ongoing droop

I kinda doubt it's heat from the bulb unless the rooms already pretty hot. Those cfl's just don't produce that much heat. for a plant to look like that from heat i'd say it would need to be somewhere in the 90's F. And if it were overwatering/underwatering closing the door wouldn't do anything. I wonder about humidity with the door closed & no ventilation. As far as CO2 goes the plant doesn't have to use it all if the air isn't moving. just what's touching the leaves. Do you have a fan in there?

Oh & I'd look at your soil bag. That osmocote plus is time release fertilizer. See how long it's supposed to last. Plenty of people get good results with nothing but osmocote. don't want to over fert.

Yep there's a 120mm fan in the wall drawing air out and a 150mm desk fan blowing air around the cab. I know the soil was supposed to have ferts in it but they only lasted a month before the plants showed deficiencies and needed more so......

Well maybe a bigger fan for your outtake. Something like a small HVAC fan would work great.

I just got a 100mm inline fan I just gotta put it in.

That should work. And about N in flowering, you're right too much N can be a bad thing. It reduces the THC content & if you use too much it'll make your plant grow thicker stem wich is bad cause you want as much energy as possible going too flowering. Also too much N at harvest makes it taste bad. On the other hand if you don't use enough N your leaves will shrivel up & die. Less leaves means less growth. During flower I like to use small amounts of N for the first half of it or so. That fish fertilizer should be good for N but it doesn't have anything in the way of micro nutes so look for flowering nutes that has high P and micro nutes. Oh ang a good organic source for K iron and calcium is molasses. Get the unsulphered kind. Egg shells can also be used instead of lime for a ph buffer.

Oops disregard the stuff about plant food. I'm half asleep & that was meant for another thread lol
