Room is exhausted by 90cfm bathroom extractor fan. The intake is a 215cfm in-line booster fan. I have negative pressure for some reason that I don't understand though. The walls are pulled taut. Is the fan blowing directly at plants?
Yes, 2 small box fans and 1 stand fan. They're pretty well ventilated Is your water HARD or SOFT?
I use RO water. Has plant been recently pruned, cloned off of or pinched
Negative Have any pest chemicals been used? If so, What and When?
Sprayed some garlic oil on em way back when they were clones. Didn't really seem to do anything to them or the thrips. Are plant's infected with pest's
Minor thrip problem, no real noticeable amount tho. 1 or 2 thrip larva on each plant every night I check. I kill everything I see and I check vigilantly.
On both cases, high ph often is the cause. Correct ph to solve the problem.
For fastest recovery, you can give a foliar aplication with a micro's solution, or an "greenery supplement" that usually are mostly Fe. Seaweed extracts often works well too.
