Well... instead of insulting me...why dont you splain why my plants are are all perky at lights on and then droop steadily through the light cycle when in small pots?

I took soil temps throuh the light cycle and found there was an apparent correlation between droop and rising spoil temp. That might be coincidence so tell me what am i missing.

And tell me that 77 to 78f is a good root temp. Please.

The best solution is for you to leave the growing to someone else, preferably qualified, but anyone should be able to produce better results.

I bet you have no friends at all.

Direct your self loathing and hate for the world elsewhere please.

How are you removing heat from COB's? If you allow heat from cobs to remain too hot. you need active heat removal from your heat sinks. Many stories of hermies, problems, with excessive heat using cobs. 25w is the highest you should run your cobs in veg. All the plant needs in 25w/sf during veg and 35-50w/sf in bloom. It sounds to me like you are way overdoing it. Plants should pray all day long until lights out.

Dimmed to 60% and 30" (double recommended flowering heighf) above the plants? Too much?

You wanted help and I just gave the solution with the highest chance for success.

The rest of the suggestions in the thread are just to get your plants to suffer less misery.

No hate for the world, just for those abusing plants and animals.

You know, you bring up "Pray". I have to ask you this. You say all day, but Ive came to the conclusion of sorts that when they pray, they have takin in as much photons they can for the day.

I know 1 thing for sure, mine pray at the same time every day. Then, i add an hour to sleep, to see if they pray at the tenth hour, and sure enough, on the 10th hour, they prayed.

Ive been watching this for a few days now.

So, you say they should be praying ALL day, makes me think what changes happens at the tenth hour that makes them pray for ME, personally. But nothing really changes at those times.

Or its thirsty,lol.. Because I water 1 hour after lights on, and last hour before lights off. in Coco, but they dont pray in the morning.

Ive read that plants can only take in so many photons a day, and usually 6 hours of direct light. So that is what got me thinking that maybe its a "Ive had enough" sign to reduce lights and let her rest.
