A question of a fellow grower:
How do you know if your lights are too kuch to handle ? Is 400hps too much in a small 2 x 3 foot tent some of the leaves startedto yellow un small spots. The nutrient solution is super low lije 500ppm the ph is 6.0.

what are your min/max temps? are you venting your tent/grow?
it would help if you filled out support ticket
In soil?? Ph upto 6.5 in soil

I will take a pic tonight but it is a 2x3’ closet, 5’ tall, 4 inch ducting with 170cfm fan and tall boy filter, 5 gal 4 site bubble boy buckets, random seeds so unknown geneticts, co2 exhale 365 bag in tent. Using city water so ppm was 150 to start w city water and when they started looking a little bigger like their first
Yeah 170 cfm, going down to low seventies and then up to like 88

are you using any microbes to help in the uptake of nutrients?
for example,mammoth p,recharge,pirranah?
Fill this Support Ticket out so that we can better help you ok
ILGM Support Ticket:
What is the strain?
Indoor or Outdoor? If outdoor, planted in ground or in a container?
Size of space?
Soil or Hydro? Type of Medium used?
pH? Of the soil or medium (root zone) and of the water that is fed to the plant?
Type of nutrients used? NPK? EC/PPM levels?
Temperature? Day vs. night temp or highest and lowest temps? Root zone temps?
Humidity %?
Light system/watts/lumens/FLUX/PAR?
Number “weeks/days” from into Season, Vegetative Growth or Bloom/flowering?
Thanks i just kind of e mailed them and they posted this i need to figure that out i guess the ticket thing. Max temp hit 88 ive been trying to keep it lower but fans on full blast, maybe point it directly at plants?
-
Strain; Type, Bag seed, or NA
Random, medicinal quality but not feminized or anything -
Soil in pots, Hydroponic, or Coco?
Hydro -
System type?
Tent 2x3’ 5 gal bubble boy, 2 seperate 4 banger buckets but since i was starting from seed i put 2 plants in each site and planned to kill the males and tske them out asap… maybe too much for the buckets? -
PH of runoff or solution in reservoir?
5.8-6, climbs about a tenth a day -
What is strength of nutrient mix? EC, or TDS
Started with almost nothing and built up to about 500 of food, advanced nutes, gorilla grow 3 part, feeding 1:1:1, was city water so started at like 150 and im up to 650 total, i think the ec was -1300 -

This is where i think it went bad, its winter here and the humidity was at 20 and i didnt realise it so now i have a humidifier in there this is only the second day though and they are almost 2 weeks old so now it is 40-50 -

Co2; Yes, No
Exhale 365 bag
Also i have some stump tea microbes was going to maybe add half the bag to each bucket when i switch the water out here at the 2 week mark

this will help,watch your ph numbers and you might can bump up ppm numbers when you add microbes…
i use new microbes every res. change
Thanks for the advice, i think it would just be enough for the two buckets for one cycle but i could get more, thats kind of expensive to be tossing a bag in every two weeks.the directions either pretty much call for it to be split completely between the buckets or be added to clones roots 1/4 tsp at a time in the rock wool.
Its dro, trying to stay between 5.8 to 6.2 but done a pretty good job staying between 5.8 and 6
Hey threw the stump tea in and it got super foamy so i had to cut the mixture wayyy down it was like a damn foam machine coming out the sites… should i just lower the bucket water levels way down? I saved most of the tea in another bucket so i could toss it bsck in quick but do yiu have any experience with this? Or should i maybe just switch products?

foaming is not good,you may need to try something that will not foam up on you…
