Thanks for the reply,Hey man, when this problem has been mentioned before i recall that the solution was to have the plant under the light anyway. It will be a short phase of adjusting to the light.
I would have Kept it under the lights and see two or three days later.
But you should await other opinions. I am not so experienced that I feel my advice qualifies as a stand alone
Too m much light for the plant to process so she droops to avoid.
the solution is to move the light further away alternately dim the light if you can..... or put some kind of shade netting over the plants, in between plant and light. until the plant feels comfortable with the amount of ppfd
Only been struggling since I've placed it under the vipar for 10 hours, before that it was doing fine. Even now, only 5 hours after removing it from the vipar closet is coming back to shape, so don't think it's overwatered. I only water every 3-4 days when I see the soil dry, and It's already in a 18/6 schedule-That plant is struggling for 2 months old. Looks over watered. 18/6 is easier on them than 24 hours veg. I couldn’t get 24 to work. It will adjust to your light, might take a couple days.
I'm kind of afraid to leave it there for longer because I already had another plant dying in the same conditions, but I'll try to place the place under the light for a few hours each day and increment those hours each day, that way it isnt that much of a shock.Ok then. You need to leave it in there longer than 10 hours, it will turn around.
Just so you know, that plant has been struggling for longer than the 10 hours it seen from your led.
The yellowing and brown on the bottom leaves, it’s hard to judge size from a picture, but it should be a lot bigger for 8 weeks.I'm kind of afraid to leave it there for longer because I already had another plant dying in the same conditions, but I'll try to place the place under the light for a few hours each day and increment those hours each day, that way it isnt that much of a shock.
Why do you say it's been struggling before?
Oh ye, you're right, that happened when I tried to change the light to the Vipar aswell, a month ago, I also created a topic on this forum regarding the issue. Since then the plant has been recovering, but since I've burned a few leaves from stress with the light, they never recovered from it and the growth was stunned for a few weeks.The yellowing and brown on the bottom leaves, it’s hard to judge size from a picture, but it should be a lot bigger for 8 weeks.
last but least, it just don’t look like it’s thriving, let alone happy. Cold roots?
Still think a root zone issue in its life, which is hard to overcome. On my way to work, I’m out.Oh ye, you're right, that happened when I tried to change the light to the Vipar aswell, a month ago, I also created a topic on this forum regarding the issue.

I have a heat mat below the pot, don't think the roots are cold since the air temps are fine aswell.

I had the same problem with an LED too bright too early on in development.... i was going to buy a shade netting a tie it over the canopy but instead,, i was blessed enough to have them out in the sun till they could cope a bit better with the intensity of the led light.The vipar is already at the max height I can place it at, above 3 feet over the canopy (100cm). I cannot dim it because it doesnt have a dimmer.
Can I place the vipar at an angle so it directs the light to the wall and let the plant only get the reflection? Or would I be better just buying some type of shading "paper" that you put on car windows or something until the plant adapts?
Thanks for the reply
Thank you very much.I had the same problem with an LED too bright too early on in development.... i was going to buy a shade netting a tie it over the canopy but instead,, i was blessed enough to have them out in the sun till they could cope a bit better with the intensity of the led light.
But they do have shade netting you can buy.. in hotter countries during mid summer when transplanting or planting out smaller plants the practice is to put them under shade netting for the same reason .. too much sun for a small plant..
Hope you find a solution.
I got the app but even though the PAR measurement is on the lower side for a seedling, it still stresses the plant. I'll just need to adjust very slowly and get the rythme of the plant.Any time you move a plant it will have to adjust, and I understand not wanting to lose her, so maybe get the light meter app so you can see how bright the light is. Then you can adjust it, I'd go with really low, like for a seedling, then gradually increase it.
Also I found the app to not be accurate enough, It's still very helpful but just as a general idea of the light intensityAny time you move a plant it will have to adjust, and I understand not wanting to lose her, so maybe get the light meter app so you can see how bright the light is.
