raise the light maybe, and raise the humidity to 70 percent for the smaller plants. maybe give them4 hours of dark if on 24 hours light.

 

[HashZeppelin]

also nutrients are possibly a bit high for that size. maybe give them a flush too.

Thanks. I am going to run straight water thru it for a day and see what I can come up with. I think my ppm may be too high as you mentioned.

Raise the light? The problem is you're trying to grow under LED. They throw about ten inches of usable light, at best. You might as well be using a florescent shop light. Good luck trying to fix anything until you get them some real light they can use. Sorry to be honest.

 

[NeWcS]

I see no honesty here. You obviously have never used LED's. They work fine for my small grows.

Nope, never would spend my money on an untested product. Even it's own manufacturers admit the technology has a long way to go. Also, if it's from seed, remember that they're not all winners. A weakling plant will always be a weakling plant. It's hard to put effort into something just to have to toss it, but you'd be better off finding a healthy plant to replace it. A month old plant that's dwarfed by a lighter is just wasting your time and money. Sorry, bro.

I agree its a waste and thats why I scrapped this grow and went and got some clones today,

Word. Best of luck on your new venture.

I don`t know if your right NeEcS. I have never grown or even seen a LED grow light. But I recently purchased a new head lamp for work, and it`s LED. 1000 lumens from a single LED. It`s CRAZY Bright. You can get eye damage if you looked at it. Just saying...........

 

[NeWcS]

Thats pretty funny, Good job

 

[HashZeppelin]

raising the light will cause it to stretch to the light.

LED is lame anyways. get some hps.
