Most pathetic plant I've grown. Any tips?

From left 2 right haha that's funny. What kind of light were those under? Why is lefty so large
The 2 autos(gg,tg) in the 2x2 are under 1 Meijiu 240w QB and the 4 autos in the 4x4 under 2 Meijius QBs240w. I'm not sure, the smaller ones on the left had some "minor accidents". Were "damaged" by a fan that was blowing too hard and then I almost broke the main stem. I was being an idiot. You could see the difference from early on.

Guys, plant's tips are getting more purple everyday. It's not even that cold. Where exactly is the correct position to place the thermometer? I have it in canopy level but in the corner and it reads around 22°c. It should even be warmer in the middle of canopy because the light is more interse there. At night time, it should be cold as shit but it's only 4 hours off. How low of a temp is considered "unhealthy" for the plants? I will check the thermometer once the lights go out.20210107_165419.jpg20210107_164952.jpg20210107_164945.jpg

I think you have a pH issue, Which causing deficiencies. In the last pic bottom left there is yellowing and brown spots.
For coldness, if you get down to 15c it can turn purple and slow things down.
The thermometer, I put hiding in the upper leaves. You don’t want the light hitting it, raising the # artificially. So under a leaf. Or near the container, depends where you want to measure. I have 2-3 probes to see the difference throughout the tent.

Hello amigo! There's no pH issue, it's just that plant being a bitch. I've been feeding 6 plants the same solution, same pH. Only that one is not happy. Yellowing, rust spots, purple tips, twisting leaves you fucking name it. Thanks for the response.

So the temp is a little low, is your humidity around 30-40 all the time? If where you live is a dry place you could humidify during lights on and turn it off during lights out

It's been 35-50 since day 1. I don't have a humidifier. Need to get one and also EC meter for sure. I once filled the tent tray halfway with water but surprisingly didn't do sh**. A humidifier would also raise temps so it would have been very useful right now.

Ok another trick would be to change up your ventilation. If you are trying to keep heat in, then don’t blow it out. Have the fan blow air downwards across the light, and get the heat around the root zone up. If you stop ventilating, humidity will go up as transpiration goes up, the heat go up if you don’t vent as much out, but it’s a dangerous line to dance, you have to find the perfect equilibrium

I have no ventilation for the 2x2 because it's next to my bed and the fans were tilting me lol. So I just have the tentdoor half way open. Let's just hope they will survive lol.

Ok thermodynamicly speaking, should you open the tent at the top or the bottom? I think the bottom, we want the heat from the light to build up at the top of the tent and work it’s way down, if you have it open at the top the heat will escape

this is going to invide mold inside the colas. maybe you can use 12V PC case fans, these are quite silent to my experience and also can be controlled easily in strength via an adjustable 1-12V power adapter. also your plants need to get CO2, and therefore, a steady bit of ventilation and air exchange is necessary. if you're in a tent these could be used to press air either inwards or outwards or both into your tent, and you can then even use the variations in fan-speed to have a little influence on the tent temps and rH.

Yup, you're speaking the truth. I also have the lower "velcros tent windows" open. I just want the plant to breathe as much as possible.

Thanks for the input. I get what you're saying. I shouldn't have grown in my bedroom lol. I will place a fan but will turn it off for 6-7 hours when I sleep.

ac Infinity 4in is pretty quiet. sometimes I have to put my hand on it on settings 1- 3. I do have kids and 2 dogs so we might have different definitions of quiet

I know it, it's amazing. Wanted to get it but I'm in EU and the shipping was killing me. It will be my last bedroom grow no though no worries :D

Guys, the left plant (gorilla glue) is still being a pain in the ass. Leaves are still yellowing and purpleing but rust spots are not increasing I guess. It's day 60 now so 30 days tops until harvest. My question is, since more and more leaves will be dying, can the buds even grow with no leaves? Lmao! I guess no photosynthesis occurs then. Thank you.20210109_204228.jpg20210109_204233.jpg

Hey guys anyone know if it would be beneficial to add Molasses in my nute mix, while some nutes being synthetic? Are the soil bacteria/microbes even alive after synthetic nute use? Thanks.
