Led light and foxtailing

[The1098]

ok I’m not new to growing but new to leds I’m in week 7 of flower and my plant is foxtailing all it’s just one plant it’s about 5ft tall it’s a closet grow I’m using soil and using canna boost for my nutes it’s a bag seed so could the strain possibly just grow like this?

 

[coreywebster]

That is quiet extreme. Is the light heavy in blue or is it my eyes? What light you using?

I have heard it said that foxtailing is more common with LED and seen some evidence of it but with my own grows I have not seen it personally.

 

[The1098]

It’s a 300w GLE LED and I have been running it in full spec with both switches should I just go to just bloom which seems heavy red and a few blue and a uv or will I stress the plant

buy a better light

 

[coreywebster]

I wish vertical was wrong for your sake The1098, but that's the sad truth.

your probably right...but could it be perhaps he never switched too bloom nutes soon enough? I have seen that happen if you use bloom too late...

Healthy plants use wat healthy plants need >>> canna is the same nutes for veg & flower.
Also house & garden is the same nutes for veg & flower only adding a PK boost during mid flowering.

The above light is underpowered & only good for growing vegetables.

Take a pic of the big fan leaves looks like it could be to much nitrogen.

Sad truth. Hit up the led section and see what people are using. That's a blurple and there's a reason why it's so cheap.

My nutes are not for veg

This is from about a week or so ago

 

[Ryante55]

This is from about a week or so ago

What did you feed in the week since then? I would say they were fed to much nitrogen. It's not from the light

I feed them twice a week with low doses and at this point I should just go water?

Just drop whatever is nitrogen heavy you can't fix it now they won't fatten up

That's normal for LED. (turning this into a 30 page thread)

This could well be an issue of intensity. Photo of grow space look kinda dark. Do you have any idea of par readings at cannopy? The dark green leaves can be nitrogen related but also light related, blurple tend to grow darker leaves.

So have you had this happen in your experience did it hurt your yield any

No idea on par readings and the canopy is definitely not even could this cause it and could I use just the bloom switch to help them thickn up or is it to late

 

[Rocket Soul]

Is this your first run with this light? The buds look underdeveloped, like they may need more light. These blurple tend to not produce very well. But kudos on frosty, if this is for personal use i bet it smokes well. Not sure of bloom switch, try and see?

invest in LUX meter.....not expensive
