curling leaves, drooping plant, yellowing leaves. first grow. help.

[rya700]

3 Just transplanted the bigger plant because it started drooping. I thought it was root bound but turned out it was fine. Everything points to overwatering but in coco it seams really hard to over water. The smaller plants older leaves are curling like crazy and turning Yellow then dying. What is happening?

What are you feeding? Humidity levels okay?....

 

[rya700]

Humidity levels are a bit high. Hitting 80% temperature in the low 80s. Doing fox farm nutrients 1/3rd strength. Coco coir and vermiculite. The roots looked super healthy. Really white really aerated.

I have been doing a little lst just bending the stem over a bit not too much. Started getting a ton of growth on the inside but the big leaves started Hella drooping.

Slack off the lst for a couple days see if it helps,,

What is your ph?

i second that. if you are assuming its over watering just let it be for a few days to see if it will even out.

What is your ph?

This is an important question


also pictures in regular light if at all possible may also help others to see and help diagnose the issue.

i hope all works out and they start thriving for you. keep us updated and happy growing

Without knowing what ph/ppm your feeding with I would say its probably overwatering. With temps and humidity in the 80's you may need to get better ventilation. You definitely don't need to spray down the plants. You have good size pots for little plants which is not a problem but its gonna take longer for your pots to dry out. You're also using vermiculite mixed with coco. Vermiculite holds a lot of water.

I can see wet spots/ pools on your leaves . Try to be carefull not to get too much water on the leaves since you might already have high humidity

What is your ph?

My ph is good last I checked it was around 6.3. I usually ph my water to 5.8 before watering. When I started using the coco is was around 6.8 - 7. I do need ventilation. I think it's time to purchase an in line fan. What size do you think is good for this room?

 

[rya700]

I'll update with a picture with no led.

What's in the bucket?

ph sounds good...is that LED you are using for a light source? If you keep that space open and it looks like you do. And, run the AC and smaller fan...neither heat nor ventilation is the problem here. My guess is nutrient deficiencies or excesses.

Lot's of help on RIU if you want to read a lot of threads which takes time that you may not have at this point. You may want to go here:

What's in the bucket?

Cool, just wanted to make sure,kinda looked like a paint bucket, you'd be surprised what some folks will keep in their grow area

It does get humid as hell.... I keep it open sometimes, but I would rather have it closed. I mean it is a closet grow haha. It's got to be a bit stealthier. But when it's closed heat isn't a problem even with the ac on low it will hit 80 max. But humidity in the closed room gets up to 88% I live in a very tropical area of Asia. ... it's crazy humid everyday. Would an out take fan lessen humidity? Or am I doomed to buy a dehumidifier?

HMMM that MAY be the whole problem...personally I never grow anything but cannabis in my garden. I don't care for the possibility of infecting my gurlz with illnesses or pests other plants may be prone to.

Some even piss on their plants, I still don't get it and hopefully never will

I could be wrong not being a meteorologist but humidity rises when it evaporates and it gets dark and cooler. Adding an inline fan may increase your rh. I would probably consider biting the bullet and getting a dehumidifier.

You need to measure the length x height x width of the room then divide by 3 will give the cfm of fan you need.
