I think it necessary to explain how I feed my plants. 5 WHITE WIDOW AUTO by
Greenhouse Seed Co. and 4 BLUE DREAM AUTO by Humboldt Seed Org. My tent is 1.20m x 1.20m x 2,00m. I use Hesi liquid fertilizers. In my 11 ltr. vases I have used Plagron Bat soil, added a little manure from a purchased bag from a garden center. I water daily + Hesi fertilizers using a total of 5 litres of water/Hesi. The 5 ltrs are used as ltr.2.5 in the evening (19,00 hours) represents the beginning of the 18 hr. light phase. The night phase begins (13,00) and ends at (19,00) hrs. The daily 5 litres is divided between the 9 plants. At germination I did not use any fertilizers and watered the seedlings with a 60 ml. syringe. Strangely enough, One of the Humboldt seedlings started growth with yellow leaflets, whilst the other three grew normally. The yellow leaf Humboldt continued its growth with many yellow leaves mixed with the normal coloured leaves. The fertilizer I used at 1 3rd strength for a couple of weeks slowly increasing until I am using full full strength as indicated on the Hesi bottles. Occasionaly I use just water. The water I use I extremely hard, the area I live in has extremely hard water. I lower the alkalinity with PH down until the mixture has a PH of 6,2.
In the tent I have installed 3 oscillating 20 cm fans. Externally an inverted aspirator feeding air into the Tent. I have 2 Co2 bags hanging near the canopy. I use a 380 Led lighting in 8 modules. Ample temperature and humidy control in 4 areas of the tent. When necessary, I use a dehumidifier or a humidifier, which ever is needed. The tent is heated by a 1,20 mt heating tube connected to a thermostat. I have found some Fungus Gnats on the surface of the soil in the pots. A few days ago I introduced 500 Orius predetors to get rid of them. Is my problem a lack of Potassium or Manganese. Or have I over fertilized them? Can a member help me with this problem? Please see photographs. It seems that I am able to upload 1 photograph.
Thanks to all members who can help. PS. Feeding is done with a 5 ltr. air pumped, container with long brass tube for feeding. The tube is passed at soil level from one plant to another and not passed above the canopy! So it cannot possibly be nutrient spillage. I use green light for looking into the tent with lights out, only if necessary. I should add that I cannot enter my tent as I am not stable on my legs. I have a lady that keeps me informed, or, removes a plant from the tent for inspection. Should I enter the tent, no room with 9 plants, I might topple the tent and all on top of me.
