How cold does it get? Do you have a big temp swing between on and off lights? And it’s possible could be your fan... you should try mounting it abit Higher and aiming away from your plant, you just want air circulating in the whole area...
The coldest I've seen my thermometer is 8.9°c that was today because it was only 5 degrees now its 18°c with the lights on

Pretty cold mate I’m running between 18 and 24 degrees constant usually sits around 22 anything in single digits wouldn’t be good for the plants growth.. maybe add a little oil heater and heat the air up, but I just read your post before keep that heater on, sounds like u in abit of a cold spot

I usually feed at 1.6 till week 3 of flower then bump it up to a Max of 2.2/2.4 around week 7/8 depending on how long they flower

Do you reckon the cold could do this? Or is my fan to close?
They also look over watered a bit and others have said fan is to close.

When the temps drop its important to try to keep the root ball as warm as possible. Its one of the reasons I use such large pots. be interesting to see how cold my tent gets this morning. It was 1c outside at home by 10pm, nice heavy frost this morning.

They are in rdwc so maybe I should check my airstone and my pumps, my water temp is 18-20°c, lol yeah I had snow on the hills just out the back of my place

wouldn't be over watered then, I sometimes get that "wave" to the leaf in soil.
Yeah I think I'm going to turn my water heater up and my room heater and see if the perk back up, I have my fan blowing above them now and I have dropped my ec from 1.9 to 1.5 to see if that helps

Looking into setting up a greenhouse with supplemental lighting and black out tarps so I can grow all year round in it. Hopefully can get a start on it after the O.D season finishes,thinking of something like this but 8m x 4m x 3m in size
