I'm still new to hydroponics and using LED lights for growing, but I have 2 plants growing in an aerogarden LED for fun, and the mid to upper leaves have started to curl inward over the last few days, and 'might' also be affecting some pepper plants I have growing in the same reservoir.
Some details on the grow:
-Both plants are autoflower
-Both plants are 38 days old from seed
-The light being used is a 50w LED array about 1" from the top of the tallest plant
-Everything in the reservoir had a recent bout with root rot which has since been rectified using bleach and plain water changed every 3 days for a week. Since recovery, these plants have been exploding with new root growth, and both continue to grow & flower about half an inch a day.
-The fertilizer being used since recovery is Fox Farms Open Sesame (5-45-19) along with 1/2tsp Epsom Salt and 1/2tsp CalMg
-PH is at 5.5
-Water pump runs 24/7
-Temperature in the room is 75'F~80'F day, 67'F~75'F night
As you can see, the garden for the most part looks to be doing really well for one that recovered from root rot, and the plant on the right has almost as many bud sites as it has leaves to feed them The pepper plant isn't doing bad either with a dozen or so flowers forming on it despite it being only a few inches tall, so I just don't understand what's up with the curling leaves.
