Hey all got one girl that’s look sad for the last week or so looks underwatered I give it some water and it stands up a bit more but doesn’t return like the others two more have started to do it gave them all more water kinda stood up a bit happier since flower I’ve noticed humidity has been up around 80 need to get a dehumidifier asap I will get one but would that be why? Room temps don’t exceed 32 or stay at that for long it gets brought back down and I ph water roughly around 6.5 I’m not sure what it could be maybe it needs more water it’s only a auto to and I have it 15 inches away from a LED light I had to closer because it was to tall but I’ve since moved it the furthest it can go, any help is appreciated thank you
That could be the problem, never seen this before(flowering under a bright red light) seen a mix of red and blue light(but this is still not good) I use the most budget light available on the market, but I check some review first.
Roxanne !!! You can feed it at whatever pH, but it's what's inside that counts. Without doing a proper slurry test or collecting runoff solution, you just don't know what the pH is. The picture should be taken in white/natural light. You should get better lights than that. Horticulture Lighting Group, KingBrite, Mars, Viperspecter, GoDaddy... so many lights, so many choices.
I definitely will be getting higher end lights I just wanted a budget one to see how it is first before spending a lot
My cheap lights both have a veg and bloom switch I’ve put both back on again how it’s been the whole grow see what happens
I’ve turned my lights back to how they were see if this does anything before I do a slurry run off them
also I have had great success with a product called Recharge. It cant hurt your plants but only help them. Check it out. I use it when my ladies need something but I cant figure out what that is BUT I know my light is not the problem. My 2 centavos. Keep us posted.
Anybody would know to take clean pics under normal light . I mean hps lighting tricked a lot of people but red or pink come on .
Life ain't just black or white, red or blue either: all colors are needed to make a plant 'happy' Bugbee shows how good luck
Its the light mate, at least primarily. I fell into the same trap years ago thinking the cheaper red and blue "blurple" LEDS would give the plants more of the PAR wavelengths they wanted when LEDs started to overtake HPS in popularity (at least for hobby growers like myself) Fact is, as long as the spectrum graph is nominally in the correct PAR range, white light LED panels typically contain all the light wavelengths in the PAR spectrum, and the plants are pretty decent at gathering the photons they need from the proper spectrum (why most plants appear green, the chloroplasts and chlorophyll in them don't usually prefer the green wavelengths of light as much as other colors for ATP production so they turn green to help reflect away the excess). I'm guessing what you got is something like one of my old blurples in the middle (its set to red atm), they aren't worthless though, they make excellent supplemental lights if needed. More likely, you will probably need to move up to a QB (quantum board) or bar style white full spectrum LED lights like I have. Depending on your grow area size, you may need a light that pulls anywhere from 150-450 actual watts from the wall. I promise if all else is going well with your plant, you will see a big difference in light upgrades (maybe not so much on this grow, but it will help, and even more on future grows. Here is one of the first embarrassing plants I ever grew years ago, just under a single blurple light (shifted to red for flower, as I thought at the time that was what I was supposed to do.) It wasn't very pretty (did smoke ok though) The next set of plants I upgraded to a TS-1000 mars hydro light QB, nothing special (spider farmer, HLG, lots of people make similar boards with similar outputs and almost all use the same diodes and similar drivers) Anyway, I was able to get enough light for a second plant on my second grow, and with only changing the lights, there was a big difference. There is of course an upper limit on how much light you can put on plants without frying them (or adding a high CO2 atmosphere), which can vary a lot depending on overall plant health, size and age. There is probably more than you ever wanted to read about picking lights, tents etc in my current grow journal that may also be of help, or feel free to hit me up in my journals if you have additional questions, and best of luck mate, I was in the same boat not too many years ago!

dang good post misanthropevet. That blurple light took me back in time. I have an old Calif Light Works blurple and it still grows decent stuff. However, some of the super cheap blurples are/were just flashlights
