Yellow veins since a week during vegging, LED

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 8) 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 don’t have


experience with LED grows.


Thanks for the effort!

I'm just a rookie but 59° seems a little low. That more than likely wouldn't be accountable for the discolorations though.

I'm sure one of the pros will help ya shortly! Good luck!!!

Hi Jartlow and thanks for replying,

The temperature in the tent is min 20°C and the root temp is even higher.
What I forgot to mention is that I'm using a 24/24 light cycle. i read that it doesn't hurt during vegging.

Greetz, Rich
