I’m seeing a lot of claimed ”expert” growers blaming their LED for their plants looking like shit

user error 100%

OP lift your lights up as high as they can get, get your temps to 82-85, get your RH to 60%+ and wait a couple days they'll be fine.
Agree. That's why I am asking. I learnt a lot from this post.
BTW thanks for mentioning the RH - it was 45% cause of the tent, turned back on the humidifier now.


You are running autos, changes should be minimal. Temps in your new tent should be carefully monitored, it could be a bit cooler than before, not just a light issue.
Good point, it was warmer, you are right.
Might affect the plant also.


Thanks guys, I will update.

My bad, I assumed you were using Micro/Grow/Bloom...

Your chart isn't bad but I find using 100% will burn them. And you don't "need" all the additives .

I like to keep the ppm @ no more than ~ 1000.

Cheers
I use 75% (3ML instead of recommended 4ML) and not giving every watering.
I use only grow/bloom and Sensi Zym and now I will add big bud if that will not be too much ppm.
I am using RO water so I can have more space for ppm, also the soil this time is clean, no nutes at all, only what I am giving, easier to control.

Thanks!

update:

Its happening all the time.. up and down... can't tell why.. after watering also. every time. and in the end of the day also.
One plant specially.. the other one has some deficiency... I have no clue whats going on and why is the drooping.. :(

Today I removed one light out of the tent, and I got back to tap water instead of the RO. Droop before the watering and after, but now look better. but the leaves are very thin...


Feed is perfect, temperature, humidity, air, light, ph, soil.

Any idea?
Can someone tell what the deficiency looks like?

Also, can in this stage I can transplant autoflower to a larger pot?

well if you are using straight clean soil that is most likely the issue soil should always have amendments from day 1 at least thats my 2 cents

Here man. I link these enough I might even remember some of it... I had one plant that looked like that, it was wet soil with who knows what nutes left in it, plus it was like 60f. Roots wet is my uneducated guess.

Thanks, great links.

10000% its not over watering.
I know my way with plants, never over watering.

Its an 11 liter pot each, I give them 3.5 liter each, usually there is a 0.5 run off of each and its perfect. 2-3 days, and the pot is light again, I always wait for the pot to be a bit light before watering and double check the soil.

Idk. Drop to me means roots or dry. I would like to know myself.
Maybe it's just the change in lights. My current grow I went from a ts600 to a sf1000 and my plant looked a bit crispy. Might just raise the lights up a bit. Do you have a way to measure the light levels to see if that might be the deal?

I’ve t5s in small tent, and 200w 4x Cree Cobs-5000k n 6500k.
They definitely shock a bit when the go under Cobs, and slight increase in feeding.
Doesn’t last long though, couple of days, sometimes only very mild

Try watering every 4 - 5 days.
Thanks, great links.

Thanks.

Happened again now.. I am getting crazy...

Watered tap water yesterday before the "night".
After the watering, was a bit drooping.
When day started, was ok like this:

Now, after 10 hours of light (remind you, I removed one light and the current light is 60 cm over the plants)

I don't get it.

I don't understand what this plant wants :(

Yes, with both lights was 25,000 lux
now its around 14000 lux...

No way its the light
Maybe I am missing light...

The problem is that this is in cycles.
Its getting better, than droop again, better, droop, and so on.. so we are way aftet the shock, if at all..

Maybe its and air issue?
I have a 120 vent and 250 blow out vent with carbon filter
So there is a bit negative pressure, but it was the same for the smaller tent..

I will add another vent

The closest thing I found to the rust spots on lower leaves is Cal def.
As for droopiness, If it was me I would check the root system for smell or discoloration.
I really hope you figure it out and solve the problem.

if theyre looking better after the dark and then later after hours of light are drooping again, then its probably light shock. some strains need way less than others.
