So this is my setup for a few seasons...Two seperate rooms for veg and flower...400w Mh 90W LED in the veg room wit two fans...Plants all in 3gallon buckets wit happyfrog soil...6 ble cheese that were vegged under 8 cfls in a little bucket for around 3 weeks then put in new rooms...The 6 auto flower AK are the small ones that are about a week old...Sry blue cheese is just about 4 weeks....One came up way late and it is the tiny runt....In the flower room is one 400w hps and another 110w wide LED is going into the flower room,sometime next week..Both rooms are also going to get 2 fans and dehumidifiers untill i get an exhaust system up and running.....
Bassiscly i have two questions,,
shjould this room stand up to the amount of elec coming thru the room with the flower room completly set up and all?
And Wat are the burns on the bottom leaves as shown in the pics?

Temp in room gets no more than 75degrees but the humidity has reached 90 at times....it usually hovers around 75 also....

Thx for the help.

Looks like nute burn to me bro. They are just babies. In most soil grows you do not need to feed them for the 1st 2 or 3 weeks. Then start at like a 1/4 to 1/3 dose and work it up slowly from there.

can anyone answer my quesions?

funny, i read through this and did not really see any questions lol :bigjoint: :wall: maybe give the questions their own separate line first so peeps can skip all that reading and address the questions.

I have a question for you: WHAT is your PH of your water? i use happy frog and like the PH balance of 7 that it gives off.



Peace

yes it has only ben one day for this thread my others didnt get any attention eithr...i started wit 1/2 strenght nutes and i didnt actually water them but i was pretty sure that my buddy watered them mutiple times wit the 1/2 strenght even thought i told him every other watering,,,w.e...the only thing about that is that all of them should show nute burn cause they all were watered at the same time wit same nutes...

and sirbudmaster the questions are in the original post ...look for the question marks... thx

People have answered your second question, and you refuse to believe that it is nute burn. You gave them 1/2 strength nutes before they were ready for it, give them water for a couple of waterings then start at 1/4 strength, they'll be fine. It's by no means the worst case of nute burn, but it is nute burn nonetheless.
As for your electricity q, you need to add up the wattage of everything in your room (adding 10% for power consumption by ballasts) then divide that figure by the voltage to get the amount of current you are drawing in amps.
If this current is less than 80% of the circuit breakers rated load you are fine. If the breaker is rated 15 amps you want to be less than 12. If it is 20a you can go up to 16. I don't think you'll be over but the least you can do is add it up yourself.

Maybe some of the plants are slightly more tolerant towards the nutes than others, you will get different phenotypes of each strain in a pack of seeds. My cheese plants each have different requirements and grow slightly differently but all produce the same smoke.
Always start light with the nutes, I usually wait until one of the bottom fan leaves start to yellow before dosing them with a weak solution. If they enjoy that give nutes again next time, and gradually increase the strength after 3-4 waterings, or if they show any sign of deficiency. If you ever see signs of nute burn, give them straight water and then back the nutes down to the last level they were happy with.
It's not too difficult to grow marijuana, you just have to listen to what your plants are telling you.

Just give water as you normally would. Only flush in severe cases of nute burn, and if you raise the dose gradually like I described, you should never get to that stage.
