Thanks for the advice SpaceCowboy72 I really appreciate it I'll try a bowl of water. The light is 30cm from the plants and yes I'm running 18/6. Would I have been better to wait for 4-6 nodes before topping ? Unfortunately my pH is at 7.5 at the moment I know it should be around 6 I just don't have any way to adjust. You reference DLI and VPD can you briefly explain what these are and how they effect my grow.?It may be a little stressed from topping on the earlier side and stalled a bit.
As far as tricks for more humidity, put a wet towel or bowl of water on the floor by your intake fan.
What’s the distance from light to plants? It looks like it may be a little close, especially because you said you didn’t have a dimmer and If your on an 18/6 schedule your DLI is probably too high and we already know your humidity is too low throwing the VPD off as well. Also what’s the ph of your feed?
Thanks mate appreciate the pointers I'll be adjusting the heat today with a stronger watt bulb for the heat lamp. I've put a bucket of water next to the intake looks like humidity is around 60% this morning. My lemon juice isn't acidic enough I'll have to just get pH down solution.Yes, your lights are way too close 30cm on that light would be well over 1000 ppfd and your in early veg and only need 4-500 ppfd
DLI = daily light interval and yes your way over at that height and 18/6
The general consensus is to top when the plant has 5 nodes but that’s too late and if you can dial your light, temp and humidity in you should see an improvement.
Yes you can use citric acid as a ph down.
Cheers.I'm no one to give advice but good luck and patience have a good day
Hey SpaceCowboy72 I've measured the light using a metre set for LED full spectrum and this is what I got holding the metre over each plant with the light at 30cm..It may be a little stressed from topping on the earlier side and stalled a bit.

I wish it was..It is Perfect right where it is! I was under the impression your light was more powerful I thought it was a spider farmer se 3000
Cheers for the tips I'll have perlite in the cloth pots do you think I should transplant now or wait till I see improvement.? I will back the watering off to every 3 days should I use plain water for the next couple of feeds to try flush away some of the unused nutrients.?These plants are drowning. Your medium is not optimal, needs more drainage. They do not need food. The plants need a proper wet/dry cycle. That will be difficult in your current medium. You have built up a lot of unused nutrients in the soil, the plants are locked out and frying. Raise your light way up and turn it down low. Repotting in a fresh, better draining medium and proper watering/feeding could save them.
