I’m on the right track with this it’s a week old now. Is it growing to tall to fast ? I got it about 4” inches from LED light

How big is the LED because it’s kind of stretching?

 

[Dukebasketball5511]

100 watt first I had it about 6 inches a way so I moved it closer to the light when I saw it stretching so bad now I’m about 4 inches from the light.

too tall for sure. backfill it and no problem with the leggy issue. is it 100W actual draw or is that what the company stated. if your keeping it at 4inches from the top i assume it aint actual draw cause i have a 75W stated light i had to keep it just as close to grow anything worth while. it worked but as the plant gets bigger it causes more issues like lack of lighting to lower part of the plant and lesser yields during flowering.

what lights do you have exactly? maybe people can give better answers based on that also try and state your grow room/budget maybe they can help with making DIY shit as well especially if your on the cheaper end i know people aint got tons of money to grow i been there done that and i know people on here do cool shit for cheap with lighting

It just a hanging light with a regular 100 watt led should I bump it up to 250? And I’m growing mine in a grow tent

 

[Dukebasketball5511]

Is it a 250 actual watts or equal to

 

[ct26turbo]

Are u just tryin to pop seeds to move outside or go a ful run with that light?

 

[Dukebasketball5511]

It’s says 250 watt on box

 

[Dukebasketball5511]

I had 100 watt on and my stem was growing faster than it should so I figured it needed more light

 

[ct26turbo]

Its only 32 bud it says it that its = to a 250watt

 

[Dukebasketball5511]

You can see it in previous post up near the top

 

[Dukebasketball5511]

Would that be better than what I was using it looks awhole like brighter

 

[ct26turbo]

Get a y socket n run both bulbs u got should only b $1.50 at ur local wally world

 

[Dukebasketball5511]

How far should I keep my plants from the light?

 

[ct26turbo]

With that id say 6" maybe less

 

[Dukebasketball5511]

And that should keep my stem from stretching?

 

[Axion42]

Just cover the stem with more soil, add suggested Y socket with extra bulb and watch grow.

 

[ct26turbo]

Put ur hand 4" away from the bulb for a minute n see how hot it gets n see from there i usually start my seeds with t5s n keep my lights close to seedlings
