Hey Growers,
I’ve been dealing with a case of the dreaded CHS… Took me out for 4 days. I’m going to be making some changes to my cannabis intake to prevent this from happening again.
Almost just as bad, I had no one to back me up on my plants while I was down for the count so I did what I could all half-dead like.
Anywho, I’ve been dealing with too much negative pressure in my grow tent lately causing it to be expanded. Last night upon inspection I noticed little to no air was being pushed out from the AC Infinity exhaust fan (I have the AC Infinity filter connected directly to it). This is a new issue. I went ahead took everything out of my tent and took apart the filter and fan. Upon powering the fan back on the blades swung in the reverse direction. I was like WTF??? I know I didn’t install it backward. I then turned the fan around, and upon powering on, the blades started rotating normally. Now I’m thinking the fan has an issue. I installed everything back as it initially was and everything looks fine as far as the air pressure in the tent. This morning my tent is super expanded again, and again I don’t feel much air coming from the ducting vent.
I’ve only been operating this thing for a couple of months now so I hope they replace it with no issues under the manufacturer’s warranty.
The plants themselves. I’ve cured the calmag deficiency issue. I went ahead and took another page from @Mpower11 and got the “StealthRO 150”. This thing completely fixed my water issues. EC & PPM is now at 0 to start. It did seem to raise my PH a bit but I picked up the ultra-potent “Safer Gro Ph Down” which is OMRI listed. A single ml of this stuff sinks my ph way below where I want in 2 gallons. Still tinkering with the dosage.
Now because of this episode of CHS and the fan issue happening at the same time, I wasn’t able to do all the things needed so the plants did go through high stress of dehydration and I got some yellow leaves near the bottom. This week I’ll be changing the light cycle into flower. I’ll post pics soon.
I really wish I would’ve started with one plant rather than 4 for my first grow lol.
