Slow growth

[Ededed]

Hey all i am using a small aerophonic setup with one plant im using canna classic a+b at 5ml per litre my ph is about 6.5-7.0 but the growth rate is slow

Need more info than that bro... plants always gona grow slow with no air or lights?????????????......need tell us all about ya setup, lights air, temps all these controll growth more than the actuall system u use i find. and gota put up the pics

at first glance your ph seems a bit high, and it could be winter slowing down the growth - what's the air temps like?

My temps r bout 28-30 degrees lights on not sure at nite cause im sleepin but its in my cloest so it wouldnt get to cold its just an aerogarden

with extra set of there lights. Iv just put an airstone in and been fiddling with it over the week end and growth has been improving

Well... drop the pH down a point (5.5 - 6.0 is healthier for hydro systems... 6.5 - 7.0 would be okay if in soil) and .... darn can't access canna aus to check atm... but I think you can drop the nutrient strength back a tad too. The temps can come down 5-7C too, but it isn't essential so long as you have moving air... ummm do you have a fan in the cupboard with the Aerogarden or any extraction to provide fresh air?

 

One other question... how old are the lamps? They only have an effective life of six months... after that you can expect to see plant vigour suffering, slow vegetative growth, weak flowering and poor fruit set.

Yeah i hav a fan and i leave the door open a bit or it would get to

hot in there. The lights r probly 3 months mayb a bit more

The slow growth is from the inferior lighting imo (fluros = slow growth). 'aerogardens' might possibly have a use for clones but for growing plants they are pretty much useless. Forget decent buds completely.

 

 

Peace MongyMan

Yeah no shit i hav seen plants grow faster with the same

sort of lighting

[pisspotgrower]

Yer im sure ya seen it with the same lighting "fluro tube" but aero garden tube like a foot long n 20 watts no were near enough to even veg a good plant. U may have seen em grow fast plants but none of em had a decent bud on it.

[MongyMan]

No worries then...good luck with it all...
