Far too wet for far too long, you have been running near 70rh the entire grow with temps in the low 70'sF.
Daycycle: At 30°C/86F, a leaf may transpire three times as fast as it does at 20°C/68F, through stomata.
This is where the surface temperature of the leaves can make a difference, as the optimal temperature for the photosynthesis process is a stable 28˚C or 82.4˚F. Usually, the leaves are between 3° and 5° F cooler than the room because they are transpiring. The evaporation on the leaf's surface literally draws heat from the leaf, thereby cooling it. Endothermic.
Water cycling through plants is a process that involves water moving from the soil through the plant and back to the atmosphere through transpiration. This process is part of the larger water cycle. Water cycling and nutrient uptake are related because water dissolves nutrients and transports them to plants.
Water, water, water until? EC tells you to. A low soil EC reading indicates that it's likely time to fertilize, as a low EC signifies a low concentration of soluble salts and nutrients in the soil, meaning the plants may be lacking essential nutrients; conversely, a high EC reading suggests the soil is already sufficiently fertilized or even over-fertilized, potentially causing plant stress.
Ideal EC levels need to be adjusted as cannabis plants grow, typically starting at about 0.8-1.3 for seedlings and steadily increasing to about 1.5-2.0 during flowering. This will vary somewhat according to your chosen strain, your growing medium, the nutrient solution, and growing environment. EC levels that remain too low or too high can kill a plant. Thankfully, these levels can be adjusted to bring cannabis plants back to health if issues are identified quickly.
The key difference between "soil EC" (electrical conductivity of soil) and "water EC" is that soil EC measures the conductivity of the entire soil matrix, including both the solid particles and the water within the pore spaces, while water EC only measures the conductivity of the water itself; essentially, soil EC reflects the total salt content in the soil, whereas water EC represents the dissolved salts only in the water portion of the soil.
Electrical conductivity (EC) to parts per million (PPM) can be converted using a variety of formulas, including EC x 500 or EC x 700. The conversion factor used depends on the scale and the type of solution being measured.
Conversion formulas
EC x 500: Used to calculate PPM 500 or TDS
EC x 700: Used to calculate PPM 700
EC x 0.55: Used to get an approximate PPM equivalent
EC x 1000 / 2: Used to get an approximate sodium chloride TDS value
PPM x 2 / 1000: Used to get an EC value
