Hello Growers !
I have decided to switch from my 400wMH set up with cool tube to a SF4000 LED...I have a 3.2 x 3.2 feet tent.
I have started this grow under the MH bulb then switched the the SF4000 last night...first time growing with LED so I may have made a few mistakes.
I have a 6" clip fan to move air , humidifier keeping humidity at 50 to 60%. Using an AC infinity 6" fan extractor blowing the hot air in to the room where the tent is. I keep the room's window always a bit open so fresh and cold air can get into the room.
My plants are about a week old, I've set the lamp at about 24" from plants and tuned it on at 100% power...way too much uh ?
First issue I started to see was hot temp in the tent...like going up to 85F/29.5C....I solved it adjusting a bit the air extraction and also dimmed the light to 60%.
One of the plants started to show some white spots on one of the leafs...it looked like a spider mites signs so I have cleaned the leaves with End All Safer Brand. I did it once while under the MH bulb and once last night under the LED ( which was at 100% for maybe 8 to 10 hrs until I dimmed it ).
I noticed that one leaf has like a dried out edge and the leaves are drooping....on the other 3 plants I did not see this so I am wondering if this could have been the result of too much light + the product I used for what I think are parasites ?
What do you think may have happened ? If it was too much light I should have seen similar effects o n the other plants too but they seem to do fine ?
thanks !
