Grow Log/ More Problems

[groeatrepeat]

Well, after finaly realizing that my lights were too close to my plants, I decided to lift them.

Sadly... most plants were goners and I had to replant everything

On a positive note, things are going great except for the fact that I ran into some minor porblems which I can hopefuly prevent with early action.

I'm having some problems with my fatalii and Lemon drop peppers



My Fatalii's cotyledons are yellowing from the tips and withering away

Also, I know it's hard to tell from the pic, but the lower leaves have turned a little paler the last two days

Then, I also have an Aji Santa Cruz which is giving me some problems. Specifically, as the leaves grow they turn paler so that the plant ends up dark green at the top leaves and yellow at the bottom leaves

Then, one of my lemon drops has experienced the same thing as my fatalii and also looks a little less healthy than the one with healthy cotyledons.

The cotyledons will do that then fall off. It's normal. They are no longer needed.

What do you mean by "lights too close"? that sounds odd... you mean they produce too much heat? cause there's never too much light.

Yeah, too much heat is what I meant. I use High Output T5 bulbs which get hot. They used to be three inches from leaf tops and my plants had this ridiculous leaf curl where their leaves ended up looking like cylinders

Don't you use a fan? it helps preventing evil pathogens, hardens your plants AND keeps everything cool.

Would the top leafs staying green and the bottom leaves losing their color indicate that the plants aren't getting enough food?

I've noticed that my leaves curl up when the light was too close. I'm only using 4' floro's so there isn't too much heat, but the leaves opened back up about a day after I raised the lights.

Would the top leafs staying green and the bottom leaves losing their color indicate that the plants aren't getting enough food?

It could also be the opposite, too much water. I've had a few plants where the leaves turned half yellow, but came back to life after I stopped watering them so often.

What size fan do you reccomend? I'm convinced

I fertilize with half strength 8-7-6 every other day

I'll let them dry out to the point of wilting

Then, Ill flush out the soil in case its too much fert

Then, i'll fert if flushout doesnt work

Nore: already tried epsom spray

I use a regular osculating floor fan. I think it's like a ten incher.

How far away do you put it and how long per day?

I use a 12' Oscillating fan and run it 30 minutes twice a day...
