Light green leaves

So it looks like all the new growth is a light green the bottom half is still pretty normal it’s just the top half the only things I can think of cal mag or nitrogen deficiency I gave them a feed last night water ph is 6.35 temps are 70-76 my light is a SF 7000e and it’s at about 75% and approx 24in away they verged on a wayyy weaker light for about 1 1/2 months I think a Mara hydro ts100 maybe that too idk

Nitrogen Mag is mobile and will start at the bottom, though u need to check pH always and foremost as this may be the root of the problem
otherwise feed higher or use urea as foliar that will green them up darker quickly

How fast are your plants growing atm? What most of that looks like to me is they are growing fast and the newer growth takes some time to 'green up' from exposure to the light. Check the height a couple days apart of the same top and I'd wager it's an inch a day.

If they're running low on food you're going to see yellowing in the older fan leaves first as mobile nutes get relocated to the growing tops.

Slim possibility there's some light bleaching happening but you'd usually see leaf margins curling up some before the bleaching.

:peace:

I would say they are growing at a decent rate, but makes sense because the lower canopy is still pretty green darker

I also did think about raising the light even more to see if that would help as it is set to 80%

Just curious, you said you vegged them under a weaker light-how long have they been under this new light? Also, you are getting some solid advice about temperatures. I think you have some other issues going on besides just low temps, but raising temps to at least 80 will help your plants immensely.

Boron deficient. 1 tsp fish emulsion in a quart of tap water. Add 1/4 tsp un flavored epsoms salt just to round out the supplement. Use as a foliar spray for 2 days.

Also some white specks on leaves mid plant. Look into that.

Best wishes.

If it's under led light, you want 80 - 82°f.
If that is true then it's another reason for me to stick with my HID lights or my heater would be running all the time to keep the temp up. With the 600w SHPS I'm using now it's staying between 73 - 77. My heater kicks in at 72 after lights out. Temp in the basement where the grow room is is just over 50 these days as we stumble toward spring.

yeah dat true and then these LED put out twice even thrice (vs MH or low W HPS...) amount of photons but then they wont grow more accordingly. only very little more. maybe just 10% :p and run full heels over heads into "calmag" deficiency :lol:
because of chilling plants, frozen metabolism, frozen in time :cool:
