Thank you so much for the help. I’ve done some research and I think it is indeed a ph issue. I’m fighting the urge to start feeding and flushing.. lol.. I’m gonna let it dry up a bit then give it a good watering at 6.5.. see how it responds to that.
Oh cool. I didn’t even know About that product. I’m gonna buy some regardless..
I find this very hard to believe. Never had a leaf change to yellow, purple or whatever then change back to green.
I have finished one grow with the same HLG light as you and I think I may have bleached/ burned them a little. Were you on 100% power at 20", then 30" in veg? How high were you in flower? I ran out of room and had about 18"-22" over the canopy in flower at 100%, got some fox tailing and canoeing leaves. Thanks in advance for any tips you could share.
true. damage from lightburn induces bleaching and destroyed phytochrome is not going to heal
where does this constant fear on lightburn in this forum stem from? outside the sun is much stronger (and cannabis can take all of it and then some more) than your fancy indoor lights... just to get an impression take your mobile to your canopy and measure lumen intensity. Over 125 000 lux begins the danger....

Thanks, my tallest colas were about 18" from the light at 100% power in flower and showed some foxtailing and the leaves were a little crispy looking.. I'm buying a kill o watt meter for my next grow so I'll know the wattage at the different dimmer settings. Have fun in flower stage, the light has great penetration and should give you a nice yield.Hey so this is my first rip with the HLGs and I switch to flower on Monday so I don't have any experience yet with flower. But for veg when I finally realized it was the light stunting and bleaching them, I raised the lights to 30 inches and turned em way down.
If the screw turned all the way down is 50%, then I'm at like 70%. I will slowly turn it up for flower.
After some research this seems to be the most consistent info I've found:
The Ultimate Horticulture Lighting Group HLG 550 V2 Review
Are you looking for a grow light that has high-efficient white light quantum boards with a great canopy penetration, as well as, a grow light that is best and ideal for your plants from seedling to harvest? Well, your search is finally over!
It says/ quote: It has a MOUNTING HEIGHT of 36” for veg and 24” for flower
And that's for 100% power^
When the HLGs started frying my girls was around 20 inches at full power.
They healed remarkably quickly after raising and turning em down a bit. Hope this helps somewhat!
How's it going, plants still healthy?

Going decent, running into a bit of trouble which I just posted about in this sub thread dealing with poor drainage in my pots. I'm thinking I went too big and the LEDs aren't putting off enough heat to dry such a large pot. So a combination of a lot of things, trying to figure out how to improve my drainage and any damage the poor drainage has done to the roots thus far. Hope your girls are doing well right now!
Absolutely, something I completely overlooked/ didn't realize initially
well.. they are getting massive, ill attach pics soon. they all seem to still have the yellowing.. New growth is looking much better. they are on their 3rd week of budding now.. very exciting... my canopy is completely full!
im still not sure of what the problem was/is exactly.. I just added essential minerals and beefed up the feedings a bit.. I think the buds are growing nicely.. not sure ..first time growing this strain ..it’s a learning process that’s for sure .
