I water on the third day. 2 or 3 dry days. The package says 1000 watt LED. But after investigation I realized it's only 270 watt really watch MAX.
Sorry I thought I replied.
Close nodes...are usually a good think...but there's gonna be less node spacing the more light you have...send a pic of what u mean...let me grad my laptop brb
Also I have 300W actual draw from my LED lights and I use about 6 square feet.....that's about 50w per square foot. I keep my lamp about 18 inches away for most of veg except right at the beginning where I started at 3 feet and then lowered it an inch or two a day till I got it where it is today. Since I was new everyday I checked my plants to make sure there were no signs of light burn if there wasn't I lowered it an inch or two. I did that until one day I checked my plants and noticed some light bleaching at the tips of the leaves closet to the top (nearest the light) it was at that point I said, ahha...and raised it one inch. Since then my plants have been happy. I'm in flower now so I'm about 14 inches away with an eventual goal of letting the plants grow till they are 12 inches away and then gradually start raising the light with the plant.
Here are the pics. At this point I don't know what I'm doing. Everyone is giving a different answer
You look fine my guy...honestly first times r tough because we always want to be doing something...but often times the best thing we can do is nothing....I had to learn that the hard way....you're doing greagt
I realize you are getting a lot of answers but my suggestion is extremely easy to test and you have your answer within 24 hours. Raise your heat! Your VPD is way off. This is extremely common for new growers using LED’s. Your leaf temp is likely in the low 60’s even though your air temp is 71. I’m certain your room environment is causing this, not light burn. Test my theory easily, stick a heater in there and let it run and see if the plants perk up and start growing again. When your grow room is too cold your plants do not uptake water and nutrients at the correct rate and it causes all kinds of deficiencies and other issues. Google “cannabis vpd issues” and you will find a ton of info and pics that look like your plant. This is an easy fix and your plants will be off and growing again in no time. Good luck!
if the majority of your medium is coco, you need to water every day to runoff.
Thanks for your reply. I'll keep you posted in few days.
What he said
You can have your lights at 30", 22", or even 10", depending on how cool you can keep the plants, the strain, the humidity, and the amount of circulation. I'm above 80k lumens for most of the canopy, and have my array of qb132s as close as 10".
2,000 or 20,000? 2k isn't much at all, even for little starts.
wondering how u fight PM ? at this size plants rh 55-60 is best and safest, 70 good for clones but not 8 week veg , at this stage the should be drinking a lot no need for high humidity
