So did you fix it?riffy1229 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 08, 2022 2:36 amHello everyone, we need your help, the wisdom of the veterans!
We’re small-time growers, growing indoors for personal use only and been doing so for 1.5 years. Our place is usually humid and we live on the 3rd floor. We have a room including two tents, a flowering tent and a vegetative tent. We have a dehumidifier in the room and keep it at 50-60% all the time. The temperature also fluctuates between 20-26 degrees Celsius. The airflow is provided by 6 strategically positioned fans including an extractor and a standing fan in the flowering tent. We also have small dehumidifiers inside the flowering tent.
All has been going great with the exceptions of some minor issues which we were able to fix. However, over the last three cycles, our babies are constantly dying when we are shifting them to the flowering stage within 2-3 weeks.
We had an aphid/thrips problem first which progressively got worse and wiped the first cycle. So we cleaned it up completely, destroyed everything related to that grow, sterilized everywhere and sprayed insecticide inside (while it was empty). Our second cycle died in a ‘unknown’ way, all the leaves started yellowing, dried up and died but the branches were still strong and green/purplish. Thinking it was the aphids again, we did the room clean-up again from scratch.
Our third cycle is ongoing now since 2-3 weeks now and we have three plants and all three are starting to wilt again. The leaves are drying (like it cracks when you press it) and becoming yellow. In some cases, it’s curling, we reckon it’s a different issue. We have attached some pictures for clarification.
We store our soil in big packs within the room itself, it is sealed but there is few aeration holes. We spray Naeem online 4 times a month and insecticides once a month.
We think it might be fungus gnats or a nutrient issue. Kindly advise.
