Indoor
Soil
FoxFarm happy frogs
soil ph around 6.8-7(according to my rapitest meter)
distilled water
about 3 months old
using fox farm grow big, tiger bloom, and big bloom
1 600 watt hps about 12" away
temps are around 71-76(no dark period)
humidity is around 42-50%
24/0
room has 2 circulating fan, no real intake/exhaust since temps and humidity dont get to high... the door to the grow room is left open 50% of the time though

I honestly dont even know where to start with my problems it seems like there are so many so ill let the pictures speak...

Have you ever flushed your soil?

yeah I flushed about 5 days ago was my first time ever...

Flushed with tap water about 15 gallons per plant(the pots are 10 gallons).... with the last 2 gallons of water I gave them a feeding of 2 tsp tiger bloom and 1tbl big bloom per gallon..

Was a nightmare to flush cause those pots are HEAVY

you need fresh air intake and a outlet really you should change the old air for new air 20 times an hour as for your nute and soil cant really help as im a hydro man sorry :rasta:

I have thought about that its hard cause I can't use the window( light ECT) exhaust is somewhat easy its intake that's hard

Bad calcium deficiency since you are using distilled water
6.8-7 is too high, 6.5-6.8 is better
You need a LOT of air flow
And you'll want to switch to tap water or distilled plus calmag plus.
Why are you using your bloom nutes during the vegetative period? You need more nitrogen than they can provide.

Ok I have some calmag so adding that is not a problem. I'm guessing if I lower the water ph a little that will bring down the soil ph.
Increasing air flow as far as intake and exhaust is something I will have to look into and figure something out. I started using the bloom nutes cause I posted in my grow log and I had a suggestion of a molybdenum deficency and I did not see that in any of my nutes besides tigerbloom so that's y. I guess if anything I should have just added a little of that to my grow big. I'll switch back to that also hopefully things improve.

for serious? i just circulate the air around the room and into the rest of the house. would freash air make a big difference (enough to warrant devising some kind of conpley vertilation to the outdoors from a basement room)

the main way I see it being of any help is to bring in new co2 since im assuming outside air has higher amounts than inside

A plant will use all the co2 around it in no time plus it is a stupidly low percent of co2 in the air something like 2-5% so more air = more yield :rasta:
