You’ve gotta get those leaves out of the dirt before you get a fungus issue. If it’s touching the medium cut it off
You’ve gotta get those leaves out of the dirt before you get a fungus issue. If it’s touching the medium cut it offWhat I meant to say is it only gets watered once the soil is bone dry
What is leaf spot? And how can I fix it? Are you saying it's caused by moisture on the leafs?View attachment 971663If it starts to look like that you got leaf spot
Kk thanksYou’ve gotta get those leaves out of the dirt before you get a fungus issue. If it’s touching the medium cut it off
How can I make it dry faster? I have two fans on them you think maybe I should just lower the humidity level?Might be taking too long to dry?
2 fans is good. Put the bigger of the two on the pot level instead of tied up. Keep the air moving by the soil too!How can I make it dry faster? I have two fans on them you think maybe I should just lower the humidity level?
Kk I'll turn the humidifier off and see what the natrual humidity is in the tent and I clips off the two or three leaves that were touching the soil2 fans is good. Put the bigger of the two on the pot level instead of tied up. Keep the air moving by the soil too!
You were right after turning off the humidifier last night the humidity stays at about 35% by itself so that should be fine right? 35% and some pics haha just cuz2 fans is good. Put the bigger of the two on the pot level instead of tied up. Keep the air moving by the soil too!
All TDS meters actually use EC (Electrical Conductivity) for the measurement and then do a conversion to display TDS in PPM (parts per million). So you first need to find out what formula your TDS meter is using for this conversion. If you're in the States your meter is probably using the 500 scale (also called Hanna). But you need to check as there are different scales and different nutrient manufactures use different scales, when telling you how much of their nutrient you should be using. After you know your meter conversion then you can start checking your soil runoff to determine if you're over/under feeding. (This is assuming you're not using organic fertilizers which will not read on your meter.)So I got my ph tester and other tester whatever it's called I'm familiar with how to use the pH tester but I'm pretty confused on how to use the TDS tester

(This is assuming you're not using organic fertilizers which will not read on your meter.)
To check your soil, you can either do a slurry test or use the "pour through method". (The later being a standard nursery technique to test nutrient levels. Just Google and you'll find easy instructions.) If you're using one of the major nutrient bottles, they'll provide you with a feed chart with their recommendations. (If they're providing PPM number make sure they're using the same EC to PPM scale as your meter!) Now you can test your nutrient solutions before watering, and find your EC/PPM from your runoff to really understand if you're over or under feeding. If you water with a 800 PPM solution, but have a 1000 PPM runoff, then you have too much nutrient in and vice versa if you do a pour through test and only getting 400 PPM then you might be under feeding. (I say might because if you're using a soil like Fox Farm it comes with organic nutrients added, which as I mentioned won't be included in your reading. In which case you'll want to take those organic nutes into consideration and want to have a lower EC/PPM, especially if your soil is new.)
Here is a general chart to show where you'll want your EC/PPM to be during your grow.

That is incredibly helpful dude thanks so much
Good stuff about your environment! Now about pulling those plants down like that. Your likely ripping all the roots at the base of the plant causing Major stress and damage to your plant which will make it weak and susceptible to disease. ALWAYS put another support at the base on top the dirt pulling in the opposite direction. I’ll include a photo of what I mean.

Photo in a few hours but you can look up Bill Ward on YouTube and see what I mean in the LST video of gorilla glue #4Good stuff about your environment! Now about pulling those plants down like that.

Be careful those ladies are still young and in the vegetative stage they do not need as much light as they would if they were in flowerNew light got here today
If I were you I would go by the manufacturers specifications because to me it looks like you have way too much light on those girls I could be wrong thoughBe careful those ladies are still young and in the vegetative stage they do not need as much light as they would if they were in flower
The two lights on the side are only 65 w and one is 4000k and the other is 3000k and the blurple one pulls 250w they aren't super extream lights but Inna day or two I might raise themIf I were you I would go by the manufacturers specifications because to me it looks like you have way too much light on those girls I could be wrong though
Nothing matches the sun. As long as all other needs are met, it's hard to OD on light. Meeting the other needs is what may be impossible if the light is "too much". Listen to the plants.If I were you I would go by the manufacturers specifications because to me it looks like you have way too much light on those girls I could be wrong though
Maybe I should’ve said too much heat, This is correct, nothing is stronger than the sun but we can’t put the sun in our grow tents 12 inches above our plants that’s all I was sayingNothing matches the sun.
