I just had a great cycle of Dina Fem Purple Afghan Kush.
I got 4 lbs thinking I was hot shitand baught some fluence 2is and redid my flower room for another round of Purple Afghans I had backed upand ready to go in for a short turnover time.
plants were healthy and green with green flexible stems in there 1 gallons. & stayed under 2 600 watt metal halides in the adjacent room in a 4x8 tent.
these plants were 5-6 weeks old from clone when I put them into 3 gallon containers and into the flower room.
the flower room at this point consists of 1 4x 8 spread by 1800 watts of metal halide ( just writing that seems like a lot of light for my somewhat young plants) and 1 more 4x8 under 2 full power fluence 2i .
metal halides were roughly 20 inches off canopy while pi fluence were mounted on the ceiling a good. 3 foot plus off canopy.
and boom I thought I would be rambling.
in the 4x8 tent in 1 gallons plants were getting fed 2x daily at around 1.2 ec
I run roots gold by house and garden 1 or 2 times a week and other than that my reseirvors are such
pro tech silica ( 1 ml per gallon) first input
Botanicals CaMg ( I was at 3.5 ml but just today topped off my Res to a full 5 mls to see if that helps. I’ve had botanicals CaMg up to 6ml gal at one point last round ....maybe it’s that easy?)
flora flex base nutrients on 1/1 ratio.
ro water
When I transplanted I kept the feed the same at 1.2.
The ratio of that first Res was 1 ml silica/gal 3.5 ml CaMg/gal 1 gram v1 1 gram v2 —> 1.2-1.3 ec. My ph floats from 5.5-6.0
the room is injected with co2 800-1000ppm
my temps have been high 78-82 daytime 70-72 nighttime (Fahrenheit)
while my humidity during the day floats from 55-60 percent and night timeroughly the same.
basically 3-4 days post transplant I noticed what I thought wasapparent light stress accompanied by slow growth pale fan leaves and purple hard stiff woody stemsZ
all big problems especially in coco.
I immediately turned offfluence led and replaced that 4x8 with 2 315 watt cmh. & went to my run off for information.
also I started 1x daily watering after transplantwhichbwas a week ago then quickly ramped up to 3x daily feeds because my run off reflected hungry plants.
for example 36 hours after transplant I watered at 650 ppm to see roughly 400 ppm in my run off... soooo...... i thought increase strength and frequency.
I know I’m all over the place and if I’ve left out info please ask and overall I feel as though there’s something I’m missing.
the other day for about 3-4 hour my room was baking at 4000ppm co2( leak on my valve)
everything has just been bad and alll insight helps I REALLY can’t afford to lose this room!
thanks growers if anyone needs more photos let me know.
my plan is to let things dry down better go back to once daily feed every 24 hours and observe the rise in CaMgs effect today. I do have a dimmer for the fluence set up but won’t bring them back into the picture until plants start growing again......
