Just saw some strange symptoms on my loved ones.
The first thing I noticed was leaf curling upwards, but without any necrosis or chlorosis on the curled leaves. Instead I saw brown spots on some leaves, mostly older leaves. The older leaves are also very slightly deformed. Could it be a heat-problem? I have a proper fan and I don't burn my hand when touching the canopy. Lamps are 20-30 cm from the tops and I am also using light-spreaders to mininmize heatspots.
I took some pictures for easier diagnosis.
I transplanted plants from ~0,5 liter pots to 10 liter pots. I used high-quality planting soil (mineral fertilized) and added a bit perlite. I switched from 200W MH to 2 x 400 HPS. 5 Plants under each 400 W. They look quite healthy, but these symptoms are worrying me a bit.
I transplanted them about a week ago and have given them nothing but tap-water so far. The pots are quite big and the soil is rich in nutrients so I decided to wait a bit before giving some fertilizer.
My tap-water is around pH 7 and the soil is buffered with lime. What do you think has happened here? Too much heat or something else? Will test run-off water later today when its time for watering.
The only thing I can think of is that I watered first with tapwater that had been sitting in a clean container for a day or two, and since it wasn't enough I then took fresh water from the tap and also used that. Could that have any serious effects? I kind of doubt it.
What do you guys say?
Peace
Sorry about the shitty quality, I have a shitty camera.
