Oh yeah...welcome to growing weed indoors...There's so many hassles in this game.
At 10 after 8:00PM I notice the light isn't on. It's supposed to come on at 8. I go down there and can't get the light to turn on. So I spend almost an hour swapping the malfunctioning light for a good light. Once finished swapping I test the malfunctioning light and it turns right on so I swap the lights all back. Furious!
I can't trust any of this equipment - ever.
Do you experience these pitfalls?
Support indicated the dimmer is connected to an RJ port and that could be loose. This makes sense because the day before I changed intensity. Will check dongle later.I emailed the manufacturer explaining what happened. Wait and see.
The light was still on this morning. The plants are in dark period. I hope for the best.
I wouldn't worry about the lights on/off temp thing. Some people actually run a negative differential (warmer at night than during the day) to reduce stretch during early flower. So I don't think it would hurt to have a constant temp all the time.The only thing I'm not doing 100% is a lights on/off temp swing. Temps in the tent remain consistent.
Everything else seems within parameters.

Do you let them get really dry before watering? If that one took up a gallon of water in a 5-gallon pot, it must have been pretty dry...maybe try watering more frequently, but not quite as much at a time. With plants that big, in organic soil, you never want them to go totally dry, and some folks actually recommend watering a small amount every day to keep the moisture level as constant as possible.
I've repotted mine that far into flower. Other than being a bit of a juggling act the plants didn't seem to notice.Yesterday ended week five from 4/15.
The five large plants clearly show leaves dying from tips in while the smallest plant looks excellent.
A possibility is the larger plants were under watered and are now becoming root bound while the smallest is/was right watered/root sized. They're too far along to pluck from the pot and look at roots but no roots are growing out the bottoms of the pots.
They've all had at least one dosage of Dr. Earth, Flower Girl.
As you know once the damage is done, it's done.
Will deploy netting over the next day or two. Plants are getting wobbly.
I'm also thinking about lowering the light to increase LUX to 70K. LUX is around 64K at plant tops now. On the other hand maybe I shouldn't tamper with it.
I don't know I'm only speculating.I've repotted mine that far into flower. Other than being a bit of a juggling act the plants didn't seem to notice.
Currently the best trained and vigorous plant on my flower table is the one the fan fell on. They are hard to kill, god knows I've tried every which way and they keep surviving.I don't know I'm only speculating.
Maybe I'll pick-up the next up-gallon pot and attempt to transplant one. Then I'll know more.
