What’s up with my grow?

[Mtsfour]

Green Crack Feminized

AC Infinity:
2x4 Tent
6” inline fan pro
6” carbon filter
280 watt LED
3 Gallon pots

lights have been about 18” above can

Fox Farms Soil
Tap water that has been aerated with bubbler.
Water kept in 2 five gallon food safe buckets
Nutrients every other water with Dyna Grow

Plants are about 6 weeks old. I have ever only grown with HPS lights (1000 watt). Never have I ever grown plants this bad, WTF is up? Previous grows were a hodge hodge of brands, when I downsized I just went in on a kit from a single brand.

edit: also just flushed plants thoroughly.

Is your light dimmable? Is it at 100%? Looks to me like light stress and a bit of overfeeding..

Tap water that has been aerated with bubbler- Waste of time, dont need to do this.
Water kept in 2 five gallon food safe buckets- Waste of time, dont need to do this
Nutrients every other water with Dyna Grow - Nutrients every time, with runoff. Drench the pots completely so soil is refreshed with balanced nutrients. Runoff flushes excess salts.

edit: also just flushed plants thoroughly. - This removes nutrients in the soil. They must be replaced now.

Prepare nutrient solution per instructions, full strength. Drench both pots with ~30% runoff, we need to stabilize the soil. Let the plant drink for a few days until soil is dry, this will take 5-8 days based on the plant size. Leave them alone, do not add anything or help them. When dry, repeat. Its ok, if you wait until the leaves get a little limp to water again. Need to learn proper wet/dry cycles.

Best of luck!

Thank you ! Really went into detail. The process I’m taking has been done a number of times over with no issue in the past. Just transplanted them into 3 gallon pots from .5 gallon. I’ve never watered every time with nutes, if I was having a nute issue, is the first sign always burnt tips?

I do agree on the wet/dry cycle. Under HPS it was every other day. Going to LED I feel like a complete noob again.
