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.
I Also Tested My Ph In My Soil Today Finally Lol Both Of My Ph In My Plants Soil Is Between 6.4 - 6.6 So That Seems Like A Good Range For Ph In Soil.
Here Are My Plants, The First One Is A Month Old & The Other Is 3-4 Weeks Old. What Does It Mean When Some Of Your Marijuana Leafs Turn From A Dark Green To A Lime Green On The Sides Of Sum Leaves?? Because This Is Happening To Some Of The Leafs On My Oldest Plant And Idk If This Is A Problem Or Not...The First Pic Is My Oldest, The Second Is A Example Of What Is Happening To Some Of My Leafs On My Oldest Plant And The Last Is My Youngest. The Oldest Is 8inches Tall And The Youngest Is 11inches Tall.
u have a magnesium deficiency. to properly test your ph,do a run off test.put a container under the pot u have your plants in.flush with plain water until u get run off in the container below,test the ph of the water in it.
Magnesium (Mg) - Micronutrient and Mobile Element
Magnesium helps supports healthy veins while keeping a healthy leaf production and its structure. Magnesium is significant for chlorophyll-production and enzyme break downs. Magnesium which must be present in relatively large quantities for the plant to survive, but yet not to much to where it will cause the plant to show a toxicity.
Magnesium is one of the easiest deficiencies to tellâ?¦ the green veins along with the yellowness of the entire surrounding leave is a dead giveaway, but sometimes thatâ??s not always the case here. In case you have one of those where it doesnâ??t show the green veins, sometimes leaf tips and edges may discolor and curl upward. The growing tips can turn lime green when the deficiency progresses to the top of the plant. The edges will feel like dry and crispy and usually affects the lower leaves in younger plants, then will affect the middle to upper half when it gets older, but It can also happen on older leaves as well. The deficiency will start at the tip then will take over the entire outer left and right sides of the leaves. The inner part will be yellow and or brownish in color, followed by leaves falling without withering. The tips can also twist and turn as well as curving upwards as if you curl your tongues.
Excessive levels of magnesium in your plants will exhibit a buildup of toxic salts that will kill the leaves and lock out other nutrients like Calcium (Ca). Mg can get locked out by having too much Calcium, Chlorine or ammonium in your soil/water.
One of the worst problems a person can have is a magnesium def caused by a ph lockout. By giving it more magnesium to cure the problem when you are thinking you are doing good, but actually you are doing more harm then good. When the plants canâ??t take in a nutrient because of the ph being off for that element, the plant will not absorb it but it will be in the soilâ?¦ therefore causing a buildup. A buildup will be noticed by the outer parts of the plant becoming whitish and or a yellowish color. The tips and part way in on the inner leaves will die and feel like glass. Parts affected by Magnesium deficiency are: space between the veins (Interveinal) of older leaves; may begin around interior perimeter of leaf.
Problems with Magnesium being locked out by PH troubles
Light Acid Soils, soils with excessive potassium, calcium and or phosphorus
Soil
Magnesium gets locked out of soil growing at ph levels of 2.0-6.4
Magnesium is absorbed best in soil at a ph level of 6.5-9.1 . (Wouldnâ??t recommend having a ph of over 7.0 in soil) anything out of the ranges listed will contribute to a Magnesium deficiency.
Hydro and Soil less Mediums
Magnesium gets locked out of Hydro and Soil less Mediums at ph levels of 2.0-5.7
Magnesium is absorbed best in Hydro and Soil less Mediums at ph levels of 5.8-9.1
(Wouldnâ??t recommend having a ph over 6.5 in hydro and soil less mediums.) Best range for hydro and soil less mediums is 5.0 to 6.0. Anything out of the ranges listed will contribute to a Magnesium deficiency.
Solution to fixing a Magnesium deficiency
Any Chemical/Organic nutrients that have Magnesium in them will fix a Magnesium deficiency. (Only mixing at ½ strength when using chemical nutrients or it will cause nutrient burn!)
Other nutrients that have magnesium in them are: Epsom salts, which is fast absorption. Dolomite lime and or garden lime (same thing just called different) which is slow absorption. Sulfate of Potash, Magnesia which is medium absorption. Worm Castings, which is slow absorption. Crabshell which is slow absorption. Earth Juice Mircoblast, which is fast acting. (a must buy!! Has lots of 2ndary nutrients).
Now if you added to much chemical nutrients and or organics,( which is hard to burn your plants when using organics) You need to Flush the soil with plain water. You need to use 2 times as much water as the size of the pot, for example: If you have a 5 gallon pot and need to flush it, you need to use 10 gallons of water to rinse out the soil good enough to get rid of excessive nutrients.
Thanx Man. How Much Epson Salt Would I Have To Add To My Soil To Fix the Problom??? And Does Adding The Epson Salt Increase The Ph In the Soil or does It increase anything else In the soil??
