New thread new problems new pictures!! droopy leafs and heat problem help please!

[bluez1]

hi everyone i made a thread the other day regarding problems but the help kinda dried out and ive taken better pics and gnna try explain better..

right i have a 10x 8 ish room, 2 lights, a 8 inch out take that im not sure how good it works, ( could i just have the ducting hanging in the room instead of the box? - might suck more).. i have a 4 inch intake coming from my loft down into the room. i have one fan with 15 plants.. im feeding them on just water, ( ph tested down to the color yellow (6) around 2-3 days ( started waterin less but seems like plants droop more)

my problems are

some of my leafs are full on droopin then others are curling realy bad at the top ( mainly new leafs )
the heat, my heat was around 90-95 with 2 lights.. i taken a light off and now its around 80-85 ( is 80-85 ok? i just dnt want them to be too cold, or go too cold at night, althought ther oinly off for 6 hours at the min.)

im using bat mix aswell if that helps anyone help me lol, i think its a all mix bio thing, the guy at the shop told they wud only need this soil and water for around 6 weeks? when shud i start feeding with proper food?
anyway im only a beginner so sorry if theres any miss info or ive said or doin stuff wrong, i just realy want to keep my plants as healthy as they can be,. realy dont want them to die.. cud any of these problems lead to death?

ive uploaded better pics, some pics of my room and pics of my problems.. ive just repotted them 2day, into bigger pots,. shud i water straight away or leave for abit? all help realy realy appreciated!!


agian thanks for the help

No wait a few days before watering, they aren't drinking much any way and the moisture in the new soil and drenched rootball is easily enough for now, if you drench the pots now you will stress them more thru lack of O2 you don't have much perlite in there. The original stress would have been the temps ,too hot. Get it below 80. They should recover.

check your water PH and don't over water - water just 1 to 2 times a week at most - let nature do it's thing

Plants are still recovering from heat stress.
And 85 is still too high.
Whats your RH ?

And like above poster said, if the rootball was soaking when you repotted you should be fine in holding off watering. Even if new soil was a little bit dry the original root ball water should leach, keeping the soil moist while new roots form.

Let it dry out.

I use a 50% perlite ( #3 ) 50% home made soil mixture in GeoPots..overwatering is almost impossible.

Let them dry and when you do water, just water the outer ring of the pot ( new soil area )

If your not using perlite you may want to reconsider repotting again.

One thing I learned if you don't start your crop right, it'll bite your ass in the end. ( longer grows, lower yields etc )
Not to mention aggravation, stress and the like.

And the heat is still way too high..mid to low 70s is what you need.

The ideal temp for ganja is 75F.

Pic7 is where I see a problem.
You need some sort of exhaust to suck out the hot air from your light(s)
You need to shoot for a temp of 75F..
You can run on 80-85F but it is not recommended for optimal growth.

and YES, you can harm and kill your plants with a variety of things!
heat, cold, over-feeding, under-feeding, all sorts of stuff....and believe me... you want to cry when it happens!!

I see in pic8 there is a filter and some exhaust... does it have very strong pull?
you may need more than that since your lights arent enclosed..

light enclosures are GREAT for heat exhaust! but... seeing as you dont have them, there are other ways.
this looks as if it is possibly in a bathroom?
you could connect duct to any existing bathroom fan to help that out.
ideally, you would use a booster fan for that though....bathroom fans aren't the best to run constantly...BUT they get the heat out!

In the mean time, I would raise that light up some more... as high as you safely can. That right there may fix it.
There's enough lummen for that! Lower it back down when you find a way to exhaust the heat some more
You can also tilt your fan upward a bit... this will give the plants some shake and circulate the hot air next to the light.

keep your watering down to at least every other day...if not longer.
roots need oxygen to grow.

nice setup man! i like it! wish I had that much space!! you're gonna be a very happy person in about 12 weeks

Ends of the leaves are realy curling under :/ lifted light ect. Cud it b to do wiv nutes? If so how do i fix it

 

[SeeRockCity]

do whatever you can to lower your temp... 85 is too high.
You need more cold air exchange.

you should look into nutes, as your plants are about the right size for feeding...
but take care of the heat first.... it's a BIG issue

High heat and over watering will cause your leaves to curl down....

If you can not regulate your temps in your grow room....rebuild it.

You have do something immediately about the heat or your going end up wasting a lot time.

Open a door or window or something !

Portable room ACs work good for small grows .

Your not going to get anywhere until you lose the heat. Changing nutes, watering schedule is not going do anything you can cool the plants down.

Probably still in the 80s with lights out ? I wouldn't worry about them getting cold.

Mine bounce between 60 and 80 and never miss a beat.

yup, that's what I've been trying to tell him....
nice room though, huh? spacious!!

 

[bluez1]

So wats my idel temp

 

[SeeRockCity]

75F is the ideal temp

I would also make a suggestion for you to consider.
If it were me, I would divide that room into two separate spaces.
Use one side for veg and the other for flowering.

this would let you run one light for 4-? weeks...
once ready for flower, switch the light to 12/12 and start a new veg under the un-used space.

that would give you a perpetual harvest and propagation AND give you time to get your temps in order...

have you laid off the watering a bit?

you should also look into and read up on:

-ways of creating air exchange (air conditioner, as mentioned above is a great idea...) <-If your temp stays up and you keep over watering....the leaves will droop more....
-Ph and Ph testers (soil and water) <--if this gets off, your plants can get sick and die
-nutrient schedules.. (your plants are at the age where they are going to be needing nutrients to get the growth you are wanting. Fox Farm is a decent brand that also provides a feeding schedule with their basic nutrient package)
-If you have a smart phone, you can get a free Lux meter app that will show you how awesome your lights are!
