The operative word here is "shouldn't." Have you even tried? Raise the light as high as you can for fuck's sake
4k is making my plants look like crap
- Thread starter DaFreak
- Start date
My clone tent is 36" high, the plant was on the floor the light was cable tied to the roof bars, I'm estimating a space of 26/28" between the light and plant at 50% power.
It's a 1ltr air pot.

Do you see how high my LED boards are mounted? They don't have to nut hug your fucking plants and will only serve to fry the foliage
Yes, see the first sentence there? Where I say I have tried?The operative word here is "shouldn't." Have you even tried? Raise the light as high as you can for fuck's sake

You mounted the light at the highest available mounting point and reduced power to 50%, and the issue still occurs?
If the answer is yes then I'd be getting my money back from the vendor. Buy another light and for the love of god move the fuck on sir

Here’s the real problem. 18” sounds cooler

If you didn't change fertilizer or any other variable besides the light used then the light is your problem.
I'm interested in hearing the response from the manufacturer regarding your photos of the foliage heavily damaged by their light.

you should really give it a try with lower intensity.
it is of course hard to guess which ppfd you have in real, i would guess the manufactorer could give you a ballpark number beeing good for veg.
basically you should encounter good healthy growth at 250ppfd in veg, if they can take a 400, good, give it to them, but i never had vegging plants taking more so far.
i did used (older Cree CXB) 3500K Cobs in a 3x3 with a 240W driver btw, the classic growmau recommendation at that time.
there are always tons of factors in to the game, temp, salt stress, genetics, etc.
but if you say they do well under T5, i would guess its simply the intensity mostly.

This entire thread just seems fishy like we're not getting the full picture. OP needs to show a picture of your light including the badging that identifies the model or I'm done here. We can't help if you're withholding information or being untruthful. Word to your mother homie
Be done then, I don’t care. See ya.This entire thread just seems fishy like we're not getting the full picture.

light is actually 4K not 4500k forgot halfway through the thread
Mistake, but the thread clearly says 4K. I bought one of their 4vs in 4K for mother’s and some early veg.

You can post all of these messages, but you can't take a photo of your light? Total junk. If you were a piece of fruit you would not be worth the squeeze. Best of luck to you sir.
