With the kids being off I have very little time to update during the day but I can still nip in to take the pics so I will be going a daily update from now on. And I will only be on late evening up time.
I have been reading up a bit and I have decided not to top up every other day and go to every 3 days, as this can promote root growth.
Ph 6.0 added ph down .025 now 5.8
Temp gone mad 82f
Res temp 78f
Humidity 55-60% could be better but it will have to do for now if it gets worse I will add another water sail.
Going to fit new fan today see if it helps.
Pics (pics 67, 6
Couple bits of damage to the leaves first this (pic 69)
a few leaves are showing this but this is the worst, this I believe could be nute burn or from the spray I was using.
And this (pic 70)
I think this is Phosphorus (P) deficiency or over watering (one of the air stones were lose in the tank so that plant might not have been aerated properly. so I will see if it get worse by tomorrow and then think about what to do.
11pm update
I have fitted the new fan into a box the back of the room, knocked a bigger hole in the wall this leads to a small space under the stairs which have a external vent, I need some more sealant to seal the box so its not sucking air from the room, also I converted a 6 clip fan to a extraction fan its working a lot better than the pc fan I had running.
All temps have dropped but that is because its cooling down a bit outside but its still toasty.
My room is running between 4-6f higher than the temp outside. I am just hoping the weather turn for the worse.
This is the grow room now the box, needed painting white after the box has been sealed (pic71)
This is the quick extractor fan I used polystyrene boards, its easy to cut and can be put in placed with double sided stinky tape but I only had a few scraps knocking about so it trough but it is working. (Pic 74)
Plants pic (pic72)
As you can see the temp under the lights is higher than the room its about 90f I need a fan on the light unit I think.
Heres the root system (pic 73)
I am a bit concerned about the front left plants root on the right at the top of the main roots it looks a bit brown I cannot tell if its some scum from the water or if its something worse I will have to look in to this.
I am quite happy with how its going at the moment I have noticed that the plants in hydro have closer nodes and the main stem is a lot thicker. These are going to be a lot bushier than the last batch.
