Do you guys have good growth with HLG 288 QB 1st Gen I had a triple board set up in my veg 4x4x72 tent running them with mean well 320 watt I dim them but do wonder if they are to bright? I have also had magnuseum issues which had never happened before plus they just don't seem as healthy as the v2 boards.... I just switched the the V1 boards out of a couple spider farmer LEDs and they look much better after just a few days

Take one tbls of Epsom salt per gallon of water I am one of those guys that doesn't like the cal/mag combo typically it also has some nitrogen when the ladies really only need magnesium but you will see improvement rather quickly

A growbro said it may be nitrogen lockout. I give the flowering plants very little N. Like 1 ml per gallon. Maybe I should bump it up or is cal mag the reason the N is fucked up?

I suspect your calmag also has nitrogen you might check the label bro when the girls are unhappy they cannot utilize all the nutes give just Epsom salt a try it's pure magnuseum go to Walgreens or Walmart buy bag for a couple bucks once they get healthy they will start eating a well rounded diet they will turn around quickly

First major magnuseum issues I had were caused from my soil being to cold cloth planters sitting on floor man chasing those defencies around about made me quit LEDs well it actually did for another year I put my CMH lights in and poof problem solved I kept listening and learning about leaf temps etc. being much cooler with LEDs and once I turned the heat up with LEDs success I am a believer in using a VPD chart sure you can grow with low humidity but when it's perfect it's magical lol

Looks like your plants are cannabalizing. More like N deficiency to me, but I could be wrong. Too much light intensity will do that too. Overwatering too. Are you letting them dry out good? I was having problems with those strips, seeing the same thing. I went back and added my COBs and it cleared up.

I have the intake fans connected to the rainbird @82 max temp. They only turn on @ 82.
The exhaust runs all during light hours. @ night I have it set to turn off every half hour. This keeps the temp up @ night. And the rh. Thats why I see the jumpsCapture+_2022-03-19-21-12-12.png

I used to leave my exhaust and circulation fans on 24/7 to get rid of the humidity increase during lights out now the fans are all controlled by sensors and meters and I have a dehumidifier to take care of the "night sweats" lol you should have a look at a dehumidifier they have totally stablized my rooms during late flower I set it at 30-40% girls reward you with more resins and moldy buds are no more

I want it @50%... During flower. I need to add a fan for circulation in the tent to avoid the rot. I haven't had pm at thia spot. I gor it once from a shared exhaust. With a dryer vent. It didnt have a backflow valve on there and fucked me. I had my best run right before that too. I'm thinking the higher humidity from the shared vent was good , until it wasn't anymore. A little is good

I couldn't have grown without a dehumidifier. I grew way too much my last run and caught PM and ruined 1/2 of the crop. I depended on the crop to get me through the winter and I'm fucked now. Outta weed and $$$. I've been forced to shut down now because I'm losing my home.
