Have been growing now for little over 20 years... First time with a totally sealed system. Built a 8 x20 x 9 high room with 5k watts hps and t8 along sides (later for 10% Uvb) , 24k btu mini split, dehumidifier, scrubbing air,10 active and inactive emergency exhaust and high temp shut down. Bottled co2 and air 3 sniffer.

What have I missed???!!!

Threw in the healthy girls, lights at half power, I just transplanted so after they looked a little shocked I didn't stress. About a day and a half later looked like they had been severely over or under watered, really droopy... So back to the veg room to re coop. So I checked and calibrated co2 monitor. Temps 72 sleep 82 lights on... 45% humidity. Turned co2 down to 600 (900 before). Plants got back to normal after a day in veg room. Gave a few more days then introduced 3 stronger ones... After a couple of days thought was ok. Put the rest in and within 24 hrs same thing. All droopy again. What is wrong with my room or settings? Need more co2?, less , Exchange air every couple hrs? I'm stumped...

Gonna send this and try to figure out how to upload pics of the room. Any thoughts appreciated. I'm am pulling out my hair right now.

headed there now to see and will grab pics of the progress or decline...... *dont understand, *thought about replacing co2 (bad co2 of there is such a thing...)they should be able to handle 600ppm (about what is in veg room). *nutes are low, *temp and humidity fine IDK... *when i left there after checking on them I put exhaust fan on for 15 min every 2 hrs. *thought the idea of a sealed room was no air in or out and supply co2. *am i mistaken? *

Dude nice setup! And from what you have said you got all your stuff dailed in right. What your seeing is a hardening period
Where the plant gets used to its new area! Silmilar to puting plants out in the spring! To help combat this droop is to up
Your humidity to like 60% once they get settled in then start backing off. They will pull through it, just without good humidity
It will take longer.

Ok I set exhaust fan to kick on every 2hrs for 15 min and when I came back they all were standing up... My best guess is to little co2 or Mabe just o2... New to this sealed room thing. I guess tomorrow ill have to get some test tubes and see if my ppm3 is on point. I took it outside and calibrated after first incident . Worst case I guess ill get a flip box and waste a bit of co2

Right on guys. Was hesitant to sign up here, last thing like this I was a part of was overgrow. A lot of times I looked on here with a ? A lot of guys arguing and having pissing matches. So far has been cool.

Thx hellraiser. Have 4 of these pods 8 more on the way I'm in the new med state... Stopped building when I started with the issue. I guess I need to chill a little. As far as moving them again I had already decided they were either gonna sink or swim. With a little help of course...
