Poor little Runty! :sadcrying

Only thing I'll say about the fan is that it'll dry them out quicker, so you need to watch that. But from everything I've seen Mand you've never had a problem with the plants to warrant worrying about their stems being stronger than they ever have. I had fans in the room going at all times but it was only to control the heat. Keep the air moving around a little. But it was in a far smaller area than what you're using.

As far as another 'problem' with this grow? If you've done well with most other grows, and all of a sudden you're having some problems with the last few, I'd be thinking something in your compost if everything else is the same. Makes no sense why you'd be having problems if everything was exactly the same. Which suggests that something isn't. If the water's the same. Room is the same. Lights are the same. It seems that the only variable might be the dirt they're in. I can see where if you throw just about anything in there that would degrade down that some things probably aren't the ultimate growing substrate for plants. I don't know what those might be unless they were acidic, such as orange peels, grapefruit peels, tomatos, stuff like that. If they're changing the pH of the soil then that could be part of the problem.

Or how about your heater? If that's no doubt sucking oxygen out of the room, which is has to be, and also probably kicking out some fumes, that might be something to look at also.

Just brain stormin' Mand! I for sure don't have all the answers.

You have a nice day. :dance:
