View attachment 1176161

ok, they went from being under a 400w mh to dual 600w hps... should i turn one off? did i shock them? will everything be ok? will batman beat cat woman?

any help will be greatly appreciated.

looooooooooooookin like heat stress to me boyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy hows ure ventilation?

Dude.. You added some HPS? LOL get AC! That looks like heat stress.

Wow, they certainly didn't take to the adjustment very well, did they? How much higher are the temps? How close are you running the lights? Humidity? The light intensity shouldn't be hurting them that much, unless the lights are too close, and you're pushing some ridiculous LSF(lumens per square foot), like 10,000+. It's the heat/humidity, I'm pretty certain. How long since they've been watered? Is it possible that they were near dry before you upped the lighting, then the extra heat dried them out faster than you were expecting? I don't think that's the case, I'm just trying to cover everything. After all, it would seem rather odd that they all ran dry at exactly the same time, right?lol My guess is that the heat is too high, and the humidity is too low. They'd probably like a heavy misting of water, as well, as long as you make sure to back the lights off first, or do it an hour or so, before the lights come on.

No need to stress brotha. It's either that the laides are too hot or they are ready for watering. I will always let my plants start to droop before I water them so that looks normal to me. But if your temps are getting higher than 90, you're gonna see some shit happening related to heat for sure.

back the light off and gradually move closer

u hit them with to much light it shocked them, back the light off

More light needs more ventilation.
Also check soil temps or use reflective material.
Also make drip irrigation system on timer to feed plants regularly like 2 or 3 times while the light is on.

ok, so i turned off 1 of the 600's for about 3 days, all except one perked up instantly. Now, today, i turned the other 600 back on, and i'm going to see how things run. Temp wise i seem to be fine (now that is, it was 85F when i made this thread) I keep the window open in the room that the tent is in, it's michigan, the temps are low, around 60'ish. It just so happened that we had a heat wave the same day i put up the tent, around 80F.

Watering wise, i watered them the moment they were transplanted... this is my first and last time ever using HP pro mix by its self... i've always used FF ocean forest, but this time the store didn't have any so they convinced me that Promix is just as good...

Ventilation wise, i have a 440cfm inline blower, sucking air through the hoods and exhausting out of the tent, i have a stanley-style blower on the floor blowing air around, and lastly, a 300-ish cfm squirrel cage fan sucking air from right at canopy level and exhausting out of the tent. (the squirrel cage is a "4x"6 taken out of an industrial de-humidifier my friend got from his work) I keep most of the vents open also, including leaving the zipper closest to the window open, also, most of the day one of the tents larger flaps just stays open. (for now while my temps are still iffy)

Also, i am aware that the smaller plants need to be transplanted, they were given to me in this state, i will handle it accordingly.

As the outside temps drop i'm sure things will work themselves out... Hopefully, i'll begin flowering in a week. I'll be transplanting the large ones into 15 gal pots and the small ones into 5 gal buckets.

^Awesome man, I'm glad you got things under control. Sounds like they should turn out pretty well, after all.

indeed they are!
