do these plants look like there over watered ? last watering was thursday each plant got 1/2 gallon

 

[GreenGalaxyFarm]

no moisture meter?
local nursery should stock would say care for those gimmicky soil ph readers
what is the temp and rh at the canopy
the fan might even be causing the soil to dry out too quick, plant furthest away look healthiest

 

[biggerbud420]

yes i have one and i use it i dont water until it says 3 or 4 and the pots are light i been watering every 4 or 5 day 1/2 gallon last feeding was 3 weeks ago dry amendments i will be reamending next time i water

 

[biggerbud420]

but why are the leaves droopy using spiderfarmer se3000 its at 90 percent about 10 to 14 inches above the canopy

Hey, I think your questions just got missed. I have a few comments but I suck at nutrient diagnostics . 1 is I don't like that soil, its too compact and has some shit in it that seems to fk with a nute line up. I've seen more people with problems with that stuff than successes.

2 is I don't like your watering method, pots that big ( 5 gal?) need 1.5 gallons of liguid every 4-5 days at 78f so if you are giving them 1/2 gal every 4-5 days then you are under watering and the roots are not using the dry soil you're not getting wet......even my 3 gal pots get 1 gal every 3 days.

I have 2 - se3000 I'm still getting used to but I'm seeing lower intensity is better than full power like 60% until they really need more juice in full bloom.

Lots of help here we just have to get the question noticed......a lot of fluff sometimes and real help needed gets missed.

1 if i water more the 3/4 of a gallon i will have a floor full of water and these pots will stay wet for 10 days i learned on previous grows with this brand soil also the soil will get water logged and stay there. now if i water 1/2 gallon they dry out in 2 to 4 days i also use a moisture meter and i do not water until it reads 3 or 4 after i water i check the bottom of pots with the moisture meter it will read 6 or 7 on the moisture meter the bottom get wet but not soaked u can not soak with the wal mart pro mix
2 about the light i agree with u

Then you need to up your temps those fabric pots dry out fast when there's air movement and 78f+ and if you've used that soil in the past....ah well amybe its time for a change...like Promix HP or Sunshine Mix#4...Greenworld VPW30,.....That walmart/costco stuff is different and it maybe part of the problem....

I can get by with 76f in promix and fab pots my 3 gallon are none dry in 4 days and 5 gallon in 5 days any longer than that I have hanging leaves

What PAR you running?

Seems like they need the light backed off a bit but that might be me.

 

[biggerbud420]

i got the light about 80 percent about 12 inches above the canopy . i actually thought they looked ok

 

[biggerbud420]

same plant 1st pic was taken friday the last pic was taken about 5 mins ago seems like that a lot of growth in just 2 days

 

[CookiesLikeWhoa]

Yeah my guess that's a bit too much light.

How many hours a day you running them?

This is the only PPFD map I found for that light. https://www.spider-farmer.com/produ...00-full-spectrum-led-grow-light/#&gid=1&pid=4

I'd guestimate you're likely hitting those plants with 600+ PPFD. They're aren't healthy enough to be taking that amount of light.

Dial the light back. I would personally raise it too until they've recovered.
