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.

Does the curl here (pic- Day 10) look like mild heat stress? Temps hover around 23-24°C (~75°F). RH ~ 65-75%. Water pH'ed to 6.5. Soil runoff tests @ 6.4-6.5.

Leaf problem and purple stemsHi,
I have a problem with my auto.
I have purple stems and problems with the leaves.
The soil contains organic nutrients and mycos sometimes I add flowering boost from royalqueenseeds so I don't think it is P or K problem.
Is it a nitrogen deficiency ?
Thank you for the answer

Brown spots/yellow tips after accidentally breaking a bladeHi!
I accidentally broke an older blade from one of her leaves, and after a couple of days that leaf started getting brownish spots and slightly yellowing tips.
Is this normal to happen after a broken blade and will eventually die off? Or is this any sort of deficiency?
Thanks !
