Ok so I’m running a blueberry auto indoors. She was planted in soil on 3/29 . I’m having trouble keeping the temp down around 75-80 degrees F and also keeping humidity up around 65% . The temp is running about 84-86 degrees F and 40-45% humidity. Could this be my problem? If this is not my problem then here is my other theory . I had a bunch of seeds die due to overwatering according to ilgm’s support guy . So I backed off on watering to every couple of days instead of every day . It seems like the girls didn’t like that . I grew 4 photos from premium seed market in this same tent with the exact same setup, watered them every day and they seemed to love it . Could it be just the difference in genetics? Those went so smoothly it made me feel like a pro on my first grow but this run has been completely opposite. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Try putting a dome over them and mist the inside of the dome and remove it s little every day to allow for some fresh air
Would the higher temp significantly affect an indica or ?
Whether it is an indica or a sativa (or any individual strain for that matter) has very little to do with heat tolerance. I’ve run blueberry plants up to 88F without problems.
Some autos just don’t perform. You’ll have to let it grow and see how it works out. I’d suggest photoperiod plants going forward. Autos are a crapshoot, particularly for new growers who aren’t familiar with solving problems early. It is a myth that autos are easier to grow. They are more sensitive to nutes, some will turn out to be runts, you don’t know when they are going to flower so they can be difficult to train, and they are twitchy overall.
Overwatering is common with young plants. It’s best to measure waterings in ml at this stage. Overwatering leads to poor root health since cannabis needs wet/dry cycles so the roots can breathe and take in oxygen.
What soil are you in? Looks like ocean forest? Are you adding nutrients?
Definitely very very warm for an auto. Iv never grown an auto that didn’t struggle over 80 degrees. Can you turn the lights down to lower temps and just move the lights closer?
A VPD of 2.3 is a lot of pressure on a plant especially a young one! It’s using a lot of water to maintain itself and what’s in that water is nutrients, it’s burning itself because of the environment.
Can you turn the light down to 25% and run it 24 hours? And see what type of stable conditions you can get? Send me a picture of your past parameters.
Sorry to make this into three posts, just brainstorming.
Like mentioned above definitely get some humidity domes, but that’s only a bandaid for the time being.
The key is to know your grow and I have no problem at all taking some time helping you dial in your environment.
Right now she just needs a little chicken soup and some rest haha.
