Did you start them under another light than led? I got the exact same reaction when I started the plants with cfl and changed to led. It's something with the spectrum, the only thing that helped was to add à couple of cfl ligths. The plants recovered right away.

What ratio of leds did you choose please? Looks like a lot of 660 there, i had too much 630 in mine I think (chose the same ratio as new magnum chromes use), I think the ratio used by grownorthern delivers the most impressive results of the apollo 10 model lights that I have seen. Im gonna order another with a diff spectrum and do a side by side grow before long but for the meantime im back to HPS.

sub'd! I plan on ordering an Apollo 4? for a small setup im planning on. I want to see how well they di. good luck on your grow!
 
Hello All! I am using the 120 degree lens, and I think the ratio is 660nm: 460nm:610nm:6000K=11:2:1:1

The plants have developed some yellow leaves, most curling up and twisting, then turning brown and almost falling off the stem. not sure what it is just yet, but maybe I do.. they may have been slightly under watered and then, slightly over watered? The temperature also had dropped down to about 67 degrees and started to kill the plants, the temperature was brought back to normal and now this is from today so hopefully they are now stress-free! Zero nutes have been used this is all straight PH'd water and FFOF soil only.

Day 38 of flowering! They do look good if I say so myself.. :D

Looks good, Miker!! did you figure out the problem with the leaves? Your plants look great. Can't wait to order my Apollo. I'll go for a similar ratio to yours.

Happy Halloween!
 
quick update..
the yellow leaves and "low yield" is from the transplant stress from day 1 and nute deficiency with the RO/pH'd water.
More lights are about to be on the way and a new batch about to start.. a few lessons learned, and new things to come!

Harvest is less than a week away, any yield guesses on these cola's? Also the BS500 is now up for sale, I don't believe there is even a remote comparison to the Apollo's!
