hi everyone. Nice to meet you all and happy to finally get my project off the ground.
I do have a question and hoping someone can help me out. I've been thinking about this for a long time and decided to go hydro for my first time and have spent a pretty penny for the startup.
My setup is:
140cm x 140cm tent.
Plantit Aeros hydro top fed dwc system.
650w Phlizon led light.
Monkey Fan.
Using growth technology "grow" hydro
nutrients at about 30% recommended strength for now and maintaining a ph of approx 5.5 (although it's a fight)
Now, I've been having issues where my leaves are curling down - looks to me like they're overwatered but not 100%. So I've been putting the top fed system on an intermittent timer (5mins on every 2 hours) to try and let the roots get more oxygen.
I'm also now starting to think that this has happened since I upped my grow light intensity to 450w (from 320w) recently. I'm thinking maybe my plants are too young for too much light.
They're on an 18/6 light schedule and are autos. They also look a lot worse than this today but they're currently in their dark phase so I don't want to disturb for a pic. But they're really droopy and don't look great.
