Pbj thug pug. Started trying to veg in led. Did crap in my led tent. But looks good in my hid tent. Starting to fade. Hawaiian lights raising their hands in the background.

Iā€™m not a quitter but I also hate seeing my plants suffer. I am going to ease in 3 seedlings. 40 inches away. For 4 hours a day.

2 black cali grapes and a wedding cake x deep chunk.

Edit

Look how empty that 8 x 4 tent is. Its a damn shame. I got a fridge full of seeds but I havenā€™t produced a plant with veg vigor this summer. .

Strange for sure.

Are both tents the same venting/temps/rh?

I agree itā€™s odd. Somethingā€™s got to be up. Iā€™m wondering about temp myself. I notice my LED plants like much warmer temps, like low/mid 80F.

I also add a ton more dolomite lime to the LED plants.

Very similar temps and humidity.they are right beside each other. I even tried keeping g the led room warmer like 26.5

How long have they been under the leds for? Sometimes Iā€™ve noticed if the plants have been under less light and get moved under the high end leds that they look droopy for a few weeks because itā€™s too intense for the leaves theyā€™ve had. They basically have to grow all new leaves to deal with the intensity and that can take a long time. Iā€™ve just been starting mine under the HLG boards and not had any issues so far.

Iā€™ve used these for flowering once and had great results. Wanted to use them for veg for more savings. Iā€™m gonna leave everything alone for a week see whst happens

Temps got as low as 20.8C RH as high as 68 last night during lights out. Lights come on in 15 mins. I left the seedlings in there overnightā€¦see what happens

Those are looking very good ^^

And your Sour Lifesaver pics are making me want to pick up some BOG gear :drooling_face:
Trimming that looks to be about the same fun time as the Godberry was for me. Fairly leafy, but worth it.

This plant was totally healthy under hps. Praying everyday. Less than 48 hours in led tent

ALL MY VEGGING PLANTS UNDER HLG LOOK LIKE THIS. Even set up a new tent. Temps 21 at night 25 to 26 at day. Rh 40 to 60. 3 feet away from light.

I mean, doesnā€™t look bad. Praying doesnā€™t necessarily mean a good thing, ime it usually means they need more light. She looks like sheā€™s getting plenty right now and the environment sounds good.

Iā€™ve found 26-28c and humidity around 60-70% with lights on works really well with those LEDs for veg. Flower I like it a little cooler to prevent foxtails but it works just the same.

Iā€™ll give it a shot. I have the light turned down a bit as well. The leaves get a weird texture and stems redden in there. To me it looks like an unhappy plant. I have put it under hps for now to hopefully halt whats happening. Hereā€™s a bcg seedling i have in that tent as well not doing terrible

Rightā€¦ These HLG leds are beasts though. They can definitely drive a plant pretty hard leading to deficiencies.

I took a pepper plant I had outdoors for months and put her under two rspec boards around 30k lux and she just hated life. Took a month or so for her to put out new leaves and then she did great after that and I got a bunch of peppers. Again, Iā€™ve had much better luck with just starting them under the leds from the get-go. Gotta be careful though, too intense and you could end up with a 6" tall plant with 20 nodes on it after two months of veg :rofl:

Iā€™ve only seen praying for a couple weeks at most on two plants out of 6 since I started growing with these leds. Most of the time the leaves look mostly like your pics. Sticking straight out horizontally. The curling makes me wonder :thinking:

Iā€™m away at work now. But the wife is saying the led tents look much better. All have new growth. I think you may have been right. They were blasted with too much light. I had two hlg 550s in one 8 x 4 tent. I think it shocked them into stalling and made all my little issues into larger ones

Dam and here I though a guy could score some 550ā€™s cheap ! Glad to hear you might have it figured out.

still not sold on them. A little more difficult to grow than what Iā€™m use to. I wonā€™t give up though. A lot of growers churn out great stuff with these

Iā€™ll have a few more updates early next week. The pbj and pure blueberry should both be close if not done by then.
