Yeah i did that yesterday after reading multiple threads on roots, But i thought leaving them exposed would give them more oxygen, but it tends to dry them up really quick.
I have added some nutes after flushing the plants out for about 12 hours with normal watering intervals of every 5 - 6 hours. Which was yesterday.
Today i checked my TDS and it has fallen by 50ppm and the ph went from 5.6 to 6.4, I think thats normal isnt it? plants are taking up the nutes and i have read everywhere and all the journals the PH always rises when the plants are ok? i think correct me if im wrong.
I also forgot to mention some days my temp reached about 89 - 92 f and the RH dropped to like 25 - 35 percent, and after those days the plants growht started slowing down and the leaves started canoeing and curving upwards just abit, but now all the new growht is nice and green and looks healthy, they seem to be getting on track.
I have lowered my temp now and increased my RH from 40percent to 50 - 55 percent, i read that when the temps go above 80f and rh below 40 the plants start to transpire and take up mroe nutes and water so i had my ppm very low so it wouldnt burn the plants. Would it be a good idea to increase my concentration abit now that i have lowered my temps and increased my RH?
Also does yellowing from the top of the plant mean its nute burn? Like you mean the new growth is yellow? I have read so much on nute burn and i forgot
its so confusing, i thought when the leaves yellow from the middle to the outside that was nute burn.
Thankyou all for your replies.
