Have you considered maybe your giving them too much light? Ive seen 'nutrient deficiency' symptoms occur when plants were receiving too much light along with too high of leaf temperature.

Are you on the lowest setting? 600?

Yep. 600.

Chlorosis across the plants. Happens every time. Every strain. Then I spend the rest of the round trying to chase health. Not falling for it this time. I need to figure out whats up before they get flipped.

I know it's not heat. I dropped $4k on a really great 3 ton LG Split right before the second round.

Humidity @ 40-55. Temps 70-80. CO2 @ 1200-1400 ppm. Conditions in the room are fantastic.

I'm wondering if I just need to get more spread between the canopy and lights. But I'm at 3' above the canopy.

I had the lights too close together the first round. I've spaced them to slightly more than 4' side to side...and about 5 1/2' heel to toe.

I'm giving these things one more round. I don't want to go back to conventionals. But the product just comes out toasted under these things. I'll just go high and hot with Daystars if I can't figure these things out.

They're costing me money at this point and I just seem to be spinning my wheels.

I can't get these things ups to 1000. Temps hate it. Plants hate it. Just start to lose fan leaves right and left.

So...I may have 8 Gavita classics for sale in a few months if anyone is interested. Only three pulls on these bulbs. :biglaugh:
 
I run a bunch of Gavitas and epaps. I have found that I need to run a high EC across the board. I used to linger around 800. Now I kick my feeds to around 1000-1200 consistently.

I also run more CaMg

How many runs have you done with deficient looking plants and not tried adjusting the feed levels?

Its a common topic in this very thread, many folks have had to bump their nutrition levels...

We've tried changing our nutrient levels on all three runs. I just cannot seem to get these plants dialed.

I've had to throw in the towel each time and flip them less than 100% healthy because we just ran out of time. I've vegged underneath them for as long as 4 weeks before flipping trying to figure out what is wrong with them. But who has the type of cash to just run these lights 18hrs a day with no harvest in sight?

Gotcha, hopefully you can get her dialed, that sounds frustrating with a new dream room!

:tiphat: I get the same chlorosis but the usual dose of Epson salts or this lately seems to fix. cmx. here's a shot of last nights new growth you can see at 1000 at 36 inches. wonder if it is your combined lighting = like over lapping lights to much??

Yes. We bought what are now referred to as the "classics". That controller doesn't work with them.

The new Gavitas have actually been sort of recalled. They are supposed to be available at the end of September. They bumped back the availability at least once so far. Let's see if they're delayed again.
