So I went through a lot of issues this week but in the end i feel I have a much better setup due to it,
My plants decided to stop growing for the entire week, I thought perhaps I had bad soil initially (Which I did) so I added in a ton of fox farm ocean,
No Change,
Then I decided perhaps my temps were to hot as in day time I was consistently hitting 87-89, I upgraded my exhaust to a 6" line and added a 4" intake so it was no longer passive intake, this brought my temps down to an even 80 with wiggle room (fans are only on 40%).
No Change.
I decided to water them again after a couple days, mixed in nutes and also added seaweed.
No Change,
I was left frustrated and unsure what to do, then I came across a post mentioning if you had to much light it could slow growth, could this be it? (i did have a 2000W equivalent (404W draw) light only 24" above my plants using both bloom and veg mode at once)
I bought myself a lux meter, it was showing 99k lux (lux meter topped out).
Done some research and determined I should be at 50k, I modified my light setup turning on only the veg light and raising my light to get my lux to reach 50k.
It Worked, guys I literally had to much light as a problem.......
Anyway due to this I learned a lot and upgraded a lot so in the end it was an informative week, but very little growth,
I did top my plants but due to problems there was no progress to show other than topping pictures themselves (I think I did it right?)
