I built a really cool armoire out, and basically tried everything in the book to pimp it out fully. I split it into a top and bottom configuration, so both chambers are about 40 inches wide, 28 inches deep, and 30 inches tall. The top chamber is on 4 CFLs, 45w each, and the bottom chamber has a 400w HPS with a cool tube. I am using an Aeroponics machine for a cloner up top, growing mothers in soil in the same upper chamber, and doing DWC grow in the bottom of the armoire for flowering.
Heres my problem:
The top chamber works like a champ, and Im pushing out clones like nobody's business. Once they get moved into the lower chamber to flower though, the almost immediately die. Heres the weird part: When I turned off the HPS light and basically gave up on this batch of clones, they started picking up their leaves, and actually got better! I turn the light back on, and they immediately wither up again.
Now for the record, this batch of clones came from a buddy growing in soil, and they where already in flowering when I got them. Im not sure if they are dieing because of the close proximity of the light, or because they shouldnt have gone to DWC after soil, or if maybe I should have just cloned them under CFLS instead of trying to dump them directly into HPS.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
