Hello all, this plant has gone through hell. She was the only plant / clone of my SLH that survived a mite infestation. I used spinosad and insecticide soap every 2-3 days in a rotation. I believe I am free of them but will need to keep this plant in veg and plan to continue spray once a week maybe.

Even before the mites this plant always seems to have issues with dying leaves. They get crinkly and then brown. My humidity is only at 35 and I am assuming this is the problem. I have a humidifier in my lung room now so hope this works.

Any suggestions? I really want to keep this plant even if only until I can make S1s. I also have 3 clones I cut from some of the new growth. The last photo is the top with new growth.

Sorry I should mention I am using Gaia Green top dress and water in Super B (kelp) and calmeg. I also PH the water to 5.5-6. She is in a 1 gal fabric so I water once every 2 days.

Sorry this should have been posted in grow talk not something for the show.

I would increase your humidity to 70% and temp to the 80s if you can or the closest you can reach to those. Do you use the Photone app? It’s worth checking out to help dial in your ppfd/dli.

Can you test your runoff EC and pH? And what’s your EC going in? If we make sure nothing is up in the rootzone while you get your environment dialed you’ll be most of the way there. If she doesn’t recover in nice weather then I suggst saying your goodbyes.

Can you fit the humidifier in the grow space? My lungroom is colder than my growspace so RH is always higher there. Your walls will be dripping and moulding before the growroom gets up to 70%.

I can get the humidifier inside the tent. PaR was about 550 at the top of the plant. I don’t have EC meter but will check PH runoff.

Hey everyone, quick update. I took a bunch of clones. I also reversed one of the dying plants and have another in my flower tent to try make some R1s
