Disappointing harvest lol

New to LEDs and have this same issue, mfg recommendations were never met yet. Pointing fan upwards towards light seemed to help but still havent lowered past 24” yet, and it says 14-16” veg.

That comment helped, I felt most would go lower. Cheap but decent light though. Two strains, the other seems hungrier for light, so strains can differ?

Thats why I am trying to keep canopies with their own strain. Thought this was relevent to your thread.

Wow 580G isn’t bad if it did not take longer than 4 months IMO. Sorry about the light buds, my first outdoor was like that.

My plants have been thriving with the fan pointing at light, growing 11 tip leaves. I am a newbie but there are my two cents, they bleached and showed what you described before. Big open space helps too?

looks like they could use some Mg

My lights are only 200 actual watt LEDS and I have had to move it up to about 20" in veg and 14" in flower. My plant tops were growing away from it before I raised them.

Mine is the Fecida 250W actual watts for 160$. The low watt version 130w did not do this as bad. Watching and researching LEDs to learn more about them. Grower posted on a thread a massive harvest with just 130w lol. I think a little over 8oz one plant 2x2ish. Amazing lol.

I just switched to LEDs also. They get some getting used to- After HIDs for about 5 years. I have two 4x2x5ft tall grow boxes that gave me at least 1lb. per grow on the last 2 grows. that is plenty enough for me with 300 watts of quantum board diodes for each box.

Lack of nutes from putting off the chop from 10 to over 11 weeks (of flower) on the 2nd grow was an issue, since I flushed for too long. The leaves were too yellow around the top buds but I still had a good harvest both times.

too close to the light (too intense) on the top buds was also an issue. Buds swelling and getting fist shaped from foxtailing was also an issue. It all smokes good but those top buds were prone to bud rot from being so dense with leaves dying around them. The foxtailing was OK with me but the butt rot was not.............
All in all- I am very satisfied with the results and can improve on them next time with better app of nutes and a better understanding of what trichs and buds look like at 9 to 11 weeks in a sativa dominant strain (Super lemon haze). I intend to avoid that buttrot next time and maybe even harvest closer to 10 than 11 weeks........

Next time it will be "train wreck" (the strain)- as opposed to a train wreck (I hope)

live and learn according to your grow situation
