Hi, im using a sunblaze 2ft 4bulb light fixture and my plants are indoor and i was using a fan to thickin up the stems so they dont bend over. while i was using the fan to thickin out the stems the leaves were browing at tips because they were dryin up but i need 2 us the fan to keep air movement in the room but idk where to position the fan to keep air movement and to help thickin the plants also. please help
move the fan out of direct contact with the plants. The air flow blowing past them is drying them out. Bounce the air off the ceiling or a wall.
thanx. so i just have the fan blow off a wall or ceiling to hit them and the airmovement will be good and they will get ticker?
Thanx. and so have he fan blowing off a wall or ceiling it wont burn them up and the airmovement will be good and they will still get bigger and thicker?Quote:

jesus man 3 posts on the same thing...its hard for me 2 wonder y your leaves would be burning if your using floros,flourescents produce virtually no heat,u can seriously rest a lamp on them for hours with little to no damage.what is your ph level reading.first and for most.what kind of medium...wait wait,if u want real help fill this out .............H=Answer if you grow hydro or aero
C=Answer if you grow coco
S=Answer if you grow traditional soil
L=Answer if you grow soilless other than coco (Promix, Hyponex, SunshineMix)
R=Answer if you grow in RockWool
T=Answer if you grow in HydroTon
D=Answer if you run any type of automatic drip system, including into soil or soilless
E= EVERYONE needs to answer lol!
E-indoor or outdoor
E-soil, soilless, coco, aero, or hydroponic
E-specific medium
CSL-Soil type/brand
HCL-Hydro/aero/soilless system type
SCL-Anything you have added to the soil
SCLR-Soil or slab runoff pH
E-Water source
E-Source water pH
HRT-Source water EC (if hydro)
E-Age of plant
E-Type of fertilizer
E-Rate of application (if hydro, this is your PPM number, preferably after each component is added)
E-Lighting source and distance from plant
E-Air temperature (both day and night if you are running a dark period)
HD-Reservoir temperature
E-Air % Relative humidity
E-Lighting schedule
E-Type of ventilation your room has
TR-Did you pre-soak your media in pH corrected solution?
fans wont dry out your plants, as long as you water. burnt tips are more serious probs usually
thats what i dont get this light doesnt produce alot of heat and the tips and and on the leaf there are brown spots and the sides of some leafs are turning lime green and the plant is a dark color. this light does droduce a good amount of heat b.c 1 of mi plants grew 3 inches in 1 day and the second fan leafs toward the top curled down and were a lil dry. im gettin a ph tester on wed. b.c this may be the biggest problem with the plants. and i wus micical grow soil that feeds up 2 three months and i did feed the plants sum micical grow fertilizer so i may have over feed them by doin that but there still living stong.
the best advice your going to get is to flush right now.until u can determin your ph.u dont have to go balls out with a digi meter,u can pick up ph paper test strips at any pool store
'i use these in conjunction with my ph pen,im paranoid about electronic instruments" u can also buy sun leaves or gh brand dropper tests for around 3 dollers at a hydro store.if u dont have a hydro store in your town,find a pet store and go to there aquatic dept,they will have ph strips they are for fish,these will work just fine.how old are the plants?
One Is A Month old and the other is 3 almost 4 weeks old. So I go An Get The PH Strips And Hw Do I Increase Or Decrease The PH In My Water Once I Find Out How High OR Low It Is??? Hw Do You Flush Out Your Soil??? And If The Ph In The Water Isnt Whats Hurting Tmy Plants What Else Could It Be??? Ill Post Sum Pics.
