Hi all, the text got deleted from my post for some reason. Plants have been growing for 5 weeks. Using 600 led light. Have nutes once. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

600w? How high is it from the plants?

 

[Eire420]

Correct. It's about 3 feet away. I'll post pic of set up now.

Heat was an issue. Been leaving door open during the day and upgraded my fan. Right now heat is 85 and humidity is 50. Down from 90 temp-65 hum.

How many fans do you have running?

I have two decent sized in- and out-take fans + small desk fan for canopy that run 24/7.

My temp never goes up 26*C and I live in sub-tropical climate.

Set up is very minimal for now. Only have one fan running and no intake or outake.

That would make sense.

Maybe you could look into adding CO2 into your setup. It requires a sealed environment and slightly higher temperatures than normal.

Stealthgrow had a grow where he added a diy co2 bucket.

I will look into adding co2. Should i trim yellow leaves on my plants?

The diy bucket with yeast and sugar is dead easy and dirt cheap. No control over the amount you're adding though.

On the leaves, I'm not an expert but I would. I've read somewhere that you better cut stressed or hurt leaves as the plant will spend a lot of energy in healing them. Don't quote me on it and double check though.

The plants have stretched way too much and no stacking. The light is way to high get them 18 inches above the tops and get the temps under control. If high temps are hovering above 85 F degrees your yield is going to suffer. Just my observation from the pics hope everything goes well for you...peace...also if that is aluminium foil on the walls get rid of it. The foil will increase your temps because they hold a lot of the heat and have poor light refraction for your plants.
