I'm in my 3rd year of growing. First year was with tents with apollo 8 lights. Then I got 4 Mars Hydro II 1600 Watts. Things were going well. Yields weren't great and had temperature issues and spidermite issues and and and. But I managed to get harvests that were acceptable.
So this year I decided I want to do it 100% correctly. And it has completely backfired, and I don't know what to do anymore. I'm really hoping someone can tell me what is wrong.
I did the following:
- Adding epoxy to the floors
- Ditched the tents
- Split the room into two sections of 1.2 by 2.4 meter growing areas
- Got the right extraction fans
- Painted the walls white
- Added diamond lightite mylar to half of each room
I ended up with this:
And this:
First picture is the first room I did, second picture is the second room. While I was making the changes to the room, I still had plants in the tents in the room. I didnt pay too much attention to them, and I think they got way too much heat which resulted in them being burnt. Or that is what I thought. After planting more seeds, the same kept happening to the seeds. As in every single seed I've planted since, has also burnt, even with the lights raised VERY HIGH from the plants. See how far the lights are from the plants in the first image? And on top of that, I only have the "growth" light on. Not the "bloom" one, which means the seedlings should SERIOUSLY NOT get burnt. Why do they then look like this:
The light makes it difficult to see, but it's burnt. Kinda like these:
This is one of the plants that was doing just fine in the tents and then when I moved it, it just got annihilated, as you can see. I have no idea why this is happening. It makes no sense to make. There wasn't much of an environment change. At least not in the sense that MORE light is hitting the plants. The overall temperature in the room is also down now that the tents are out.
I really am totally stumped. I don't want to plant more seeds because every one pops up fried.
Things I can rule out / what I've tried:
- I switched to the soil I used to use in the beginning, so I dont think it's a nutrient issue
- I've left the room's door open to sort of make sure enough fresh air is coming in, so I don't think it is air related, but it might be
Crazy theories:
- The paint somehow lingers in the air and messing with the plants?
- Too much air circulation?
- My extraction fans are moving the air too fast in and out of the room, and the plants can't breathe somehow?
I really don't know. Any help?
Here's a pic of the plant that got burn the LEAST:
Any ideas?
