Hi ladies and gentlemen, havent been on for a while. First grow this year, I have 2 plants on the go, a Speed bud auto and another auto that i cant remember the name of, theres about 2-3weeks between starting each seed. Every thing started fine and the same as the other grows I have done with the same set up. My temp usually runs a little hot 30-34'c, thats with a fresh air intake straight from out side and exhaust fan, a fan blowing direcrly under the hps and a fan blowing on the plants. im on a mission this year to get it sorted, im waiting on a (hopefully) better exhaust fan to arrive in the post.
My grow space is 1.5' x 1.5' x 5'8
250w hps (bulb changed 2 grows ago)
This year i added the fan under the hps and found i could get the light 6-8inches away from the 3 week old speed bud. After a day r 2 the leave started to get signs of heat stress (leaves cupping upwards) so i moved the light to around 2 foot away, the cupping stoped but the leaves then started to go yellow from the middle of the leaf out, starting with the oldest leaves working its way up. The palnt went into flower 2weeks ago and there hadnt been much bud growth and now bud growth seems to have stopped altogether. Is the early damage still effecting the plant now or am i still getting heat/light stress.? The light is 2 foot above the plants, i have a lux meter bought and waiting on that to arrive also. By the way i have never had this much problems growing photos in the same space
