I completed a couple of long shifts in the garden. Changed the filters on my RO unit and wiped down all my lights and fans. Watered the flower room and foliared my moms with kelp and PowerSi to help combat the low humidity.

Up potted the next round of teens and took around 60-70 clones that are sitting in cups getting good and hydrated while the rockwool soaks.

Tomorrow I'm tearing down my seedling tent and giving it a good douche with Physan20. I'm also swapping out the LED and rehanging the T5s. Not really a fan of LEDs for seedlings and clones.

I'm struggling with an LED (Mars SP150) in my Kitchen Bay Window with a Kaffir Lime and an Avocado seedling, both are chlorotic. I fed them both some iron but meh so far. What do you see with clones/seedlings under LED?

Same thing. Yellow and necrotic. I tried upping RH and temps. No change.
I dont know if its just a poor spectrum - though its similar to HLGs 100 - or if its just too strong. I have it dimmed and I'm waiting on a lux meter in the mail now.

The established plants love the LEDs. Its just the seedlings and clones.

The Kaffir lime is a clone and the Avocado is a seedling.

I switched to led and had zero problems with my nutes.
Remind me again what nutes you using? The flora series?
Yeah I thought that could be the issue so the Avocado is in soil (Scott's Avocado/Citrus soil) the Kaffir Lime is in my Coco/Perlite Mix, same f'n issues. I'm not a fan. Although I'm currently vegging under a 480 W Hyphotonflux and all my veg plants are happy as a clam (coco/perlite). Beats the fuck outta me.

What EC you running? If you don’t know that, how many ml/gal or each per gallon. It’s usually not the nutes it’s the strength of nutes you’re using. Most likely under feeding

I can't find any fluorescent bulbs local anymore. I had to buy these led fixtures. This is all just regular 4' shop lights in my basement. I need to figure out something new for when I set a grow up again.
I'm really happy vegging under this

Although replacing my flower light is not going to be as easy. I've been looking at this:

I feed the lime from my Veg res (500 PPM) daily and the Avocado is in soil so it gets water and they both get some extra Fe every 3 months

I'm vegging my pot under LED with zero issue. I'm thinking it's this specific light.

Nope the tap takes it to 750 and the pot is fine. The Lime is showing N tox and I'm great at N toxing my cannabis.
That’s still pretty low for coco. Especially with the cation issue with coco at first. Mostly with the Ca.
i start cuts out at 1.1 ish ec for the first watering and go straight up from there the next watering. Final target 1.7ish

My pot is great! Healthy as ever, it's a lime and an avocado I'm struggling with one in soil and one in hydro. The only thing common is the light. I'm chopping my flower room this week so I'll move them upstairs under the LED I'm running in veg and see if there's any change.
