ok i have been having this problem for awhile now and have no idea what it could be. first off all my veg plants look extremely healthy and do outstanding, growing with fox farm ocean forest soil and use small amounts of grow big and big bloom. they are under t5's for about a week then i put them under a 400mh for a week maybe two at most, until they are roughly 10 to 12 inches.
Now the real problem. im using a 4x8 tray with two 1000 watt hps lights under 6"xxxl hoods for a maximum foot print. im doing a sea of green so i add 6 plants every week and im using a top drip system.
now for the past 3 maybe 4 weeks now i have been giving my plants just ph'd water for the simple fact that i can't figure out my problem. i thought i was overfertilizing them because after 2 weeks every single time im having the same outcome. all white hairs on many if not all plants except maybe 2 or 3 per week have all singed white pistils or no pistils at all. r.o. water is consistantly between 6.4 and 6.8, the soil is even ph'd correct and the runoff is never a problem either.
the highest the temps get is 83, 86 last night for the first time ( turned the a/c off because the outside air has been beautiful( live in socal). this is a huge problem that i cant seem to fix. the lights were about 16 17 inches away so i moved the lights up even farther away to see if that helped but even the buds and pistils at the bottom of these plants are doing the same. basically all new growth looks like it. no bug problems that i am aware of i have even taken a few out and broke them down to inspect the roots and everything. roots look great. any help would be greatly helpful.. maybe light stress..im a very sad grower right now.
