Right. I have too much wattage so I turn the lights down.i dont think thats it i have 600 watts in my 4x4 and had no problems
even if u had too much wattage u could turn the light down

how tall is your tallest plantRight. I have too much wattage so I turn the lights down.
haha yes, tonight was chicken strips from wendy’s - closest to me and open.,damn bro no dairy gueen near
I can't measure now. They're asleep. I have about 18-20 inches between the light and the top of the plant.how tall is your tallest plant
and did you top
Def turned somewhere! Lol bout WednesdayMan this thread got weird. I blame the drugs
I love that folks at the farm are so willing to help. That can also be a bit of a curse for the new grower.
I personally backed off because I am not a soil grower at all. I’m well acquainted with the plant but soil is just plain different. Sure I absolutely have ideas on what to do but without direct experience I’m just another voice with ideas and you already have that in spades.
Please don’t take that as me leaving in a huff. If others do that’s on them. You can’t possibly take everyone’s advice here because a lot is a direct contradiction!
Don’t forget about the middle one that is doing ok. Hopefully with what you are learning that one can finish off nicely.
In terms of led intensity vs height, either will work. Light intensity measured in ppfd follows the inverse square function in that ppfd drops squared for every unit of measure you back them off. So from a ppfd standpoint the choice to turn the dial or shorten rope comes down to heat. If you need more heat you raise lights. If not turn the knob. The only caveat is that you will get better more even coverage from higher wattage hung higher due to geometry.
It sure did and I don't know why. Many threads have divergent opinions and no one flounces.Man this thread got weird. I blame the drugs
They are indeed. This is a wonderful resource. There was a lot of information presented and the situation is complicated.I love that folks at the farm are so willing to help. That can also be a bit of a curse for the new grower.
No worries. It was odd that I was accused of not following anyone's advice while I was following yours about the VPD and I also followed @GNick55's about the light intensity. At the top of the first page, he said to reduce the light intensity--and I did so.I personally backed off because I am not a soil grower at all.

That one has a story of it's own. It had a terrible beginning, but at some point it began to thrive. It probably will finish after the others, so when they're harvested, I'll be able to give it better care.Don’t forget about the middle one that is doing ok.

I was familiar with the inverse square rule long before I started growing under lights. I'm seriously considering using just one light for the next grow. That's what ViparSpectra recommends for that light model in that size of tent. I'm sure there was light stress.In terms of led intensity vs height, either will work.

Two things caused the flounce, I think: There was the Tuesday argument about potassium deficiency or excess that got two people angry. About that time, I also let it be known that I'm female. It feels like the anger from the disagreement was eventually turned toward me, even though I wasn't involved in the argument.Def turned somewhere! Lol bout Wednesday
The problem is that these things are interrelated. Changing one thing impacts the others. Doing things in the right order at the right times matters both diagnostically and to return the plant to health.There were multiple problems: The light intensity, the VPD, the soil, the nutrients, the watering, etc. For those problems, there can't be only one solution.
No problem. Thanks.I did my best to steer clear of the arguing part. I stated what I thought to be the problem based on observation, reference, and experience which led to multiple people talking down and making negative comments. I never tried to come off as being from a place of higher knowledge. I hope you were able to get more out of this than I was and I wish you the best in finishing this up and on your future grows!
Definitely! I see how some folks change several things at once and thus may never know what change caused what effect. I try not to do that.The problem is that these things are interrelated.

I have my lights 10 cm away, and with LEDs they don't burn.I do not see that as light burn or Calcium def. The fox farms nut line up has something to do with this. I have never looked at that brand but I have seen people multiple times with problems such as yours using that line. What are you feed of each bottle and how often?
My thinking is that the health of the plant affects how much light (or nutrients or water) the plant can use. We had more than one issue here. I'm pretty sure the two lights in the tent I'm using is more light than the plants can use.I have my lights 10 cm away, and with LEDs they don't burn.
Here is why I stay in my lane on feeding and PHing soil based grows:Definitely! I see how some folks change several things at once and thus may never know what change caused what effect. I try not to do that.
I think lowering the light level and adjusting the VPD were two positive steps. I'll also use @GNick55's feeding recommendation. I'm still pondering the low soil pH.
The plants wake up in an hour. I take a picture then and post it.
Hopefully you see something approaching this as the day goes on.The plants wake up in an hour. I take a picture then and post it.
It’s a real thing.… and I never understand what it is about cannabis growing forums that gets everyone so pissed off.
