Dry plants

Thebanktella · Feb 27, 2018

Dnt know how to explain this have u guys ever had that when ur plants leaves feel "dry" not "juicy" lol hard to explain is it maybe becors my humidity in my closet is to low like my air is too dry ? Dnt have a humidity tester so I'm going on feeling ,,,
Running 4X85watt cfl and a extractor fan on the top and an inlet pipe with a fan circulating air in the closet , I've decided to foliar spray em daily just to try and counter that problem like just a light sprits with a weak seagrow mix to get in some nitrogen at the same time

now that I'm looking at em I think that might be the start of a nitrogen deficiency , gonna keep the seagrow foliar feed for a while

You can shut off your extraction fan for now to keep humidity up in there. They're small enough to where it'll be fine without one running.

I don't think it's nitrogen though. Looks more like one of the micro nutrients. My vote is either zinc or manganese but it's hard to say.

So what put the extractor off but keep the fan going ?

Might be potassium deficiency

Would seagrow fix that ?

yes. exhaust fans pretty much erase any humidity you'll have. I'd highly suggest getting a digital thermometer/humidity meter. They're less than $10 on amazon

have em here in South Africa I'll def look into getting one does it really make that of a difference ? Thort the extractor fan gets out the hot air ? Cors even tho they just cfl that kinda do get a bit hot /// or we'll warm , I can hold my hand above my plants for like over 3 mins without it getting unbearable , think I'm gonna leave the extractor on just so my leaves can dry from the foliage spray I just gave em dnt want em staying wet and hen cors other issues but will then turn it off for the night and see how they do in the morning

Without knowing what the temp is in there it's hard to say. They typically like warmer climates, but obviously too hot is an issue.

What is the soil mix your using? Looks like it has almost zero perlite. Also don't think it's nitrogen issue. Likely has something to do with your soil but won't know till get more info.

Did you sprout the seeds in this soil? When did the leaves start looking yellow like they are now? What do the roots look like, white and thick healthy or brownish and thin?

Um I started em in a smaller pot then transplanted em bout 2 weeks ago, they started yellowing like that after the 3rd node or so just after I did the crop , I then just watered em 50mls or so as to not over water em

50mls is very very little water. If i had to guess based on your info you underwatered which pushed the nutrients to bottom of pot since had zero runoff from not watering until 10% runoff. Now you locked out your micro nutrients with a overload of nutrients at bottom of pot. I'd water until runoff with a good ratio npk nutrients mixed at 400ppm or .8ec. two cycles and go from there.

I actually got some aact brewing I'll water bout 250mls of liquid tommorro, they in 5ltr pots

Ok so I got me one of those humidity and temp control things , where exactly is the correct placement for them , I'm assuming right by the girls cors that's where I really need to test temp and humidity

I put mine towards the base of my plants but I'm running a drain table with a scrog. As long as it's next right next to your light skewing the temp it should be fine. Doesn't matter if it's taking lighting or not

Cool I've put it right by my girls humidity is around 40% and temp is about 28-30degrees Celsius
