What's wrong

Baneomaine · May 11, 2020

Currently growing in a little homemade tent so they can veg before I plant them at the end of the month I'm in northern Maine so it's still cold. I'm running only two bulbs to maintain the heat in the tent( a t5 flourecent sunblaze 6500k 5000lumen so whatever that is in half) and have them in with some promix, I've been on a new feeding schedule for a week cause I was overwatering, in short I've been giving them some nutes I had from my buddies grow op he gave me when he gave up and I've been giving them a little bit of that when I water them; which is every 5 days. They have been in these cups since April 13th and maybe in just impatient but they don't seem to be big for being almost a month old. What could I be doing wrong, constructive criticism verywelcomed as it's my first grow.

Just not a lot of light and probably not a ton of nutrients. Also, I'm guessing it's been a little cool in their grow tent?

They'll be fine though. What specifically are you feeding them? They look N deficient.

I rarely say this but they could probably use a little more food. And if that fixture is 4 lights run all 4.

If I put all 4 bulbs in it gets to hot but I have 2 fans on and it actually runs high 70s and on warm days I have trouble keeping it under 82 83 not really sure how some people keep their tents so damn cool

Research, design, engineering, and money.

My plants grow just fine and it's 29c (night) - 36c (day) ........... 84f-96f.
Not enough light is usually the problem with slow grow and yellow leaves IMHO.

Seems like the plants curl up badly when I get them that hot

As far as nutes I fill the 10ml thingy I have with part a dump it in a 28 oz spray bottle and then 10 more ml of part b and again 10 more ml of voodoo juice and I've only been feeding them for 2 watering cycles

Not to do with too hot, to do with day/night temperature range.
Cannabis is a tropical plant, tropical temperatures often go higher than 40c.

plants look good all things considered they just look hungry. if you want them to grow faster you need more light and the light to be closer. in veg i run my t5s at 25 watts per sq foot and i keep them like 6-8 inches from my plants. then you can increase nutrients. in promix i feed my plants 1.4EC with every watering, which is about every other day. do those containers have adequate drainage? you should try to get them elevated if possible so water can drain freely. promix should dry very fast.

if its getting hot in there first thing u need is an exhaust fan

I keep the lights on 24/7

Yes they have holes poked in the bottom and the stuff I have under it wicks up moisture and it evaporates quickly the pH is steady at 6.5 and I have a fan blowing on the plants and one blowing in cold air from the top ( see picture ) they definitely do something at least
haha

This is what it looks like all closed up at night
The fan works better when it's closed for some reason

I put in all 4 lights and give them a good shot of nutes and added some b52 to the mix so hopefully they stop killing the big old fan leaves it seems like when the plants finally get a good couple of fan leaves it sucks them dry for some new ones
