Hi All,
This is my second grow using the same set up. I had decent results with my first grow with Stealth Hydro 6-gal bucket and dual spectrum light kit (harvested to early
). For this grow I upgraded the kit and now I got:
- 2 air stones and pumps
- 3 Cfls= 1 85w Sunlite Daylight 6500K, 2 6500K 75W EQ. (I got a 85w Red Spectrum and (2) 2700K 100W EQ. which I plan to use for the flower stage).
- Light cycle is at a 18/6.
- Temperature: near the plants are 70-85 f during the light on and lowest it goes on the off cycle is 65. There is a big difference when I place the thermometer close to plants under the light and above the lights. Under the temp is usually 80-85 f.
- Humidity: Its winter time so I am having a problem keeping the humidity up. I am running a humidifier 24/7 but when I keep the meter near the plants its RH is 16-20%. When I hang the humidifier higher then the lights the RH is 30-40%. With the lights off it gets to a max of 57% (I close my closet door at 12pm and block all light for the dark 6hrs).
PH: 5.3-6.7
PPM: 1002-857 (I check it in accordance to the water level. If the plants drink more water and use less nutes I add plain water. If the PPMS and Water drop I top it off with 1/4 the serving of micro and grow.)
Nutes: Stealth Hyrdo's Nute Mirco and Grow
No CO2 supplementation as yet but I am planning on doing the active yeast and sugar method. Just learning how that works.
What I have tried:
- I moved my one 6' inline fan to a window so that it could pull cold air in from the outside and help keep the temp near the plant cooler.
The 3 plants are in veg for about 2.3 weeks now. I am not sure whats wrong. 1 of the plants seem healthy but the other two don't seem to being to well.
Pictures:
The one on the far left has bumps I have never seen bore. Kind of looks like water bubbles. Can someone help me figure this out? What is it? What needs to be done? I have tried looking at the deficiency stickies but none look like that.
The 2nd pic looks like there is a Mg deficiency on the lower leaves but the top doesn't seem to display it. Is it really Mg? Am I off in the diagnosis?
I really appreciate anyone who can help. From what I have read in this forum their are some very very experienced growers.
Any recommendations for the humidity?
Thank you!!! Hope to hear from someone.
