  2. What's the temp of your res solution?
     
  3. Leaves look like nute burn...how often are you adding them? Do you have a ppm meter?
     
  4. Temp of res is around 65-75 don't have a ppm meter jus been putting in 2 tablespoons of fox farms big bloom thought if I followed the directions on the bottle and I've went off advice from the internet and start wit 1/4 nutes so didn't think the ppm meter was needed really
     
  5. Bloom nutes for vegging a young plant might be your problem. Also the concentration.


    Young plants have small root and leaf systems, and cannot handle mass quantities= > 200ppm. At this stage I am at ~ 150ppm


    If you don't have a ppm/tds meter go tho their website for mixing info

     
  6. You shouldn't let your res get passed 69 or get below 65....you can get root rot.

    I don't think it's going to be big enough for two. Plus you don't have an intake for fresh air, unless your going to keep it open.
     
  9. negative root rot is caused by not getting oxygen to the root zone, usually associated with higher temps, but as long as the roots get oxygen you could do 80 degrees. If your res does get to 80 that's means you have a hot room which is another problem

    Sry here's the updated box and yea I have been leaving the door open but can't do that for long u kno sry for the old pic this is their current setup the light I moved a lil farther away cuz I thought it was burning the leaves so what do u guys think now?
     
  11. Well you can veg those for a while, but I really think your going to run in to some space problems.
