PLEASE HELP!
Hello everyone. I am new to the forums as well as growing and I have a few concerns regarding my grow setup as well as some deficiency questions. I have been struggling to keep plants alive and I am sure someone will have insight as to what the problems are. I really should have come here sooner. I will list my gear and then my questions regarding it. Thank you in advance.
Veg room is 4x4x6 tent, 432 watt t5ho, 2x 6 inch clip fan and a 240 cfm booster fan. Flower room is 5x5x6, 1000w HPS cool tube w/ reflector, and 6" 440 cfm inline fan with carbon filter.
Soil is Royal Gold coco for topsoil and super soil mix for nutrients. Super soil is 2/3 FF Ocean Forest and the rest Light Warrior but I mix in Royal gold because it still seems really heavy. I use RO water as well for feeding.
1. I added an image of 2 seedlings. I started them in Jiffy plugs then planted them in Fox Farms light warrior with peat pots. They are now in 1 gallon pots of Royal Gold without super soil and I was going to transplant them into 3 gallons. I thought the super soil might be too hot for them this young. Should I just put them into the 3 gallon with super soil?
2. The second and third pictures are of plants I've had for months that are barely hanging on. They were in light warrior with super soil but have been transplanted since into Royal Gold with super soil.
A. I see the pink around the edges and from what I have researched that generally means there is a ph imbalance and lack of molybdenum. I have tested the ph of the soil and it seems to come out at 6.8 for the healthier one and 6 or so for other but the runoff water for the healthy one is about 6.5 and about 5 for the crunchy one. Do I just need to flush the both of them with triple the pot size of RO water? If I have the pot flat on the table without any tray for runoff will that create nutrient build up in the root bed?
B. Can anyone help me save them?
3. This question is regarding ventilation. I thought the 2x 6 inch clip fans and the 240 cfm would keep it well ventilated in the room but I keep the temperature at 72*f which is perfect for me but the room will not get any cooler than 81*~f. Do I need to get a small inline booster fan for the bottom of the room? Possibly an oscillating fan instead of the 2x 6' fixed fans?
4. Will the 440 cfm fan with an oscillating fan be enough ventilation for the 5x5?
