Hi all,
I'm beginning to lose what mind I have left trying to diagnose this. I'm also glad to bump this thread, so new growers like me can provide the correct information.
Soil Growers:
1. Are you growing from seed or clones? Seed - Auto C4
2. How old are your plants? seedling up 22/6 (7 weeks)
3. How tall are your plants? 30cm
4. What size containers are they planted in? 9 Litre fabric
5. What is your soil mix? Biobizz Allmix
6. How often do you water and what type of water do you use? Tap water. Watering as needed (pot lift test)
7. What is the pH of your water? 6.3 - 6.5
8. What kind of fertilizer do you use and what is its NPK ratio? Biobizz nutes (I start low and build up over time to half the 'recommended' doses)
9. Do you foliar feed or spray your plants with anything? No
10. What kind of lights do you use and how many watts combined? LED Migro array2 125 watt
11. How close are your lights to the plants? Experementing between 16cm(recommended) and 26cm
12. What size is your grow space in square feet? Secret Jardin DS60 60x60cm
13. What is the temperature and humidity in your grow space? Temp: between 22 to 27C
14. What is the pH of the soil? Don't know: (pH from run off is 6.9)
15. Have you noticed any insect activity in your grow space? No
16. How much experience do you have growing? Novice
I was growing with MH and HPS before this (three grows), with good success apart from temperature issues, so this is my first foray with an LED array. I'm running the light on an 18/6 schedule as she's an auto.
The first hour or two after the dark cycle, when she wakes, she looks just about ok, wimpy but ok. A few hours later she perks up for a while and then ... flup (not sure if that's a word) all the leaves just droop.
The only two things that I can think of are:
1 Is it because there is only one plant in the tent and she is absorbing a lot more light than intended? Have had the power @ 68% reduced it today to 45% and monitoring
2 Root issues? I gave her root juice only in the first two waters. I am definitely not overwatering and see zero signs of fungus gnats etc. on the soil.
I failed to mention the lights were two weeks late arriving, so she was under a 250W MH @36C for four weeks.
The first pic is from last year, same strain.
Any insight on this would be great.
