Ok. So should i turn the percentage up on my light? Or move the light closer to the plants to increase leaf temp? I just put new water in my res. And its cold. But it should adjust by tomorrow. Before i changed it though it was around 74 or 75°. But they started doing really good with those temps. Then my res got all out of whack. They were using nutes because my PPM started to go down. Even after 3 weeks

I don't have a way of making the water warmer now.

When i checked them earlier the temp in the tent was 77. Leaf temps were like 68-69. Probably mostly due to my new cold res water. Too cold probably. But even before the res change the temps were the same type of way. Except for my res temp was almost 75. A least thats what my ec meter says. So how come my leaf temps don't go over that temp?

I just use a submersible aquarium heater. Cheap and easy.

You have lower humidity? That will increase transpiration and in turn cause evaporative cooling... not a bad thing within reason. But root and air temps should do the trick to bring them up.

Have to run out but I use a lux app to get a rough guide for height. Use height to get even coverage and the power input for intensity. Back in about 30.

The 30 inch mark is right where you should be. 30-38 inches is the accepted standard for a 600w LED. You have to remember that those LEDs are putting out a lot of light that we cant see. The plants can. Remember what i said aboit newer growers always wanting to do more, to so SOMETHING with the plants? Just makes sure youre giving them what they want and need and not what you "feel" they should be getting. This is exactly why so many new growers over water their new plants to death. Everything looks good bud, just let them do their thang.

Ok. So in saying that....it seemed like when i had my light at 40% they really took off. So like younsaid. I wanted to do more. So i trimmed them and turned the light up. Now it makes me want to turn it back down and mellow them back out.

First thing you do when you see issues is turn the light down since that is what drives the plant. By reducing you slow the progression of the problem. This is why ppl who grow under low light rarely see as many issues and the plants seem so forgiving

That's why we don't grow with florescent? Speaking of which
I have 2 plants under my bed. They are getting their 3rd node and they are under t5s to start them. Can i put them under this light instead?
