Hi Farmers,
I would appreciate an opinion on what appears to be stressed plants. I have attached photos of the plants, but the tips of the leaves have started to curl up and/or dry out and turn brown. Also, maybe 75% of the leaves have turned very yellow-green.:
Soil Growers:
1. Are you growing from seed or clones?
Clones
2. How old are your plants?
From the time that I purchased the clones (at 4" tall) it has been 44 days
3. How tall are your plants?
They are currently 24" tall
4. What size containers are they planted in?
5 gallon pots
5. What is your soil mix?
Only foxfarm happy frog
6. How often do you water and what type of water do you use?
In one plant I have been using RO water and only add ph down to get to 5.8-6.0. In the other plant I have been using a nutrient mixture of 4 tablespoons big bloom, 5 ml of cal mag, and ph down to get to 5.6-6.0. (all values are per 1 gallon)
I have been watering about every 5 days with 5 pints each plant each time.
The plants appear to be in the same condition regardless of the watering difference.
7. What is the pH of your water?
5.8-6.0 for both water mixtures.
8. What kind of fertilizer do you use and what is its NPK ratio?
I have been using foxfarm big bloom for one of my plants.
9. Do you foliar feed or spray your plants with anything?
No
10. What kind of lights do you use and how many watts combined? (HPS, MH, fluorescent, halogen, incandescent "plant lights")
I use one 150watt HPS
11. How close are your lights to the plants?
They are about 18 inches from the light.
12. What size is your grow space in square feet?
8sf
13. What is the temperature and humidity in your grow space?
The humidity is 30% and the temperature swings from 72 w/o light to 90 w/ light
14. What is the pH of the soil?
My digital soil meter reads a 7.0, but I don't have much confidence in that device.
15. Have you noticed any insect activity in your grow space?
No
16. How much experience do you have growing?
About 6 months.
Thanks in advance for any help, JH
