Thank you to everyone who commented. I’ve never received so much help in my entire life, it’s overwhelming lol
With the info you provided my opinion is….My plants are praying all of a sudden, i haven’t watered them today because I gave them abit much yesterday but not too much.
then you are almost using a monochromatic lightsource600 watts is the max power, I have been using it at 250 watts
I like you already sir. This is absolutely the cause of stretch and may well be the spectrum limitation causing stress as they could handle this intensity or more if the photons where spread over more spectrums and not so concentrated in the red spectrum. This is because they use different receptors for different spectrumsthen you are almost using a monochromatic lightsource

with HPS blue light being too low already at the full setting.
that's no bueno for veg because blue is needed for efficient photochemistry and promoting root growth
Hmmm well I've seen a growreport where someone accidentally fed 10x the amount of epsom salt and the plants did actually droop and develop darkgreen leaves with yellow burns at the outer ridges and tips...Nah , they are reaching for more light , mag toxicity will also make your leaves stand up
Yes the Mg in high ratios to other nutrients will severely affect uptake of other nutrients. Such in that case it sounds like it inhibited potassium and thus a potassium deficiency and the typical scorching along the leaf edges would be absolutely expected.Hmmm well I've seen a growreport where someone accidentally fed 10x the amount of epsom salt and the plants did actually droop and develop darkgreen leaves with yellow burns at the outer ridges and tips...
BingoYeah a 600 dimmed to 250 might be very inefficient in terms of spectrum and power use. Better to full blast and raise it up.
You may right we will have to agree to disagree! Lol and I personally have no use for large commercial crops just my preference.
I go by the basis of proof in the pudding and observe innovators and persons who touch thousands of plants and can afford to experiment and experience. If you guys haven't noticed professional cultivation facilities all have praying leaves. If you actually pay close attention some of these guys are getting 8foot plants with a 18 day veg time. Plants are healthy as hell and try the product you be the judge.
Lol well commercial product of course is usually a whole different ballpark between craft or micro grows. I follow quite a few craft cultivators, but in terms of knowledge and experience it's a numbers game. How many experiments and experience one can gain. I only speak from my personal experiences leaf praying has been a sign of health returning if dealing with pest presence.You may right we will have to agree to disagree!

Adding pest is another issue - root amphids are bad I wish them in no oneLol well commercial product of course is usually a whole different ballpark between craft or micro grows.

Also from Canada's 2022 gov approved pesticide documents there is no known biological or chemical control for the rice root aphid.
Spent a whole year dealing with these having the worst of luck on my first run. About 15 organic/ chemical pesticides deep and ONLY 2-3 really knocked them down consistently without them shedding their armor. They molt their ARMOR 4X.
As soon the pest issue started reducing the leaves start praying again. They look extremely droopy overwatered when pest pressure is high.
I'm interested and thanks. I've been wondering about this and believe I need it. I've noticed hydro plants can drink as you pour. That tells me it's missing something and leaching it out as it's poured.Yes the Mg in high ratios to other nutrients will severely affect uptake of other nutrients.

If you or anyone else is interested in more on that mulders chart is a great place to start
Yes temp, ph and mixing order are key in hydro. Take silica in the form of potassium silicate for eg. it will drastically raise ph well over 9 and therefore is added first always and should be allowed to mix at that ph for 15-30 min before being ph adjusted to 6-6.5 BEFORE adding any other nutrients or the it will cause precipitation of some nutrients. That’s probably the most common mistake ppl make.I'm interested and thanks. I've been wondering about this and believe I need it. I've noticed hydro plants can drink as you pour.

it wouldn’t and it would only help the plants..Why would more soil make the plant sick?
I think the only bad thing adding more soil would do is grow more roots and new shoots later on or maybe never fully develop. I transplanted same pot in hydro and I placed plant deeper and it grew new roots further up the stalk that was buried.it wouldn’t and it would only help the plants..
