Seriously though....

WTF?

My 3rd run with cobs and this super droopy business for the 3rd time...

I cant figure it out. Specs are spot on and rok solid.... 77 to 79f... 60%rh lights on...70% lights off.

They had bit of trouble starting out with p deficiency from overwatering but recovered nicely... over watering is no longer a problem as the roots are established.

So i figured maybe the roots zone was too hot.... but the one girl on the far left wants to party still....

I dunno...

Try fabric pots next time. Solid side pots can be tricky. Especially the smaller ones. Things like smart pots are a fix for that headache. If you continue to use the solid pots. Drill lots of holes in the bottom. They don't need to be huge holes. Cordless drill and a step drill bit. Drill the holes up to 1/4".

LEDs is even more dramatic because of reduced perspiration rates.
Ahhhh...

But the biggest of them on the far left is fine? When the rest not...


has been all along.... she is a party girl, but looks like she is going to be mom...

Looks like that one got a fan right on her, which would increase perspiration rates.

Also get some saucers under your plants, water on wood = rot = mold = bad
I dont leave them like that all the time... just took em away once they stopped draining to see if the black was soaking up so much heat and heating up the root zone. Saucers sbould be white...

I got some clear saucers they kinda cheaply made but work ok, i usually use green or black ones.

What's the soil blend? I think I've asked before. Is it aerated enough? I do this with solid pots:

When i go to 3.5 gal pots i use the hydroton on the bottom....with promix mychrohazea. Right now theyre in 1 gal without hydroton. Except one. I tried it in one and its still a pooper... lol

You wash the clay dust off before you put the hydroton in the buckets or na?

I always do with ro water but always wondered if i should bother...
