First time grow starts tomorrow!
So i went in this morning to find the two weakest of my girls wilting even more and where ever there were already burn marks, it spread; on all of them! It's not catastrophic, but it did get me searching the net! I kinda of narrowed it down to a few things. First i added a humidifier! We were around 45-55% range, and with the humidifier, we jumped (depending whether the ac kicked in or not) between 55-75%! Then I realized at the distance i had my MH 1000W about the girls, it wasn't reaching the other end of the flower bed adequately (only having one on at a time). I was previously planning to use MH and HPS on alternating days, but there is a big-enough-to-matter difference in the lumen output between the two. So, i went back to using both MH and at the same time. They are about 3' 1/2 above foliage. I had to mess around with the ac and placement of humidifier to get it consistent. Now the only problem i had was the relentless wilting of two Skywalkers! I read up, and used a little common sense, and came to the conclusion that they are in shock. I'm sure it's got to be a big change going from their nice little humi-dome under some fluorescents, to a large room, with (temporarily) low humidity, different lighting, etc etc. So I read a bit about using a clear plastic cup with holes in it over the plant to recreate the environment and humidity. I put them on the worst ones, and it seemed to work on the worst one! The middle, newest, growth, had come back to life! Pretty Excited! So, i will leave them like that overnight, leaving lights off for 6 hrs tonight and on til flower. Let the room get moist and turn everything off. Ac on standby, to catch the lights turning on in a.m. Alright, I'll post again when i see some results!
