this is my second grow. its going much better than the first. i'm in week three flowering stage. i've developed what seems to be heat stress. the bottom and middle leaves show symptoms. the leaves are drying around the edges. eventually the whole leaf dries and curls up. some of the leaves don't dry instead the become somewhat limp and the stem breaks off easily. the color of the leaves stays dark green and only the bottom half of the plants are affected. i read that the ph in soil should be 6.8. i'm growing four plants in fox farm/black gold and the ph reads 6.8. i'm growing 9 plants in roots coco coir soiless medium the ph also reads 6.8. shouldn't the ph be lower? if so how exactly do i lower it? another question concerning heat stress. i'm using 1000w hps. how far off the canopy, in inches, should the light be. in the same room next to my 9 plants under hps i have four plants under 8ea. 54w ho fluro tubes. (i'm running several expiriments, to old to take it slow). room temp goes from 77 degrees to 87 degrees depending on day or night. other than what i explained the plants look healthy. all about 36 inches tall. gaining trics! love them trics. didn't that silly rabbit say "trics are for kids!"
