Hi everyone. I have a low pressure aeroponic set up. There is no standing water. My cycle is on for 1 min. off for 4 min.
Things have been going quite well. We are in week 3 and the growth appears to be pretty good, but we have just run into a slight problem.
We have two different varieties. Both are growing well, but in the last 48 hours, one has started to show some strange signs of problems with the leaves.
The problem varieties' leaves are more yellow and starting to show brow splotches.
Here are photos of the troubled variety:
Sorry for the quality of the pictures. The light does something weird to the camera. I shot some with the lights out, so that you could compare and maybe tell what's up.
The following pictures are from the other side (part of the same system), which are exhibiting no problems.
Now the only thing i can think of is that we had the lights on for 48 hours and in that time the plants grew within 12 inches of the light face. The only problem is that this is the case with both varieties. Also the lights are vented.
Right now the ph is just under 6.5%. The ppm is 1100 to 1200 ppm of flora grow General Hydroponics nutes.
Temp is nominal 78f to 82 f. We are running co2 enriched atmosphere.
One other thing is that there is slight algae in some of the clear tubes. Not much. Wondering how much peroxide to add, to deal with that.
