What’s happening to my girls?

[jaimars]

I have 4 autos in a 4x4 tent all in coast of Maine living soil and almost 4 weeks old!
Strains: cherry bomb, sour zkittles, lemon Thai and gelato….my current temp is around 84 during day and 65-70 when lights off 18/6 schedule my humidity is ranging from 38-45….I’ve water with mosquito bits for gnats 2x which have gone away as far as I can tell….not sure why they look so sad please let me know

mmm your watering looks fine, humidity could be higher like 50-55.. doubt that is your problem, when was the last time you saw gnats?

Had to turn up brightness to see that soil. Could it be underwatering?

i am thinking that too but i feel the gnat issues is still there.

 

[Jakecan]

Maybe try setting up some yellow sticky traps to detect if they are still there!

Can you lower the Temps to 77 during the lights on?

You see the speed bumps' on the leaves?

Yes some are turning up toward the light

I live in a hot state where it’s over 100 everyday I have a room air conditioner and central air and still my lights run hot

Yes I’ve ordered some and plan to keep treating the soil when watering

I’m sure I water enough I soak the pots and get run off

If I saw my plants looking like that, my first thought would be they are thirsty. It also looks like possible heat stress, over watering, or a root problem like root rot or they're root bound.. From what you said, I don't think it's heat stress. Every time I've had plant look like this it was almost always thirsty, and in a couple of cases it was root rot. If the plant is thirsty, water will bring it to normal in 1-2 hours, if it's root rot or a similar attack on the roots, watering it should make them look completely dead (every leaf and branch dangling) within 1-2 hours.

If it's none of these problems I'm at a complete loss.

Happy gardening!

Do the tests to know whats going on in the rootzone (slurry/pour through).

Let us know how that goes. For your sake I do hope it is as simple as watering. Best of luck to you jaimars.

Thanks me too!

Gave them a good watering last night about 1.25 gallons each and still looking very sad today

Hello Jaimars. I'm sad to see the watering didn't help. Watering didn't make them worse so I doubt it's a root fungus. They don't look big enough to be root bound, especially in fabric pots. The bad news is, I myself don't know how to help you right now. The good news is, you've eliminated one possibility. Hopefully now someone else will be able make better suggestions. That's one problem with plants, 10 different problens can all look similar. Sometimes it's a matter of elimination, try different things and hope one works. I wish you the best of luck and hope someone helps you or your research leads you to a solution.

see any gnats, keep watching for them they have 30 day life cycle so new ones are hatching almost everyday and the larvee eat the roots of your plants than when ready come to the surface.
i bet that’s the problem.
they love it wet and humid.
