Hello everyone, this is my second attempt at growing. My first attempt was an autoflower DWC CFL grow that ended in root rot and an early harvest. I am now growing Nirvana Papaya in soil trying out the SCRoG method. This grow has been going very smoothly until recently they seem to be growing at a slower rate and are yellowing quite a bit, one of the plants is starting to droop as well. I know that most people would be flushing at this point, I have done research and am very skeptical of the flush before harvest, but now it appears that I will have to. The other problem is that The pH in the soil has started to drop a little bit down to 6.1-6.3 range. SO, my question is, do you think my plants look relatively healthy and I'm just crazy? Or should I do more than just flush them? If so what?
I believe the soil is Sunshine Professional #4
Nutrients are GH Lucas Formula ( I still had these left over from last time so I didnt want to buy more)
Using 3 gallon smart pots
I've been following a water every other day and feed every other water schedule
The scrog is 2x2
My bulb is a 400w CMH from HTG Supply
I have a 465 cfm exhaust fan throttled back to half power
And my tent is 2x2x5
My temps have been a consistent low 70s in the day and high 60s at night
Humidity has been around 40% throughout flower
So another thing is I got a HPS bulb from a friend, do you think this could help fatten them up a bit if I switched it over these last two weeks?
Sorry pics are phone pics.
