ANYONE PLEASE HELP!!!

[toker4life]

I have a humidifier but I really dont want mold or wildew growing in my home. .

does anyone know how long it should take for the plant to recover. it seems to be stabilizing much better.

[Aaron385]

stabilizing with or without nutes?

[toker4life]

ok. I have a 3 gallon bucket.

I put 2 1/2 gallons distilled in there with 3/4 teaspoon TOTAL of Micro, Grow, Bloom each since I wanted to avoid the burn problem again.

They don't seem to be curling or anything. However the top leaves are more yellow than green.

How long should it be before I see growth again?
What could be causing this yellowish color?

Is there a guide online about different kinds of plant deficiencies?

heck yea there is..

My method on nutes was to add untill signs of stress with a enough room in my res to add plain water to dilute once stress was noticed (about 1/6 strength).. then run that mix for a week and swap out for 1/2 strength, run that for a week, then go full.. didnt have any issues with that.. noticed a little leaf curl up when I went half and full but it cleared up within a couple days and it was obviously not bad, just a noticable reaction. Now plants are super happy at 1000ppm.

oh and check your humidity with a hygrometer.. some climates it would be very accurate about not needing a humidifier but if you live in a dry hot climate the centeral a/c in your house will lower humidity to the point it will stress the plants.. I was getting 25% humidity in the grow box without a humidifier and the humidifier uses one gallon of water a day just to maintain 50% in a 2x4x4 cabinet.

Sometimes a plant shows stress when there is a combination off too much heat and too much nutes. Reduce either one of the two and the problem sometimes goes away.

A good grow room temp is about 85F. I've read about plants doing just fine in grow rooms that were 105. Different strains do differently in this area.

I wouldn't even consider a closet set up without air exchange, unless maybe I was using a couple of weak flouros.

CO2 can help allow a higher temp band too.. might look at one of the el-cheapo co2 solutions.

[toker4life]

I will definately do that.

I am working on the solution now.

I am going to try a couple of things to see what's up.

[toker4life]

ok. humidity is at 55%.

Temp is remaining stable at around 85.

Plant still not showing signs of progress. What now?

How long does it take for a plant to recover from nute burn shock?

[Aaron385]

im sure others have opinions about this.. Im sure the only right answer is the one you will have in a couple weeks.. but for me it was 1 week with almost nothing going on (better than the burning look) and then I upped nutes to half strenght.. about one more week with very little top growth.. roots were growing tho.. then full strength after two weeks and they are now goin to town.

good humidity too.. dont need the humidifier.. temps should be fine too but you might want to add co2 with that HPS light.. that would make your temps ideal.

well, i think you are fighting the wrong thing here. What is the temp of the water in the bucket? It should be 75 or less. 68 is usually optimal but that is all a preference thing. Use frozen pop bottles or ice or whatever you can to chill the water. That is what i think is the problem. If the water is 70 and the room is 95 (which will suck because you will go through a lot of ice making) then everything will grow fine.

My best guess.
