Indoor Mephisto/Nightowl Grow

[DoobieGrows]

The girls are looking somewhat better
Today is day 28 . I don't know what the problem is at this point. Environment is ideal. Temperature is 75 degrees RH is 62 percent. Lights are hung high on low setting. I am slowly working on turning up the intensity. I tested the runnoff and the pH was 6.9 so I had to flush the one that's Droopy to get down to 6.2

I am going to feed at 5.5 tomorrow see if I can get the ph in the coco down to 6.0. I don't think I had my light intensity high enough. Just put it to 200ppd as per my phone ppfd app. Idk how accurate it is so I stopped at 200. It's not even at the second click on the dimmer dial. So it may be accurate

I don't know if you should trust the PPFD app. It looks to me like you're just not getting enough light.

Thanks for the response.
I am loosing hope at this point. Really getting frustrated. I turned up the light. They will grow or they will fry. My environment is ideal now. It wasn't before I got a humidifier. Maybe they need a lil time to adjust.

No worries. You said your light is hanging pretty high. You could probably get away with turning it up all the way. (Not that I'm suggesting that.)

A rule of thumb I use is to keep turning it up until some of the plants start praying. To me, that indicates they are changing the angle to reduce light received because it's just a little too intense. -which is about perfect.

Don't know whether that's actually true or not, but it works for me.

This CDLC/Skywalker is praying a little right now...

I did a quick refresh on this journal and I was going to say the same. Looks like lack of chlorophyll production in the leaves and the stretch on some of those indicate they’re reaching for more direct light intensity.

Also keep in mind leaf temps run about 3 degrees cooler than air temp, so that 75 could also go up a little and you’d be okay

I have a Mosca Seedling that is behind all the other's. She is praying hard so I didn't want to push it anymore. I had to put her in the corner of the tent.

Thank you for taking the time to do that.

I've always wondered if newborns prayed - I can see now that they are just as religious as their big sisters.
