Running a coot’s mix under Progrowtech LED fixtures. Nothing but stressed plants and burnt tips over the 9 months I’ve been using them. Can’t run the fixtures anywhere near peak power and canopy distance without issues. Can’t even run the lights at low power, 3 feet from canopy without the plants getting pissy. Recently came across a fellow who had similar issues and it turned out his soil was imbalanced with too high levels of sodium. Is anyone finding living soil and LED’s don’t get along very well? My outdoor plants thrived in the same soil mix this summer.
I also recall a buddy of mine saying that he had to dial his DE1000 Gavita’s down to 600/750 when running coot’s mix. Is this mix known to be hot/nutrient packed to the point of needing to dial back lighting a bit?
Probably going to run a soil sample of my 2 4x8 beds and my pile outside to see what the deal is. Anyone have any insight? I’m ready to scrap the lights, my pile of soil, or both at this point.
