Anyone had any experience on poisoning your veg plants with ethylene?
I have a big 20x30 sealed room that's sectioned off into 2 smaller rooms. A 20×20 and a 10x20. I use the large room for flower, small for veg. My problem happens everytime I harvest my crop. I dry in the smaller room and move my next round vegging plants Into the flowering room. My mistake happens because I didnt vent after harvest and my plants expelled all there ethylene and now its poisoning my vegetation plants.
I've added a vent fan to exhaust all the ethylene just wondering if anyone had more info on this topic.
I understand you perfectly!
Ethylene is given off by the plant in a gas form. This gas helps the plant
ripen it's bud's. In fruiting plants, it's given off to ripen the fruit of the plant. Think Banana's and Tomato's. Set one on the counter and seal one in a bag. The one in the bag rots out first and
fast! That's the off gassing of ethylene!
Use of Co2 needs to be stopped around 2 weeks or less, to go. Otherwise the Co2 inhibits ethylene production to the point of really slowing down any ripening of the plant...
Thing is, I don't think that's your problem....
Looks like your in Coco? Soil less at any rate?....
Your getting a mineral def..
Could be a pH lock out - What's your pH of all ingoing?
Is your feed supplying enough micro's?
Getting enough Ca/Mg? Gotta supplement that in Coco!
You have to be turning over the air in rooms too. Gotta get that Co2 held at available levels. I would be sure your air turn over is completed at least hourly. How are you cooling? Any AC that's not mini split will be turning over your air just fine. This would also be ridding your grow of any Ethylene gas that maybe building.
Even if it was, simply move the drying to another area.... I dry in my bloom rooms. It's the properly held environment for drying. Use drying tents...
Your plants also look like the lighting needs to be closer.
You should up pot more often too. Not much root space for the plant size you posted...
That also leads me to say that when soil growing. If you leave them in a smaller pot too long, you get that same look.
The trick to be able to use such small pots would be to increase feed and carefully balance Micro's with that.
They look like the medium is pretty used up...
If in soil less. Swap feeds to a Coco balanced nutrient line..... Or adjust your feeds to match.
