So below is a filled out form, filled out to the BEST of my knowledge. I have pictures of the leaves themselves, and the grow room, so if any red flags come up please let me know.
What is your experience level? Novice, 2nd grow
Your Equipment:
1000w MH for veg, have a 400w hps, but going to get another most likely
.2) Distance from tops? Middle plant 7"-8", others (8"-14")
.3) Reflector type? Big circular 360 degree reflector
.4) Is there a consistent fresh air supply? Grow is in bedroom, door stays open, two fans circulate... but from outside not so much. Ive been opening my windows at night.
.5) Do you have an exhaust fan and a circulation fan? Just 2 circ fans
.6) What are the bulb wattages, kelvin ratings, and schedule? 1000 mh, no clue on the kelvin, this setup was given to me. the light sched is 18/6
Your medium:
.7) Specific brand and type of soil, (coco, peat based soilless...) and anything you've added to it. (vermiculite, perlite, worm castings...)
Soil- Miracle Grow Micromax (feeds up to 6 months) 0.21 0.07 0.14
.8) Size of container. Im using 3gal pots
.9) Did you use peat pucks (or similar) to root clones or germinate seedlings?
I started from rooter plugs
Your nutrients and water:
10) Source of water? (tap, bottled or filtered) What's it's ph before adjusting?
Tap water left out over 48hrs. Before adjusting its a cool 6.5-6.8
11) Method of checking water ph. (ph pen, test strips, aquarium test kit...)
ph pen, digital, within 0.1
12) Method of adjusting water ph. (phosphoric acid, white vinegar, hydrated lime, PH Up...)
pH up/down
13) Specific brand and N-P-K ratio for each bottle. List dosages (quantity per gallon) and current feeding schedule.
The soil im using is 0.21 0.07 0.14. I've also been using Fox Farms Big Bloom and Grow Big. Plants are 5 weeks old, and Ive only fed them twice with these additives, because I just bought em 2 weeks ago. Every other watering. First watering, 1tablespoon BB per gal, and 1tablespoon GB per gal.
2nd watering, 2 tablespoons BB per gal, 4teaspoons of GB per gal.
14) How often are you watering between feedings, and how much per watering? I water every 4-5 days, feeding every other watering, which has only been twice. I was getting by with 3gal of water for 3gal x7 buckets, but had to upgrade to 4gal of water last feeding. Last water/feeding was a feeding 7/22 at night, so today i was thinking of watering.
15) Any additives or tea's? (Superthrive, CalMag, molasses, Mother's Earth...)
Nope
16) Are your ph levels stable, or do they fluctuate?
When I add my nutes, pH drops to 5.0 or just below, and I bring it up with pH up. Water left out from the tap stays in a great range of 6.5-6.8
17) What is your ingoing water's ph? ...your runoff ph?
Usually 6.8 going in, never checked the runoff ! =[
18) Do you foliar feed? If so, with what, how often, and at what time do you spray? Never given the leaves any spray, nadda.
Your growroom:
19) Indoors or outdoors? Indoor
20) What size of closet, room or hut? 7' x 13' room
21) What are the temps and humidity levels while lights are on? ...With lights off? Lights on, on a hot day, room is 85, has hit 90, but with 2 fans going, it feels rather cool under the light. Also, I run my AC central air unit, and it has 2 vents in this small room.. dunno why but good for the grow haha.
22) Have you seen signs of insects in the growroom? Little tiny affits I think thats what they are... I saw one bug, one time, and I killed it. Ever since that, just 1-2 affits at a time.
Your strain:
23) What strain are you growing? (Indica dominate or Sativa dom?)
I know 3 of the 7 are white widow barney farms indica dominate. 4 Other are bagseed.
24) From seeds or clones? Seeds
25) Is this an autoflower strain? No
Plants are 5 weeks old, just over 40 days. Been using the 1000w for last 3 weeks, started em on t12s, then a 400w mh, then this 1000w. Door for the room stays open all day, but at night I close it halfway, but lights go off shortly after I do that. I also do that so they can have a BETTER night period. Also, I am doing LST method.
I could say until a few days ago, the plants leaves on the mid to lower range are the only ones effected, but now some of the top ones are yellow/brown. Leaves on every plant have lighter then usualll green to yellow and then to brown spots on the yellow leaves. Some of the leaves seem to have a little bit of whitening on em, not in spots, but in a natural occurance.. Only other thing I think I should mention is the two fans are aimed at the canopy at low speed, and im figuring the air rises and comes out the door.
