The plants in earthboxes with build a soil light recipe have been growing poorly. Watering issue or Is the soil too hot
ohighoanstarted grow question 2y ago
why do plants in the earthboxes grow poorly? Am I not be watering enough? I stick my finger in the soil an inch or more down it feels perfectly moist and the eco Whitts have been dropping to 32% before I’ve been watering and settle at 35 after. Haven’t filled the reservoir yet.

Biggest burning from excess of N and shows magnesium issue too. Others had bad start too. Too hot soil for sure.
35% in veg is stupidly low, till second week of flower never drop below 70% rh.
Generally looks ok, not a racers, but all goes well. I see no watering issues from plant look.

It also stops your soil from drying quicker. Plus it blocks oxygen from getting into the soil as it dries IMO.

You would be best off to put the white side up, then there would be much less heat transfer.

The black plastic over the soil will heat your roots. Put your hand inside after the lights been on a couple of hours and feel the heat in there. Roots don't like a lot of heat. If it feels warm under that plastic, remove it. Could be creating hot spots in your soil.

Hongo mildiu?Hace unos días, las primeras hojas presentaron zonas con necrosis, y día a día avanzó. Será por el riego foliar con ? Por el viento directo del fan? O es un hongo mildiu? Un día la H.R llego al 80 90%, el crecimiento avanza pero muy lento, el sustrato parece tardar en secarse.

Brown area on leavesBonjours à tous. Voilà certaines feuilles de ma plante deviennent attrape des tâches brunes. J'ai donné du GHE essential (oligo-éléments) and cal magnifique (0,3ml/L) ce matin ainsi que du biographie Bloom. Je pense à une carence en magnésium et vous qu'en pensez-vous?

How to handle minor nutrient burn?I have some minor nutrient burn forming and am about to trust a friend with feeding her for a week. Do I have them just do ph balanced water? Or a lesser dosage? I don’t want to have them feed nutrients unless y’all think it’s absolutely imperative.
