33 plants - 1330w (HPS & Plasma) - E&F - Lucas - How to advance from here? HELP!!!!
How to advance from here?
Girls about two weeks growing under the lights, a few days (3 or 4, I think) into 12/12 photoperiod..
I am using Lucas Formula at about 50% strenght, and the ppms (0.5 conversion) are 400 to 430, and have been that way for the duration of the grow - hasn't gone up or down.. pH is 5.7-6.0, was 5.5-5.7 a week ago.
I have foliar fed once last week with calcium + magnesium, this was 250ppm if I remember correctly.
The RH in the room is about 40-70% while temps are going around 30-33C (85-95F).. I have a circulating fan constantly on.
I know, the temp is way too high, no need to tell me that..
But what I wanna know is;
#1 - When to start feeding more heavily? I am thinking about giving them two weeks to absorb the current nutrients, and then go to full Lucas at ~1400ppm.
#2 - If I'd put the lights to the maximum distance, the plants would be about 150cm (about 60 inch) away from the light. This would help with temps BUT then again there would be less light to plants available so... Which one to choose - more light and more heat, or would less light less heat make up for a larger harvest?
Here are some pics of the room. The strains are Super Skunk, LSD and some mystery sativa. Oh, and some mystery indica too. The plants in soil are just to fill up the room a bit, not for yield, don't worry.
