I inherited these plants from a friend that started them. He was busted for something else so I'm babysitting until he gets out. The plants are in a 10x12 room but they are all huddled up in the middle of the room. There are a couple boxfans on constantly, a exhaust fan hooked up to the hood of the light, and another fan with appopriate cfpm that is responsible for moving the air out of the room.
my buddy was only going out of town for a bit
while ive been watching them ive noticed
1. the plants directly under the light. the leaves started curling upward and turning brown, looked really dry
so i raised the lights a bit and that seemed to help out those plants
now
a lot of the other plants have yellowish leaves and im not sure why.
the tops of the plants look good but some of the lower leaves are turning yellow
i did not have the best watering techniques at first but since read how to do it correctly.
I was dumping a bunch of water at a time into the pots instead of a little bit at a time. dont know if this is causing some of the plants to yellow or not
plants are a little old because they were started using cfls but when they looked a little wispy a HPS was purchased to beef them up a bit. now want to get them adjusted correctly before switching to bud
