Why are the leaves light green and not ideal?
Plants are now on Day 12 of 12/12.
They are growing at an extraordinary rate.
75/25 coco/perlite.
Temps are 74 during day and 62 at night
3x6 area covered by 2000w brand new Hortilux Super HPS
Feeding 6ml/gallon GH micro and 10ml/gallon bloom Ph at 5.8. Plants get watered daily to heavy runoff. If I don’t water for 36 hours the plants dry up completely.
It’s only on one plant. This plant is larger than the rest. This is also the only plant exhibiting symptoms of having too much nitrogen (very end of fan leaf tips clawing down but leaves super healthy)
Do the plants need more magnesium or phosphorus?
Or should I cut back on their food a little?
The plants have been growing towards the light and were 1ft away today as opposed to a week ago when it was around 20” away.
I moved the light up to 20” again today.
I don’t think it’s lockup in the coco because I water until at least 50% runoff, and the coco was buffered before use. I always feed full strength though. No reason not to if the medium is healthy.
The plant in question also has yellow tips on largest newer fan leaves. The yellow tips are very slight but do show an over fertilization.
So the question.
Lower nutes?
Raise nutes?
Adjust micro down a little and add small amount of Cali magic?
Keep lights higher? They are after all Hortilux and 12” from top of plants. I imagine it’s like giving someone steroids but not feeding them enough protein or nutrients.
