Hello everyone,
the reason I started this thread is for the other members of the forum to find for future reference but also to try and explore a few explanations behind plant melting.
My situation was that plants are not of the best of health but were not melting. Now I have sudden melting of Monte Carlo and some Stayrogen Repens. I do understand that melting is directly related to insufficient CO2 or bad distribution. However, even though people having such problems might deny that their CO2 is low or distribution is bad, I am sure that I have no such problems! I ensured that this wouldn't be a problem and if it was a problem I don't think that the plants would have survived for a month before showing such signs.
None the less, apart from low CO2 and/or bad circulation, I would like you to consider 2 other options that people in this forum might not have encountered:
1. Too little light: Its always the case where someone gets excited and has bright lights. This drives the plants to fast growth and with not enough CO2 the plants melt. Done it loads of times
2. High temperature: During the summertime when the temps are on a high the plants might suffer if they are exposed to high temps above a certain point. I am currently battling with heat around 29 degrees Celsius.
So is there a chance that the above might be added to the list (of low CO2 and bad distribution) of reasons that cause plants to melt?
Thanks
