Under watering?
I'm baffled. For the last 4 days or so I have been trying to figure out why the leaves are drooping. The weather outside is starting to get lower but I have been carefully watching the children. The temps never get lower then 65 at night and during the day no higher then 85. I added a timer for my fogger which was set to 15 on and 15 off. I took it back off 2 days ago. The misters were set to about 30 off and 1 minute on when this problem started so I backed it off to about 1 minute one and 5 off. I have been playing around with it some too like increasing the time to 2 minutes on and 3 off, that sort of thing. I cant figure out whether they want more water, more time between waterings or less of either/both. At night my timer goes to a 10 second on 7 minutes off for the misters and the fogger still stays on 24 hours. The plants get slightly healthier looking during the night then by the morning they perk up nice and healthy. 3/4 through the day they start to look bad again. This can be 4 or more hours from lights out.
PPM's are at about 225 or so and it's been a week since I last changed the water. I am building a new system, hoping to be done in next day or two so I was holding off water change till then. PH creeps up to about 6.3 at most, then I bring it back to 5.8.
I'm just amazed at how finicky these things can be. I watch them nearly 24 hours a day and I never have a clue what the hell happened when they go to shit on me.Prodaytrader Reviewed by Prodaytrader on . Under watering? I'm baffled.
