Drooping plants

[OrganicPanda]

This is week 4 after my first feed with fox farm big bloom0-0.5-0.7. 1 week prior to this I fed with emulsified fish 5-1-1. In between these feeds I’ve added 1 65w plant light and an led light panel claiming 1500 par at 12 inches (light is 20 inches away) I also have 2 :50 par lights and one 16 par all at 20 inches. Temp has been between 70 and 80 never under 70 during the day cycle. About 65 at night. I had a slip where my soil became 79 degrees but quickly corrected and brought back to 65-69 degrees. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Container size is leaving the door open for problems. I'd get them into some 1 gal containers so you can water more efficiently. Then just place the pots in the tote there. They need some air flow as well. A couple small PC fans will do, or a 4-6" oscillating fan blowing back & forth to help strengthen the stems.

I have a Honeywell fan blowing into the tent and night and partially during the day. Is that adequate? I also read Miracle grow can be the issue? I was struggling to locate fox farm but found it today. Would transplanting them into fox farm soil be recommended? Or would it be better to kill of the damaged plant and focus on my fresh bloom and healthy one?

My ph seems okay

ph looks high to me. I don’t grow in coco but I believe that’s on the high end of even that “okay” scale.

small for the age.... id say not enough light.

I believe you are totally right I went out and acquired some distilled water and flushed the plants I believe the plants seem to have perked up since being given a better quality water

Can you elaborate? If I’m pushing over 1000 par in one light( I have a total of 4 bulbs and two panel light how is it not getting enough? If they aren’t turning yellow but staying a deep green wouldn’t the issue be water or nute related?

If it is in fact light can you recommend a solution or a number of lights that should correct the lacking of light?

What light are you running? And i mean specific brand and model not "10,000w LED"

The panel lights don’t have a brand they are from Amazon they are 25w full spectrum led claiming 1500 par at 10-12 inches. The lights seem bright but nowhere near 1500 par I’m assuming somewhere in the low hundreds maybe.(EDIT) I’m also running a 65w plant light

Not a large one no. I was a medical patient in Colorado and unfortunately I was required to move to a state that is very difficult to obtain a card in.

Very small for 4 weeks. They need more light. I can get 1 ft plants in a month with just T5's.

Id hop over to the LED section and look around for good cheap boards.... I still run the tried and true HPS, LED isnt for me yet.

Is there a reason with led being as advanced (I could be misinformed) you choose the “obsolete path” I’m not saying I think they are not quality just going off of what I’ve been told.

Yeh , get yaself a better light a decent led or if on a budget a dimable 600w hps . Hps cost ya more in the long run though

I am ordering a 600 watt led panel from Amazon with a switch for bloom and flowering would that be adequate? Along with 2 30 watt led bulbs

Define "600 watt". Probably actually a 60-100w panel.

It may be. the brand is parfactworks after reading multiple reviews I feel the brand is realistic with its lighting info. It’s actually the ra1000 with a par value of 993 par at 12 inches.
