Hey y’all

So I just got my ac fixed
Now got an issue
Lights are Gavita 1700 currently set at 50%

After ac got fixed plants looked good so instead of slowly raise the power I jumped to 80% power
And all my edges started curling
I know VPD plays a role in this situation
Cuz I’ve ran 100% at this stage before with no leaf edges curling up

My current temps are
81f
76rh
81 leaf temp

I dropped my lights back down to 50% to fix the curl

Question is how can I start giving more light and correct my humidity/ temp so I do t get this curl

Thanks

What stage/how many weeks are you at?

In Veg, I never go above 50% and that's not until late, most of the time 30%-40% at 18" for me.

When I flip to flower, I keep at that 50% and in the 2nd week I go to 60% and increase gradually until I'm at 100% in the heat of flower and start dimming light again a few weeks before harvest.

How long was the A/C down for and what kind of temps did you see?

Maybe they were under heat stress and still recovering and the extra light is just a little to much for them right now.

What are you growing in?
Water source?
Nutrients?
How much water are they taking?

try lowering humidity to 55,. you might after that have to increase feed amount,. have to just watch and see,. if not keep lights up,..

Lights are up to the ceilings roughly 35” away from the tallest plants

I’m usually at around 900ppfd at this stage
Currently it’s at 550ppfd

What if I make the room cooler ? Since I can’t really raise the lights up anymore
