Answer these simple questions the best you can.
If you do not know, or do not use something; Just say so = NA

Strain; Type, Bag seed, or NA. WW, SSH,SS

Soil in pots, Hydroponic, or Coco? Soil

System type?grow tent

PH of runoff or solution in reservoir?n/a

What is strength of nutrient mix? EC, or TDS seaweed

Indoor or Outdoor Indoor

Light system, size? 600w mh

Temps; Day, Night. 81/69

Humidity; Day, Night 49%

Ventilation system; Yes, No, Size yes has apolo inline fan 6"

AC, Humidifier, De-humidifier, humidifier and fans

Co2; Yes, No. No

Lights are about 28" away

A couple questions:

  1. How long have they been growing in veg ?
  2. What is the pH of your water in and run-off ? Important !
    3, Daytime temp is a little high if they are young plants. Daytime is pretty good. Ideally the temp should vary about 10 degrees, which your does, but the high temp should be a few degrees lower. 75 - 78 Running the fan more or decreasing the ambient temperature in the tent room would help get the temp down, however running the fan more can decrease your humidity. Try to get the room cooler might be the best option.

Hope this helps. I’ll be around all night. Jerry

Hello TxGrowman:

I have been researching around, here and there, also, I have learned quite lot from this forum and all info from Robert’s postings and grow bible, that I can only tell, with my short experience, the following info. I am happy to know that you have reached the perfect place with lots of answers and experienced-knowledgeable growers.
1- You can let it veg (more than 16h light) as long as you want, but the minimum time should be around 5-7 weeks, so the plant is strong and has adquired the primordial nuts. There are variations and people who like to flower very soon. I like to veg at least for 7 weeks.
2- Your water going in should be around 6.5 to 7. Ideally, and that should be the case when there is not salt built up or any deficiency, your run off pH should be around that range.
3- In the grow bible, Robert talks about the ideal temperature, and there are some post about how to measure it and where you should measure it in your grow room.

I hope this little info helps, as others can provide with more insights.

Happy growing:wink:

I figured out why my temperature was so high. . Brought it down to 74. Thx

I am very sorry Frescal; unbelievably I noticed today I did not contribute to your question but answered other answer. Well, I usually have the same problem every time. I have read that it is related with the diatance between the internodes, which is directly related with light and distance. I also had the impression that was temperature related, but if that was the case, the leaves should be curling up and should feel crispy to the touch. I moved the lights a little farter and in a matter of days, newer leaves were looking completely normal. This is was my seedling looked initially and afterwards. Next time I will pay more attention :sweat_smile:


Thank you. I adjusted the lights and they are looking better


Do they still look a little off?. I moved the light up again to 28"

I think they are perfect! Right on… Those waves will disappear soon. Mine had the same “problem” but they normalized afterwards. :smiley_cat:
