This too much light or something else?

SchwiftyGrower · Sep 26, 2022

Hey everyone! Wanted to check to see if this is a possible light burn or if it’s something else. Im new to LEDs, and I have them 18” above the plants. These are cheaper ones so there isn’t a dimmer on them, my SE3000 comes in next week.

I’ve only noticed this so far on one of the leaves and right now Im getting a PPFD reading or 219 above the plant.

Thanks for any advice and let me know if you need additional pictures

Not the typical spot for a sun burn. Can you a better picture? Are they bites? Any movement on the back of the leaf?

These black things were very very tiny and can’t tell if it’s bugs, but they kind of look like tiny scale suckers. Going to throw some DE on the plants directly just in case

I would cut that leaf and any that has bites off and get rid. They will grow back but easier to control that way.
