Major issues with plants. HELP!!
PICS BELOW AND IN MY GALLERY ALSO!
Seeds or clones, source? Seeds FIRST GROW
How old are the plants? 66 days
How big are the plants? 1'6" - 2'
Lighting wattage & distance? Veg'd under (3) 45 watt flouros 24/0; 400watt HPS w/remote ballast
Soil ingredients or hydro system? Miracle Grow Soil 4gal. plus 1/2gal. bone meal
Container size? 5gal.
Watering frequency? How do you judge this? every 5-7 days, moisture meter (1=dry; 4=wet) kinda basic soil meter but okay.
Fertilizers used and how often? Dutch nutes veg for first 2 weeks flowering
How do you ventilate the space? old air mover vent system kinda rigged; maybe like 200cfm's
Other details? Include photos if possible.
Okay these plants are having some issues. After an extremely long vegging period (like 8.5 weeks) I finally drove far to the nearest Hydroponics store and picked up a 400watt HPS with batwing type reflector and a remote ballast. I also picked up good Dutch nutes (used miracle grow nuts in half strength for vegging) NOTE: These plants were switched to a 12/12 schedule at day 60.
I think maybe the switch to HPS lighting kinda out of nowhere might have fried them. I have the light roughing 2 feet above the plants. I have a really strong desk fan blowing directly into the light and the face of the hood to help with cooling. The temps were roughing 93 degrees F during the lights on. Darkness hours the temp fell to like 75 degrees F. The cabinet is a C22 from Home Depot.
The vent system is 2in PVC exhaust system hooked up to an old air mover I had sitting around that is pulling air out of the system prolly around 200cfm's. The air is routed into the attick through an old 8in vent releasing air outside and at the top of the attick. The cabinet leaks like a crazy for induction of air purposes and (2)2in PVC air inlets.
I watered them each with 300ml of a (2liter + 2(1/2 tsp) of Dutch veg nutes. The next day 3 of the 6 plants showed over watering with droppy leaves. The other 3 are fine. I left the house on thursday night to work 2 hours away and returned Monday morning at 11am. I figured they would remain wet for the entire period since I watered too much. When I returned today I had major problems. The pics in my gallery will show you...
