I have 4 Chemdawg 4 plants that I have been vegging under a t5 florescent. 4 days ago I put them into my flower box which is powered with a 1000watt hps. I have the light on 24/0 and have noticed droopy leaves and weak stems on one of my babies. The temps range from 65-78 but the RH is always somewhere in the 20s... Is that too low??
Here are a few pics.
Please help me. My plants were growing just fine under the T5 with temps ranging 65-80 but the RH was ranging 35-55%...
This is my first time growing indoors with lights.
The plants are not over or under watered.

Its not a PH issue or an over water issue...
last time i watered that plant the PH was 6.7-6.8 I do not over water my plants.... Any other ideas??? That plant was growing fine under my T5

Your temps rang from 65-78 with the lights on 24 hours a day? Doesn't sound right. Try keeping 78 degree for the full 24 hours. Bet they would perk up.

P1010673.jpg67.3f That temp was taken at night. Its been getting into the high 30s at night and my box is in my garage with zero insulation and lots of draft from outside. I dont really want to put a heater in there.

IMO- They look over watered. The leaves look to green Possible (N) toxicity, this would explain the week growth.
Or there might be a problem with the root system, pot bound or root rot. Your soil could be to dense also, this will restrict air to the roots.

Good Luck on Your Grow.

I'm guessing cold roots. I see pots on the cement which is most likely cold. Mine r as well on cement. Get that place fucking heated up friend. Cold roots cause p lock out and could lead into a whole other case of shit storming. 1000 watt light on 24 hours a day, u need to find a way to be close to 80 degree all the time.

Purple stems too friend. Another reason why I'm thinking cold roots. You've been vegging a while it looks like. The purple stem thing should be close to over by now.

OMG thanks.... Cold cement, how stupid of me. I will make a little table and get them off that cold ground.
Thanks for the input. I'm gonna raise them up right now. Hopefully this will help. I have the 1000 watt hooked up to a air cooled hood. I will take the glass out and turn the fan off if raising them off the ground doesnt help.
Could i rest the pots on pieces of styrofoam as my table???

I have not fed my plants anything since they have been in FFOF and been transplanted into more FFO
I dont think it is root bound or pot bound since I just transplanted
Thanks for the help!!!!!!!

Yes, anything to get off the cement floor. 3/4 ply wood also. Anything would work really.
