After reviewing many other posts here about wilting... I'm thinking this is normal. But would like to hear some opinions from experienced growers here.
I have been growing successfully with other strains for the past couple of years with great results !....... Until.... Purple Kush. These things seem to be the most sensitive strain I've come across. Especially root health and nutrient mixes. Anyways. Here are the specs.
Purple Kush.(clones). Vegged 3 weeks till 20" tall. Transplanted to Flowering area a week ago. So in 1st week flower.
Hydro...DWC and Eb & flow cross. ( 4x8ft trays) Plants supported in net pots with lid. NO medium in trays. Flood and drain trays every 15 minutes.
144 plans total. 4 4x8ft trays
800PPM. Ph 5.8 to 6.1 Nutrient temp 67F. GH 3 part mix. 6ml grow, 10ml bloom, 8ml micro. Per gallon
Using 8 airstones in 60gal tank and Hydrogen Peroxide 4ml /gal.
Room temp 78 to 80 F . Not using Co2 yet. ( start in week 2)
Multiple air circulation fans
8 1000W HPS Light pipe cooled. ( on light bar rack )
Plants growing 1 to 1.5 inches /day.
Thermal image(temp) of plant tops not exceed 84F.
Night temp drop less than 8F.
Humidity 50 to 55 constant.
Missed anything ??
Whats happening.... Light off at 8AM. Plants very healthy even leaves are pointing at lights. By 9AM minor wilting showing on tops. by 10AM wilting heavier and covers top quarter of the plant. But by 2PM or so they are all back to normal. Lights on 8PM And their perfect ! Growing well and very healthy the entire day cycle. Then Lights off and the wilting begins again... See pics.
Hope I didn't boar anyone reading this. Just wanted to give full details.
Hope someone can help put my mind at ease.. Regards.
