This is what the beginning stages look like of what I have going on here. Golden brown, almost copper or metallic in appearance. Eventually leaf curls up and dries out it seems. This pic of newly affected growth is on a plant that has been growing very vigoriusly over the last few days. One half...

I planted my crimson clover yesterday. Should I mulch over top of that or wait for it to grow in? Yes there’s some really nice new growth but some of these girls are looking really tired.

Update: some girls are looking very healthy. Others are progressively getting worse. Even the healthy girls are showing some brown spots on the leaves which is how the plant in the center of this photo started. Wondering if this could be root rot and if it could possibly be spreading around this...

So what’s going to happen with the plants already in the soil? Should I just bank on them being a loss?

Thanks for your knowledge. What would you recommend as an amending schedule for this to get things rolling? And how long do you think it’s completely cooked? It’s evident it’s still cooking due to elevated co2 in the room.

Thanks for the reply. If it were excess co2, would it not stop progressing once I created some ventilation to bring the levels down? It’s continously progressing. Also, I didn’t add any lime to my mix. Should I get a soil pH and top dress with some for next watering? How hard is it to get a soil...

Hey Shluby. Been researching things a bit. Wondering if this is nutrient burn or nitrogen toxicity from the soil being too hot? I’ve had the co2 levels under control and at 1500 or less for a couple days now and the crunchy leaves are still spreading. Thoughts?

Ok will do. Thank you for the info. You seem to be a well established guy here. Thank you for your continued efforts to spread the hobby. I’ll give them a few days to recover. Should I plant my cover crop today? Wait? It should be mentioned that only a cluster of 3 of these plants in close...

I was told checking pH with living soil is a moot point. Is this not true? Based on a lot of research, that’s the conclusion I arrived at.

Greetings. First grow. Sealed room. 78 degrees, 65-70% RH. Living soil based on coot mix. 4x8 soil bed under ProGrowTech LED’s with spectrums dialed in for veg. The soil sat outside and cooked for 30 days, but is continually giving off co2 indoors forcing me to vent rooms to keep the levels at...

So far with keeping the co2 levels at proper levels, the ladies have sprung back to health. Will follow up tomorrow.

I’m more or less asking how the immature soil is going to affect them. I have the appropriate lighting requirements to utilize the excess co2. The reason I even know the co2 levels are way too high and started to research why this would be is because I have a co2 controller in the room hooked up...

I’ve come up with a system of fans and open doors to keep the levels at 1200-1500. However, I have plants in the ground. How will this affect my girls that are already planted?

Greetings. Long time lurker here and have gathered lots of info. Currently just planted my first crop in a 4x8 soil bed (used coot’s mix). I’m in a tightly sealed room that’s about 7’6 by 11’. My soil was mixed outdoors during the cooler months here in the PNW. It sat for 30 days but I don’t...
