Greetings everyone, guess this is a bit of a late introduction and a request for assistance.
I’ve been growing (struggling to) off and on since 2013, with marginal but improving results, still far from what I hope for. In my early 50’s now, growing was always an unfulfilled burning desire, and even with disappointing results, I don’t feel like I’m really living unless I’m growing. I have knowledge without (successful) experience and tend to overthink things but have gradually simplified or standardized things as my familiarity increases. I have no hands on/in person mentor for guidance so dialing things in has been brutal as I’m not sure what is holding me back. Encouraged by my last cycle, I paused for the summer (west coast, triple digit temps) to remodel and invest in some new equipment, which leads me where I am now- really struggling and not sure which direction to proceed to remedy things.
I’ve been growing in soil, usually happy frog with added perlite and a little ewc. I’ve been using jacks plus a few extras, multiple runs. Currently my temps and humidity are more dialed in than ever. I’ve been monitoring vpd, mainly as a data point. Was using hlg led (320xl) but upgraded to hlg 350R. Using photone app and cheap lux meter to “calculate “ PPFD/DLI etc.
in the past I’ve always had to go by feel, but due to previous lack of success I have increased hard data as a means to learn.
Mixed genetics, 3x HSO 707 headband, 3x HSO trainwreck (fems in storage I needed to use) and 3x Texas butter F2 reg (3 of 6 made it, source freebies from brisco’s bargain beans)
The problem
So, I’m about 20 days from breaking soil, and seeing interveinal chlorosis, especially the TB. Temps range 74-84, humidity 55-68, leaf temps 74-81. (Approximate range)
PPFD around 200, light about 60% power, but I did push it to 300 which I suspect is responsible.
I also recently gave first feeding of jacks (321 program) in case it was mag deficiency which from searches is another suspect? pH in and out close (6.3 in, 6.5 out). Ppm out off the chart but nothing has really gone in yet?? Planning to run pH’d nutrient sol’n through until ‘stable’.
I’ve never really struggled like this early on and am at a loss, I do realize however that the ganja gods are teaching me humility as my previous enthusiasm led to overconfidence,haha. I also had horrible seedling stretch, hence the addition of ‘collars’.
Let the trolling begin, lol. First pic is 9/19, second is9/21 rest are today. I appreciate everybody’s time and offer my thanks in advance, as well as apologies if I messed this up.
