4 weeks with an LED..hows she look?

[BeaverPeltJesus]

Trying out a 600w LED for a change...is the size look normal? How close should I have the light to plants? The first pic is a c99xblueberry fem from seeds man and the second is a “trash panda” from my ash tray. All input welcome

That is way too close to the lights the plants are stunted, look at the leaves they're drooping down trying to get away from the light, get it like a foot and a half to two feet at least away from the top of the plants.

Wayyyyy to close to plant.

Are you feeding them?
I see a burn on your plant, maybe nute burn or maybe your light being soo close

Also those Chinese lights say they arw 600 or 1000w ,

But they are not even 200 actual watts.
Fyi

I’m aware they aren’t a real 600w just seeing what they can do, I wasn’t to sure how close they needed to be since the LED doesn’t penetrate like hps... I’ll probably put my 400 back in there

Atleasttttt 18 inch,

that isnt light burn, thats about right for the plants though (distance). maybe a couple inches up but those you have to keep a little closer than the 1000w an 18" is a rule of thumb when using hps lighting not all lights. my cfls when i use them i have maybe a couple inches away but keep as close as i can without burning the plant.

nute burn, you can see it on the shorter one too

id back off the nutes a bit maybe raise 6" and itll be better, make sure you have good circulation tie the bigger one down so you have an even canopy

 

[BeaverPeltJesus]

I moved the light up to about 15 inches from the plant, yellowing leaves were from over water so got that taken care of... 4 weeks from seed pop.

18" for a 1000? That's in a cool tube right? And yup over watering. FYI not directed to quote but: The plants aren't trying to get away from the light lol.

 

[BeaverPeltJesus]

I should add, I’m not giving any nutes at the moment, just black soil and compost teas... thinking of doing a scrog screen and time is not an issue, low and slow!!

Yes it would .

 

[ChefKimbo]

Looks like the Mars 600. Plants will do well at 18-22 inches in veg.

 

[theflowerman.dc]

I would recommend atleast 24 inches man, thats just me

 

[theflowerman.dc]

Ohh i love it,

I had it in my inside cabnet, then got it for my first tent,

Did me good, so i ordered and got it for my 2nd tent too.

So i have about 6-7 vipars all together

I have this cheapy light only covering a 2x3 area!!
