canopy temperature is always slightly higher, not much tho.

there are 2 fans in the tent in the corners, every leaf in the tent is gently dancing.
I had close to 90% humidity. Someone mentioned small pots, but I use 3 gallon airpots, which are true 2.2 gallons. Yours are like 4 gallon, but do not know how quick they dry. Going into flower you need at least 2 feeds a day, that are needed.

My humidity is the same 45-55% my temps were 68-75 f. I run 70/30 coco/perlite in regular 1gal pots. My first grow I messed up a bit with high ec and had to run hard water nutes because my tap water is so bad .8 ec lol. Ended up with 6 onions decent, my second came in at 17 onions and very good. Just had to make a few adjustments and now I can't wait to start indoor again in a couple months to employ all that I learned from second grow especially canopy management. don't get down on yourself OP just learn as much as you can and move on

I have heard above 150 PPM or .3EC need RO water unless you have water analysis, which costs more than RO unit.

That is your goal in coco to multi feed to get the benefits of hydro. You are definitely learning a lot with your first grow but I guarantee your second grow will be much better if you follow some of the guidelines in this thread. Good luck brother.
yes that's all planned for the 2nd time thx

they take about 40-48 hours to feel ligt again, 2 feeds per day is deadly, maybe that works with smaller pots but surely not with mine :(

I used gh hard water nutes and it worked but I know I can do better. I plan on running R/O and mixing it with my tap for @ 200 ppm as my water is high in cal/mag so I should be able to run a normal nute schedule this time. Last time I was fighting cal/mag issues causing a little lock out at times so I was running very low nutes and flushing a lot and it worked for the most part. Trying to run with little to no run-off this time.

little update

They seem to start to look good again, after reading 50x your replies i decided to completely change my watering frequency.
In stead of watering every 2 days 2 Liter per plant i switched to twice per day, but without changing the amount.
Now they get fed twice per day but only 0.5 Liter at once with no runoff and they seem to like it.
Thinking of going to 3x per day starting tomorrow as i'm @ day 61 of 70 days seeds, i did start late with the bloom nuts si i suppose the 10 will be 11 or even 12.

I'm also gonna order new pots soon for next run, hesitating between smart pots or those sort of tissue bags, what do you think would be best..?
For the size i think to go with 2 Gallon, which is half of what i've got now, seems right..?

I would also thank all you guys for the help and time to read/help out, much appreciated

Yes for than plant size 5-10L would have been preferable.

Run off is not entirely accurate. The reading will vary on the amount. What is more important from my view is to apply a pH stable nutrient solution often enough to suit the needs of the plant.

Odd that advice from Plagron re: starting EC, but if that is what they recommend for their line I would continue.
