Cross my fingers for a good comeback story haha.

Yeah, it may be the lighting, but they look limey. How're your humidity and PPFD?

Well, I'm going through 2 gallons of water a day in humidifier and only raised it from 44% to 55% now over 2 days.

Not sure PPFD.

They are definitely limey.

Twice now this shit with this medium.

Getting new medium once I get a day away from work/kids.

Hey, man! Check this out. I know it isn't the most accurate thing ever, but it has done me so much justice over the past few months, it's free and it's quick to get. Works on your phone screen.

55% RH is okay in my experience.

 

[420PyRoS]

I'll check it out when I'm off tomorrow.

What's the thinking, lights too intense maybe?

 

[Biosystem]

Just curious about the parameters. I've had plants look a little like that from light burn. Usually though if I have plants that look a little off like that, some phosphorus perks them up and gives them better color. I'm having some nute deficiency suspicions of my own right now, so don't think I'm sayin' I'm perfect haha.

OK I'll get that info shortly. I'm still suspecting the promix was made wrong as everything planted in that bag went to shit. Even my pepper plants.

@Biosystem

I went down a rabbit hole a bit with light stress after you mentioned PPFD.

I'm going to try a few things and see if this is the contributer to my issues.

There's a test I can do right away to give me an indication and I may have my answer technically already but I want to make sure.

 

[420PyRoS]

Well, did the test, and my feelings on it are yes, light stress. 2 indicators for me, one was I watched yellow leaves that should be dying from lack of nitrogen pray to the light after feeding. This was also during lights off period. I thought that was strange. Secondly, a small test mentioned from a search revealed that usually nitrogen starved leaves can be broken off and removed quite easily whereas light stressed leaves are strong and will not remove easily.

The yellow leaves are fully alive by some standards on my plants and could not be removed.

So I started thinking, when was the last time I used this light for Veg. Answer was, never have. I have been treating this light in the same manner as those blurples without much thought.

I used to use blurple bitches which weren't more then 100watts. Then I bought this SF2000 for flower in summer years ago so I didn't have to use my HPS/MH.

Stuff starting to add up now. I haven't grown since before pandemic which was what? 2020?

The only other thing new in this setup is the promix. Some general feed mix I have never seen/used before. The quality sucks quite frankly compared to promix BX and whatnot. Beside those two things, I can only think of humidity and PH.

PH was dead on with input/exit and Humidity is up a bit higher now from 43%

Biosystem, it's true what they say, sometimes you just need another set of eyes to see the things you're not.

I think you led me onto the right path.

I'll get some PPFD readings today when I wake up later (Night shift)

This is why we're all on the forums, mang. We're just here to help each other do better and celebrate the wins.

You could say I led you to the right path, or it could also be said that I L.E. D. you to the right path. *Badump tiss*
