Hello RIU -
As you all know I am a DWC'er but thought I'd try my luck with LEDs. Went from 400w MH in veg to 600w LED full spectrum Flower. Its been a month and all I am doing is pulling bad leaves off. Girls are stunted too. Maintaining 7.0 ph with AN nutes/ph perfect. Adding some magnesium because of the LED (I'm told plants hog magnesium under led???)

These girls were started in Miracle grow but transplanted to ProMix. Fed every other week with just plain water on the non feed weeks.

Please help determine where I am going wrong. Is the 600w led not intense enough, is it the miracle grow I started with? I'm at my wits end. Is there any help for these girls or should I just throw them out and start over? Never had these issues in dwc. Appreciate any help from experienced growers. Serious responders only please. I feel bad enough already....

i'd say you're burning the living shit out of them with nutrients. WHY THE HELL DO PEOPLE USE FUCKING MIRACLE GROW?? do yourself a favor and take the money you were spending on weed and buy some good fucking soil and nutrients, and make it worth growing your own weed that is good rather that blowing money. I mean seriously do you go and do your job with the shittiest tools available AND do it half assed and expect it to come out good? hell no! I hope i'm making my point.

if that's not the problem... maybe you're bleaching them with the led to close... it is possible with led. Soil should be Ph 6.5 not 7.0

shluby, specifically what is wrong with miracle grow? its fertilizer. it does work on my vegetable garden, why not on pot plants? to say its crap or half assed doesn't answer the question.

lol i dont need to see the link i already know!!! glad you got to read that though.... i shoulda posted a link for you. Better luck next time my friend. try blending your own soil mix rather than buying a premade one. then you can put in it what you like. A good base soil that i use is 3 parts sunshine #4, 1 part good absorbing coco (not chunky or finely ground, inbetween those consistancies), and 1 part worm castings. then i ammend with a couple things like dolomite lime to control Ph, oyster shell for a little extra available calcium, and kelp meal and rock dust for micronutes and trace minerals!!!!

I've only Fed twice since 6/12. The tent tends to get hot from the led if it's zipped so I keep it open during lights on. I'm thinking it's the miracle grow even though I transplanted to promix. Are they salvageable or no?

I was looking for constructive criticism as a 1st time Soil/LED'er. Not insults, thx. There is a learning process for everything. Don't assume I use sub par supplies/tools - my dwc would round your eyes out!!! You have a choice to offer some real help here or you could say nothing at all...

if i insulted you, then you took it too personally. not trying to insult anyone. sorry to come off so strong but i was trying to give you an analogy.

and dwc would not round my eyes because i prefer my herb grown in soil only. I'm sure it looks good and healthy though :)
