Sealed room plants off gassing ethylene and causing issues

Anyone had any experience on poisoning your veg plants with ethylene?

I have a big 20x30 sealed room that's sectioned off into 2 smaller rooms. A 20×20 and a 10x20. I use the large room for flower, small for veg. My problem happens everytime I harvest my crop. I dry in the smaller room and move my next round vegging plants Into the flowering room. My mistake happens because I didnt vent after harvest and my plants expelled all there ethylene and now its poisoning my vegetation plants.

I've added a vent fan to exhaust all the ethylene just wondering if anyone had more info on this topic.

In Europe and Asia, ethylene is obtained mainly from cracking naphtha, gasoil and condensates with the coproduction of propylene

add some perlite to those plants and what have u been feeding at ppm wise like 1000+? those plants will prob not do so hot anything past 450

The ignorance above is just astounding.

Ethylene is a natural plants hormone that's a gas. When you pick your plants they release all there ethylene.

Ignorant people look it up.

I grow a man's size crop and having all that in one space produces enough ethylene to poison my live plants.

I'm not here to argue. If you don't believe me just go get fucked. Don't reply here

Ethylene

Ethylene is formed within the plant but can also be produced by fungus and bacteria. Amounts of this hormone can be regulated tithing the planting medium by biological activities. And this can greatly influence plant growth. Intercellular spaces allow transportation of hormones but oxidation causes inactivation. Ethylene can be given off to atmosphere in the form of gas. Under normal conditions, ethylene production will hamper cell stretching and thicken the root and stem. Excessive amount of Ethylene can deform and could even kill your plants. In a situation where the roots are in too much water, Ethylene production will almost stop so with its ability to gas it off to the atmosphere. In cases like these, the leaves will turn cholorotic, stems will stretch and there will also a high possibility for the attack of diseases. The plants will eventually die.

I wonder whats going on with your plants nice their on the way out the door cool

I understand you perfectly!
Ethylene is given off by the plant in a gas form. This gas helps the plant ripen it's bud's. In fruiting plants, it's given off to ripen the fruit of the plant. Think Banana's and Tomato's. Set one on the counter and seal one in a bag. The one in the bag rots out first and fast! That's the off gassing of ethylene!

Use of Co2 needs to be stopped around 2 weeks or less, to go. Otherwise the Co2 inhibits ethylene production to the point of really slowing down any ripening of the plant...

Thing is, I don't think that's your problem....

Looks like your in Coco? Soil less at any rate?....
Your getting a mineral def..
Could be a pH lock out - What's your pH of all ingoing?

Is your feed supplying enough micro's?
Getting enough Ca/Mg? Gotta supplement that in Coco!

You have to be turning over the air in rooms too. Gotta get that Co2 held at available levels. I would be sure your air turn over is completed at least hourly. How are you cooling? Any AC that's not mini split will be turning over your air just fine. This would also be ridding your grow of any Ethylene gas that maybe building.

Even if it was, simply move the drying to another area.... I dry in my bloom rooms. It's the properly held environment for drying. Use drying tents...

Your plants also look like the lighting needs to be closer.
You should up pot more often too. Not much root space for the plant size you posted...
That also leads me to say that when soil growing. If you leave them in a smaller pot too long, you get that same look.
The trick to be able to use such small pots would be to increase feed and carefully balance Micro's with that.
They look like the medium is pretty used up...

If in soil less. Swap feeds to a Coco balanced nutrient line..... Or adjust your feeds to match.

I've been growing for 10 years now and 6+ in sealed rooms only having issues till I moved to my new place and started drying in basically the same room as my living plants.

It's gone on for 8 crops in a row. If your plants are big it doesn't affect um as much but if you have 1 gallon small pots like this round it's really affected them.

After every round I'd try and change something to fix the problem. I got rid of the co2 burner for tanks, i watch my nutrients, it's not light/ environment shock. I fixed any of those issues and everytime I harvest I get the same the results. Sick plants.

In my gut from experience it felt like the were poisoned. Within 72hrs of harvest my perfect looking veg plants showing ZERO deficiency look like the pictures above.

As a grower it feels helpless. I've tried, flushing, more nutes, less nutes, yoda yoda and nothing has worked.

damn you ETHYLENE
