Hi all!
My latest attempt to grow under LED is a bigger succes than all the previous attempts but now I have a new issue:
My top leaves started to yellow from the veins. now 1 week later the yellowing is going more outward the leaves and lower and
smaller leaves are affected too now.
I think it is best to give an as accurate as possible description of the growing situation:
The grow is setup in my basement in a room next to my central heating unit (gas powered). In the basement there is a constant
temperature of 14°C (59°F).
My set up:
· The strain I use is the Northern Light feminized from Vision seeds and they are 8weeks old now (from seed);
· a secret jardin grow tent h1,8m (6ft), w0,9m (3ft), d0,9m (3ft);
· 90W LED grow light:SUNMEG:
Name: New 90W UFO LED Grow Light
Model: LZ-008
Specification from supplier: LEDs:45pcs 3W Epistar&Bridgelux, Lumens:3650Lm, Color:Red and Blue, Power:90W, Input voltage:AC86-
264V, Lighting Area:30Square meter, Height above the plant:2.5/3.0/3.5m, Wavelength:R:630nm;B:460nm, LEDs Ratio: 8(Red 630nm)/1
(Blue 460nm), Lifespan:50000H;
The lamp is poitioned 40cm (=16inch) above the plants.
· oscillating tower fan at the lowest fan speed so the leaves move just a little;
· I added 3 x 20W lCFLùs (2x cool, 1x warm).
· I use a 95W heating mat to compensate for the less heat by using LED.
· The temperature on top of the pots is 22°C (72°F).
· The temperature setting for the heating mat is 23°C (74°F). This temperature uis measured in the soil of 1 pot at its bottom.
Can there be a too high temperature for the roots???
· I use as a soil Biogreen grow mix (with perlite). This is already high dosed on nutrients. They claim up to 6 weeks in veg. I
repotted them into 25liter (=6,6 gallon pots) the 4th of Februari so there should be enough nutrients left I suppose.
· For watering I use tab water (EC0,6 & pH
and warm it to 22°C (72°F) and add vinegar to adjust pH to 6,0. Since I repotted in
new soil, I have not added any nutrients as I am affraid to overnutriate as there are already nutrients in the soil. I water from
above and I water not very often. Approx. 3 times a week 1,4liter/plant (=0,37gallon).
.The humidity in the tent is between 50 and 80%. I use a hand mistifier.
What can I do to determine the cause?
Can it be a lack of nutrients or a lock out?
too much or too little watering?
pH?
I hope you guys can help me start up because I can not find someone that is able to help me on this because they dont have
experience with LED grows.
Thanks for the effort!
