Hi everyone! This is my first grow ever and I'm having slight problems. I hope you guys can help me out a little bit.
Basic info:
Room area: 2.1 m^2
Room ventilation: a ventilation shaft and two small fans blowing on the plants.
Strand: Auto-ak47
Number of plants: 10
Stage: flowering for a few weeks now
Growing base is soil.
Pot size: 11 litres with Canna Terra Pro soil.
Lighting: 2x 400W HPS
The temperature is quite hot, but the fans seem to cool the air around the plants for aprox 25 C.
Unforunately I have no idea of the pH of the soil, but I believe it's pretty stable, so 5.5-6.5.
There should be no pests since it's ingrown.
I water every time the soil gets dry. I determine dryness by sticking a wooden chop-stick for approx 5-8 cm in the soil.
The fertilizers I've used are:
- Substral for vege (6%-1,3%-5%; Nitrogen-Phosphor-Potassium)
- Canna Terra Flores for flowering, twice a week by the standards.
- At the germination state, I used a rooting hormone and same thing when we planted the seeds; I spread a little bit of the hormone in powder form on the soil and planted the seed, which probably made them grow slower due to immense root formation.
As you can see from the images above, the leaves are wilting and showing a spectrum of different leaf colour. At first I thought the problem was overwatering, since I water 0.3-0.5 litres about every 2 days and then reduced it to about 0.2 litres with fertilizers (0.1 litre of pure water, 0.05l Canna Terra flores, 0.05l substral solution). The substral was involved because I thought they had nitrogen deficiency due to darker coloured leaves. But now the problems have escalated a bit; the wilting continues and so does the yellowing.
What should I do?

I've never seen an upside down grow before, very inventive. lol
