What is your air flow like? Do you circulate the same stale air with an oscillating fan? Is the grow space sealed with no fresh air intake?
Do you have a Max/Min Hygrometer to see if temperature goes higher of lower that the reading you get when you go take a peek? Got no pics? What strain (could be low-rider)? Professional soil or B&Q? Growing from seed?

Growing from seed, our air flow is controlled by a 700cm intake and 1400cm outake ventilation system with a built in carbon filter.

The temparature has never exceeded 32.3'C.

We are using Bio-Biz All Mix and the strain is Bolton Budhead.

you sure bout them measurements? 700 cm is like 7m and 1400cm is like 14m, but i guess you meant mm. Providing the fans do not operate simultaneously you should be good on the air front.

32C is far too high, even for shiva shanti II which is quite resilient to imperfect environments. I'm sure with Bio-Biz It comes with nutes in it and you are supposed to feed by increment i.e. 1/3rd dose for a week; 2/3rds dose for a week; then full dose remaining time.


15L pots are a good size. You might find that the plants are spending time rooting themselves; a plant only grows upward as it grows downwards. Because of the size of your pots I would encourage using a rooting formula into the first 2 weeks of bloom.

Ensure you flush the soil with a litre or more of water every so often. 2 days of feed then flushing helps prevent residual build-up within the grow medium. If when you start feeding you immediately get run-off out the bottom of the pots then the soil is already adequately moist and you should give a day or 2 for the soil to dry out slightly so that the root stucture is able to beathe, but do not allow the soil to dry so much that the edge of the soil becomes separate from the sides of the pot. Contracted soil, when watered, will expand and could cause root damage if not careful.

Thanks a hell of a lot for that mate, that information shall prove to be most valuable.

And yes I did mean 700mm Intake and 1400mm Outake sorry about that my typing goes out the window when im stoned.

Take it easy geezer

Peace up
