Just wondering what led you have that's pulling only 177 watts? I've learned my lesson with cheaper LEDs that's why I'm running two kind led xl1000's they pull like 600ish watts but I've had better results than when rock old school hoods. Guess what I'm saying is don't expect 1000watt results from that light. But good luck I'm all about LEDs!

Oh yea I'm definitely not expecting a yield as if I was using a high end LED. I wanted to start with something cheaper and get a feel for what I'm doing before any serious investment :mrgreen:

Kind's actually about the same quality as a lot of Chinese knockoffs. You'll find a lot of people feel that Kinds don't have a fair pricepoint for its hardware. Not talking shit, just giving you a general opinion. As long as they work for you.

No I feel you they are pricey but quality way different. I've had black dog , California light works, lush and a few from htg supply their brand as well as the ufos. Having taken them all apart the only one I've found that comes close is lush and those btw are pretty nice. The main point though is ppl get these LEDs thinking they'll give the same results pulling say 200 watts or less and claiming 1000 watt performance.
 
I checked the plants this morning and one of them was pretty wilted from lack of water (leaves were limp). I watered all four, and the seedling with the limp leaves perked right up. However, I noticed that al four seedlings have leaves that are starting to yellow. Additionally, the leaves of one of them (the one with limp leaves) has started to curl and turn brown :sad:

Any ideas what's going on? I'm worried that it's going to happen to all of them.
