It’s normal for a plant to shed lower leaves as the plant matures into flowering. Doesn’t look like anything that one needs to worry about unless it creeps up toward the top of the plant, but support ticket info will help us identify any issues you may have.

• White Widow Autoflower from ILGM
• Method: FFOF soil w/ solo cup dug out of center and FFHF filled in
• Vessels: 5 gallon fabric pots
• PH of Water, Solution, runoff (if Applicable)
Water is tap from a garage spigot filtered with a cheap Camco inline RV filter (watering twice weekly; once with Cal Mag 2mL/gallon strength other time with nutes which so far have started with half strength RB plant booster and flower time fertilizer) about a half gallon per watering and I wait until they completely dry out again. Water is always pH’d to 6.5. Runoff recently ranged between 1000-2000 ppm with most being around 1300 I would say on average in the last week and there has been no major change in runoff ppms in each plant the last week and a half or so
• PPM/TDS or EC of nutrient solution if applicable
Plain filtered tap 200-250 ppm
Tap w/ cal mag 300-350 ppm (between about 2 and 2.5mL per gallon)
Tap w/ nutes 700-800 ppm
• Indoor or Outdoor
Indoor
• Light system
2xMars Hydro TSW2000
• Temps; Day, Night
Day 83-85 night 74-78
• Humidity; Day, Night
Had some issues like explained in the post for a couple days dropped to around 40 after cranking lights up to 100 percent but is corrected now About 50-55 lights on about 60-65 lights off
• Ventilation system; Yes, No, Size
Yes 4 clip on 6 inch fans
All on high setting when on
2 directed towards drivers mounted on lights and turn on with the lights
2 on the plants on 24/7
6 inch Inline exhaust fan w/ carbon filter
4 inch ac infinity intake w/smart controller
• AC, Humidifier, De-humidifier,
AC unit in room turns on when temp reaches above 85 and back off when temp drops below 83 in the tent via switchbot with a hub and IFTT using IR blaster to be able to automate unite on/off based on conditions
Levoit smart humidifier inside tent
Backup humidifier outside in front of intake AC infinity with smart controller to auto turn on when RH drops below 40 and back off when above 50
Midea smart dehumidifier currently sitting in room keeping room around 60 RH (even though it rarely has to work right now)
• Co2; Yes, No
No
Hope I covered everything lmao
Support ticket info all seems in line. The plant looks pretty healthy. I expect it is just the plant maturing and shedding older leaves. Nothing to worry about, really.
I didn’t see runoff pH. Do you know what it is?

I’m in agreement .
That’s just the plant maturing
Notice it’s the biggest or bigger fans doing it …
All good

Nice looking plant. You’ve gotten all the answers you need here. Keep it up

I stopped checking about a week ago after I noticed pH of runoff consistently being 6.3-6.7 throughout all 6 plants for 2 weeks checking runoff 4-6 times but will definitely continue tracking again next watering

That a good range. I would keep on top of it (pH.) Fertilizers will drop your pH over time and pH needs to be managed.
I don’t think there is a problem. You will probably continue to see some of the lower leaves yellow and fall off. Most of us just pick them off when they get to the point where is it clear that they won’t recover.

Also while I got you guys on here, how low is too low for my RH to be at this point and/or what are you guys recommended Temps/RH for each stage?
Will do and yeah my nutrient mixture conveniently lowered the pH of my water last few times I watered with nutes right to about 6.5 which was nice lol
Cool beans I did actually have that printed off probably from you posting it on another post in the past but I like to see you recommending the chart I have been trying to stick by for my specific situation. I feel like I am lucking out to this point with my first grow (knock on wood)
I’ve never really paid too much attention to RH unless it is way off. I keep my temps in the low-70s and shoot for 50 to 60RH for veg and then try to get it lowered to the 35 to 50% range when in flower. I don’t get too bent out of shape about RH unless it is pretty far off.

Definitely seems like I need to get my temps down then…those drivers on the 2 Mars Hydros are removable but where and/or how should I mount those bad boys? If I can get that temp down I don’t have to feed my humidifier so much to try to keep it from being real low according to the VPD chart…didn’t know if you had any suggestions just seems like mounting on tent itself would be dangerous but then again they don’t seem too hot to the touch I just rather wouldn’t burn the house down haha
I mount my drivers on the wall outside of the tent to keep heat down. I run 16 gauge wire into the tent to power the lights. I have the drivers mounted on a 1x6 and have a clip fan cooling them.
I inspect the wiring once a month to ensure that nothing has slipped out of place and ensure that nothing is a potential fire hazard.
