First Time Growing

[Pennywise]

Do you use an enzyme cleaner like hydroguard or Z7?

 

[PK]

no, Didnt even know i had to use that.
i'll grab one tomorrow, from the hydroplant that is close to me

 

[PK]

this is what the store by me carries Hygrozyme® – Pacific Northwest Garden Supply Ltd @Pennywise

 

[Pennywise]

Should work ok, it’ll clean your equipment and roots

 

[PK]

Hey @Pennywise Ideas?

 

[Pennywise]

What’s wrong with them?

 

[PK]

@Pennywise is it me or are the leaves of three plants all downwords

 

[Pennywise]

Just make sure you’re not overwatering

@Pennywise After reading more about lights i was more interested in the Mars ts1000.

What do you think would do me best. return this to amazon or keep it? The reason im thinking of changing is becasue i have a mars grow light that is 120w. Blue, red spectrum.

 

[PK]

i also like the once with the bloom and veg modes. But haven't found one that is like sun spectrum. Only blue and red style. What do you think I should go wiht.

 

[Pennywise]

Go with the white light from Mars would be my choice.

 

[PK]

@Pennywise the one link with mars, it says that its fanless. I haven't been able to find one with a cooling fan.

 

[Pennywise]

A lot of white leds don’t need a fan

 

[PK]

@Pennywise are the bigger leaves showing heat stress or is it deffeciency?
My mars should arrive anyday today but the current led intensity is at 85/90%
temp inside the tent is at 23c with 42% humidity.

 

[PK]

the plants in soil are just doing their thing.
i just can't figure out why the leaves are all downwords.
Temps and humidity has been stable.

although the temps are at 23c it is very chilly in there due to the AC. AC Temp is set at 25C

Are they staying downward at all times? Sometimes a droop can happen around light change (on/off)...well at least mine do everytime, then the leaves start to rise after lights come back on (takes a bit).

Edit- two of mine used to droop quite a bit, I actually needed to raise the temp for them to take off

 

[Pennywise]

Looks like a couple of different lockouts. You need a cheap ph pen.

 

[Rexer]

@Pennywise, is that what causes the holes in the leaves?

Sorry for jumping in Pk1

 

[Pennywise]

Looks like Calcium and Iron are locked out.

You were right. Ph was at 8.5
not even sure how? becasue when i mixed the batch i checked with two pens and my aqurauim master kit.
This kit can do ca, ir, po4, amonia, KH, GH. and more. (Live aquruim plants)

I brought the PH down to 5.9
