growing light

[mack215]

Hey guys my plants are little but are growing bud leaves,do I put it in veg plus bloom or one of the other? Cause I don’t want to fuck it up

Blue and red LED technology is about 15 years old buddy.

Imo you should use both veg and bloom together the whole time but then my LED wasn’t used to light the inside of Noah’s Ark.

Hey that's a vintage piece of technology. Show some respect.

I did show respect, I quoted where it’s earliest usage was found!

Mmm yes some old LED tech.

For reference this is some newer LED technology that doesn’t glow red/blue/blurple.

 

[Weedoguido]

I'll let others with more LED experience answer more on that. But for now, i would clean all the dead leafs off the soil surface and get rid of all that grassy looking stuff growing in the container on the right and pluck out that little thing growing in the left container. Maybe just me, but I like to keep a clean container.

For what size tent?

the light I’ve shown above (mine) is 300w of actual LED power good enough to flower a 3ft x 3ft floor space at approx 18” above the canopy.

Averaging approx 15oz per harvest.

I got what I could afford at the time thsts y I’m here

Ok it may just about be enough power for 2x2 but it’s a very poor light.

For your 2x2 ideally you should have purchased something along the lines of a 150w QB or bar style LED with the best being between 200-300w for that space.

Honestly you should have waited and researched more about the lighting you were thinking of.

Ah well that’s the past.

What soil?
What nutrients?
How high is your light?

Your plants are already developing issues with the “spotting” as others have mentioned clean up dead leaves, anything that’s growing that shouldn’t be in your soil.

keep your plants short and stocky.

use LST TOPPING FIMMING SUPERCROPPING or a screen to keep them controlled to where you need them.

are you feeding now with the fox farm nutrient bottles?

How big are your pots?

how old are the plants?

You may be using nutrients and don’t need to yet.

Is your soil Ocean Forest or Happy Frog?

 

[xtsho]

Turn both switches on.

Pull the plants out of the tent and clean all the dirt off the floor.

Stop over watering them.

Good luck

 

[Bajamaja]

The plants will grow just fine under blurples just as they do under HPS
