Advice, just moved plants

So...I had 20 plants under a 1000w, all perfect specimens in a perfect environment. I started flowering 16 3 days ago in the same room and moved the 4 other plants to my new veg room. The 4 plants now are drooping quite a bit and quite stressed. What should I do? Did these 4 plants get too stressed from the temperature and lighting differences between the two rooms? The 4 plants went from 77degrees to 70 and from a 1000w to a 4 bulb t5. The new room also less fresh air because it is too cold and I don't want to make it colder by bringing fresh air in. But the 4 plants are only 8 inches tall. I should probably lower nutes a little also?

The differents between the 1000 w and the new light grow environment has shocked it slightly.

But the enviroment hasn't changed really just temps a bit don't worry to much ..

You say your in flower 3 days ago , they still need lots of (n) so let the medium dry , then water with a slight trace of (n) if still drooping just do a water , then a trace element of (n)


Peace!

So you dropped the temp and decreased the available light, and you're right that would stress them. The other thing it does is slow them down. So I bet they'll drink less, and use fewer nutes, just like you said. Sounds like you have it figured, good job.

Sounds like one room works and the other don't. I'd move everything into the first room and let the slower 4
just end up smaller. In the mean time find a way to use a small space heater to get your second room up to
snuff. Don't try to "rescue" 4 plants and screw up 16, eh?

PS - I know how tough it is to fit that many plants under one light. Try setting the pots on upside down pots of
varying sizes. That way you can have your plants at different levels rather than have everyone fighting for the
same space in the light.

So you decreased the temperature and reduced the available mild, and you're right that would pressure them. The other factor it does is slowly them down. So I bet they'll consume less, and use less nutes, just like you said. Appears to be like you have it figured..........
