Light is 7’ off the floor and roughly 3-4’ over the top of the plants. Roughly 180 ppfd. The room is 84 degrees previously 82 degrees.
I hate to do this but its the internet. Who says youve done all that. Trolls are crazy advanced these days.
Dark period was suggested. Dont remember suggesting less intensity.
12/12 in flower room so they get rest. DARK PERIOD!
Less intensity over same time or same intensity over less time.
you lost 5 years in this conversation?
Right! As in the last 4-5 years I’ve been in this house. Dood you are really digging aren’t ya.
Ive solved your issue tho.
You aren’t capable. Calling someone a troll because you can’t figure out a problem says a lot about you man. It’s always the same ending. So predictable.
You really don’t listen do you! Room has two heaters monitored via controller. Room is 84 degrees, leaf temp is 78 degrees average at canopy. Lower ec and problem is worse. I’ve tried ph from 5.5 to 6.5. 6.5 seems to be what my system wants, in my veg room that isn’t saying much.
I called you a troll because you wont take good advice and keep pushing the same Ive tried everything. Have you tried what i just suggested?
Could you quote where you said you have two heaters? I suggested a heater because you said going 18/6 would take your temps longer to rise. My grow room has a portable ac running in it right now. Lung room at 73 and tents stay at 78 with no heaters. How is that?
Have you tried the changes together? Like what I just suggested above.
Listening very closely sir.
See you know what the problem is but wont change it. Your system isnt working. Change the system.
Yes I’ve tried all that. I’m in a 65 degree basement so I struggle with temps. For consistency I’ve settled in 24 hour to keep environment where it should be.
Doooooood! I! Have! Tried! Every! Know! Functional! Ph!
Good questions
If you didn't put lime in the peat it's pH is closer to 4.5
"Dry backs to the point of neglect" are the kiss of death in peat. It becomes so hydrophobic it's useless. Any synthetic nutes you had in there become a toxic salt buildup as well.
Good morning fellow troll. Lol. I lost patience with you last night and completely gave up. I'm back to help. Maybe your light situation will fix itself if we can figure out the nutrient and root problems.
I don't think he regularly uses dry backs to neglect but tested it. But the way the roots are growing around the media makes me think the hydrophobic part is a possibility. I know it can happen in soil too and the fix is to water slower.
Appreciate the questions! I grow all photoperiod plants. Some feminized and some regular. Depends on genetics and breeder. I have roughly a dozen keeper moms I’ve found and or collected over the years. I’m also doing pheno hunts constantly with random breeders who I think their gear sounds interesting or with crosses I’ve made. I’ve messed with varying amounts of runoff so yes, 20-30% runoff. My old method was zero runoff with an alternating feed water water feed type cadence. Runoff ec is always higher than input regardless of strength. I believe this is related to the uptake issue I’m having. In peat my input ph is 6.5 and runoff ph is right about 6.0. Media is ph adjusted with lime just like most peat based growing media. The brand is Fertilome which is basically the same as sunshine #4. I went away from sunshine 4 years ago due to consistency issues. Sometimes I had to add more lime and other times there was too much and I had to chase ph accordingly. I have a flower room and a veg room. They are separate with walls made out of drywall. I used to be in tents. Leaf temps are generally 5 degrees cooler than ambient under led due to lack of ir and uv. Depending on how much air movement you have can even create a cooling effect on the leaf because of transpiration and drive the leaf temp down even further. Leaf temps are taken with an ac infinity laser temp gunim measuring ppfd with a lux meter and I convert the reading with a simple math equation. While it’s not dead nuts accurate like an apogee would be it is very close. Lights are roughly 3-4 feet above canopy currently.
