New Grower Bikini's Royal Queen Northern Lights grow

[Bikini Fettuccine]

Hey I have one more question, I have a durrty dragon with a problem. I am not sure exactly what is wrong with it, I tried foliar feeding with some epsom salt in water but it doesn't seem to be improving, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

might be a zinc deficiency - check your pH - epsom salts is for magnesium deficiency.

Thanks for the quick reply Hipster, I was thinking maybe it was a sulfur deficiency from looking at the advanced diagnosis link in this forum that is why i tried the epsom salt, but you probably know better then me. What would you recommend I do, I do have some fertilizers with quite a bit of potassium in there I can add if that is what you think is the best.

Oh and my pH in there was about 6.6, I would like it to be a little lower, but I don't think that it would be locking out zinc at that level?

Humidity is the least of your worries in terms of a grow. If your using heat or AC and your grow is not in a environmentally sealed room then its hard. AC scrubs moisture from the air, heat does about the same. You can get a humidifier but its not really something to worry about.

Lower the PH some. PH is in ranges. On the lower end it absorbs some stuff regularly on the upper end same thing. Thats why a range of PH is good sometimes to feed your plants.

Thanks Rhapsody, My temp in the box is staying between 72 and 82, the humidity is not that big of a deal, my plants have been doing fine so far. The only thing I am worried about is the yellowing on the durrty starting from the inside and working its way out, and the Northern lights whose new growth is coming in a little yellow. I watered it earlier today and the runoff was at 6.42 so I figured it was fine but then I noticed the leaves starting to turn yellow. It is 19 days old and I gave it half strength orchid plus. The first quarter strength dose I gave it a few days ago seemed to give it a little boost and it was looking great but I'm just starting to get a little concerned now.

Hey man. Pretty neat setup you got. I have two NL going now and I want to get a durrty dragon soon. I have an LED that looks exactly like yours but it isn't a Blackstar. Seems to be working just fine though. As far as the humidity goes; if you wanted to raise it you can place a dish or a couple short glasses of water in front of your circulation fan. I didn't see a fan in the pic but maybe you just didn't have it in there? If not you definitely need a small fan circulating air around in there and blowing it across the water should raise your humidity pretty easily. It worked for me. You can also lightly mist the walls in your box just be careful not to get that light or anything else electrical wet of course. As your babies grow and have more foliage then that will raise you humidity as well. It's true that it isn't a huge issue but keeping it at optimum as possible will just be that much better for your overall turnout. It should be higher for vegging but you'll be happy to have that lower humidity when they are flowering. Hope I helped you out man.

Squid out. Peace

Hey again. This is just my opinion but that DD looks like it got bleached from the light. Especially since you say the epsom salt didn't help. Your light doesn't look too close though so maybe that's not it. It looks great otherwise so that is what I am thinking. Just wanted to add this.

Squid out. Peace

Hey squid, thanks for the advice, I was wondering about my light, since my box is only 48" and the pot is 8 or so inches I was wondering if I would run into problems. Since they are in the flowering stage, I know the light should be up a little higher maybe around 18-24 inches? Right now it is at 13 but I can rig it up someway to get it higher and hopefully that will help. I wasn't sure if they would get bleached by this LED from that close but Now that you say that I guess I better move it up. Thanks a lot man I appreciate it.
