Hi guys whats growing on?? so......ive been having some issues lately growing with led lights, well im assuming its because of led lights anyways im on my 4th time round consistently killing my girls and this shit is really getting to me!, so ive been through the whole interweb twice and the only logical theory that i can come up with is that when growing with led lights the transpiration rates are different or behave differently am i right??
so what was happening is im seeing people getting symptoms of overwatering their plants, when infact 90% of the time these people including myself are having these issues and just completely mind blown, scratching my head wondering wtf is going on?? how can i be overwatering my plants ive never had this problem before!, anyways ive put my girls back under conventional lighting (hps) and then things start to look better! im totally stunned like i just cant believe these led lights could be my problem, or atleast in theory??
so my understanding is that water/nutrients get sucked up through the roots, up through the plant and exits via the leaves (transpiration), but under led lights the leaf temperatures are quite a bit lower due to the lack of infrared heat i believe which greatly reduced transpiration rates? so if this water/nutrients have nowhere to go then its all like blocked up with nowhere to go and starts to drown the plant? causing symptoms of what we normally would think to be overwatering?
guys im still trying to figure all this out but i think im on to something here and i think this might be the problem ive been dealing with for so long.
ill post some pics up when i get on my phone later and hopefully some of you smart guys read this and help figure this shit out.
thanks to anyone that takes the time to read this and can offer some advice much appreciated.
