Alright after a successful build and alot of error along the way I am out of solutions for the problem I am experiencing could really use some input as it has became very frustrating.
I am experiencing light burn with every batch I try to get rooting into my.rockwool cubes before introducing into a top feed 5gallon bucket drip recirculating system using 6" net pots and black lava rock
Room 12x12' 8 feet high
6x1000w MH hortilux blue bulbs
18/6 light schedule
Blue ox Co2 generator with grozone controller
Drieaz 1200 dehumidifier
Can100 with 10" fan
3 fan keeprite chiller with solenoid + ECT
bluelab guardian meter
55gallon barrel with stainless steel immersion coil as water chiller
Carbon filter on city water with very low ppm and no chloramine( I let water sit aswell just in case to let evaporate out of Barrell prior to using)
So receiving my clones in peat pucks and transplanting into rockwool cubes . Soak rockwool for a few hours at 5.5ph with a ppm of 360 using gh nutrients 1/1/1 ratio adding pottasium silicate first then my micro,grow,bloom, cal mag and advanced nutrients voodoo juice for a root developer.
I am currently running hortilix blue MH 1000W and keep the babies a fair bit out of the direct light and introduce it over about a 5 day period until directly underneath 1000w to reduce the shock as they were previously underneath t5s
Room temp never above 80 farenheight
Water temp 65
Humidity between 70-75% for early vegative stage
C02 at 400ppm propane generated
Nutrient ppm in rockwool 360ppm
Continue future feeding at ph 6.1 range
I have attached a photo.below of the signs I am experiencing running nukem strain in first week.after introduced into grodan rockwool.cubes.
I have danced around thinking it is a.nutrient defincie or over feeding and have tried feed feed water and nothing seems to help. I strongly believe it is not and that it is simply light burn from trying to start my veg under these powerful 1000w bulbs. I really need input before I do anything drastic and either replace all my bulbs or change to 600watt ballasts or simply rip everything out and go to soil as this is my first time trying hydroponics.
Hope to get some input here thanks again.
