Hello everyone,
After my 1st experience ( and 1st fail ) with DWC and HPS, I decided to switch to LED and added another bucket to the system.
My Setup:
60cm*60cm*180cm
BESTVA 1000W LED
Bucket Size: 18L
Water in Bucket: 15L
GreenLab ( Israeli Organic Premium nut )
Temp room: 21c-24c
Temp Water: 19c-21c
Humidity: 40%-45%
PH: 6.0-+ ( Balance every day to 6.0 )
PPM after nut + calmag : 520ppm-550ppm
Okay, so right now I have 2 Dark Purple Auto plants two and a half weeks old from the moment they sprouted.
But I noticed that the growth is slower compared to the previous growth under the HPS lamp.
I also noticed a certain distortion of leaves, as you can see in the pictures.
Anyone know what the problem is?
Is there any lack of water? Calcium? Magnesium?
It should be noted that I do not have a reverse osmosis system, I use desalinated tap water (300ppm).
In my previous plant I grew under an HPS lamp I reached with it levels of 1200ppm after fertilizers and additives.
I know I have a general water problem, my question is are the distortions and yellowing of the leaves a direct result of the water problem or is it more related to a lighting / moisture / excess fertilizer problem?
