veg

handwatering every day, supercropping, lst
What color are your roots? White? Brown? Are your roots slimy?
whiteish on the surface
What Nutrient's are you using?
fox farm grow big 6-4-4 1/2 tsp, calmag+ 1/2 tsp, cannazyme a few drops, mollases 1Tbl and h2o2 1-2Tbl every week or so
How often are you feeding?
2 on, 1 off
What is the TDS/EC/PPM you are using?
don't know
What is the pH of the "Tank"?
no "tank", mixing in 1gallon plastic jug to around 5.8-6
Are you sure your calibration is correct on your equiptment?
pH drops until gold color
When was your last watering?
yesterday
What is your water temps?
low 60s, room temp
How often do you clean your system: example: Flush out water replace with clean water and nutrients?
plain water every 3rd, use 1Tbl hydrogen peroxide to keep the nasties out
What size bulb are you using?
2x250watt hps vertically hung
What is the distance to the canopy?
just moved them back a bit, now 8-10"
What is your RH Factor(Relative Humidity)?
30%, a dry winter
What is the canopy temperature?
75f
What is the Day/Night Temp? (Include flucutaion range)
ambient 67 day, 61 night
What is the current Air Flow? (cfm etc.)
100cfm on lights, oscillating fan on canopy, 260?cfm stanley blower/scrubber 24/7
Is the fan blowing directly at plants?
sorta, just moved trays back so fan underneath lights doesn't blow the leafs as much, oscillating fan for the rest, good air flow
What water are you using? Reverse Osmosis (RO)?
RO
Has plant been recently pruned, cloned off of or pinched
yes, i've pinched and pruned
Have any pest chemicals been used?
neem oil, spinosad, zero tolerance w/natural soap sprayed and mosquito dunks (BT) watered. used a no pest strip that seemed to help when fans are off and it's placed close to the infected area
Are plant's infected with pest's
yes mites i believe, maybe thirps

this has all slowed my growth a lot. i want to flip the lights to 12/12 but before i do that i want to get them on the right track to maximize my yield.
i've been a lazy stoner and let my plants develop some issues. i haven't been super consistent with my care so some problems might be a result from the past not present.
i also removed some sick leafs 2 weeks ago so i could identify the current problems.
i should note that spider mites have been a real pest for me. i'm spraying twice a week, trying different concoctions and it helps but they keep coming back.
i've always overfed and am trying to be very careful not to burn them. this time i think i may be underfeeding them. humidity and temps are far too low in the room, next few weeks should be better, less furnace activity and i'm hooking up a decent humidifier that i was using in my clone spot. got to rid these bugs too.
the GH recipe head and rez use looks easy and i may switch if i can't dial them in. trying to use what i paid for.
