Yeah what ever the original problem was has triggered the others I think, which points to heat. But I was under the impression that as long as temps and humidity are consistant then it shouldn't be a problem. Will see how the extra fan helps anyway.

What size extractor fan do you have. And is it running on high. Maybe you need another one to control the heat

It's that mate it will still have lots of food in it just water, does it have blue bits in soil ?

And if you're in uk I will tell you what soil is best mg root boost potting mix drainage is fantastic and no npk nutes in it or its very mild and you can use nutes after two or three weeks no slow release shyt..

I think with adding your nutes and there is still loads in the soil still left so plant can't take it..

Just water for now mate or if you can get your self some tesco water I find that is good to leach your soil with its soft water I think but definitely see some improvements,

I had heat issues and n toxic plant as soon as I changed water to tesco it clear everything up, and plant's started growing again

I didn't think there would still be nutrients in the soil itself after 9 weeks. They responded fine to feeding during veg. Can't see any blue bits.

Well going off the input so far I think my first course of action will just be the fan outside to lower temps, if it's not perked up at all after the next lights on then I'll try the tesco water.

I'm not running as many on the next grow so it shouldn't be as cramped which will obvs improve circulation and hopefully bring my temps down a little.

Miracle-Gro Potting Mix 20L 018229 C.jpg
This is the soil I'm using and having very good success, I stopped using perlite that helps when getting rid of the soil lol.

That's a good plan and all the best, but if your not a fan of buying soil from hydro shop using perlite... I promise you this will not fail you as long as you make sure it root boost potting mix

I think if I moved it into a smaller place then temps would rocket. Ventilation is ok where it is, I always have the window open and the door slightly ajar to create a through draft. Also venting out the window, using carbon filter to minimise smell.

Only thing I've been thinking of doing before next one is just moving the tent closer to the window, there's clutter there now just up to the bottom of the sill but it will still insulate room slightly. Need to purchase a blind though before doing that lol.

I'm dreading summer.

Ive seen something very similar to this,excessive nitrates in the soil caused a low ph in the rootzone and the plant stopped taking up water.
