Growing in a prefab grow cabinet 18"x13"x48". Temperatures are way to high. The fans were not strong enough to move air adequately. Later on in the grow I assemble a makeshift mini a/c that takes care of the temperature, but struggle with high temps for the first few weeks.
At this point in the grow I was getting some nute burn even with a low amount of nutes so I cut them back to 8th strength where they pretty much stayed for the rest of veg. Heat was still a serious problem as you can see by the horrible drooping. I handle that next week.
I made a makeshift a/c unit out of a styrofoam cooler, fan, and ice packs. It dramatically dropped the air and reservoir temps. You can really tell she is a lot happier. I upped the Micro this week and she responded wonderfully.
Just getting fatter at this point. I dropped the RH down to 40% this week. She started to put off a lemon/pine smell. I also bought a 16x16x48 tent to put her in instead of that literal hot box. From this point on temps are under control without the need of the styrofoam a/c unit.
She is very temp and nute sensitive from my experience. My ppm never broke 400 after the first nute burn at a ppm of 500. Once I got the temp under control she was very easy to train. For an auto she responded very well to defoliation so if you're a fan go for it. I made one mistake during the dry and left the fans in the box on which over dried her a bit.
I did forget to mention that around week 7 I took her out of that grow box (which I never recommend buying) and bought a 16x16x48 tent with a strong 4" inline fan and it was a much better environment to finish the grow with.
@Moneymitch125, that's an AN product right? As soon as I finish off the GH stuff I bought I was going to switch over and give a few of their ph perfect products a try anyway so I'll pick some up, thank you.
