New growth already looks better. It’s literally been 24 hours only. Give it a couple days without messing with other stufff

Agreed. The new growth definitely looks like it perked up some.

What is the spec of the light and what distance is it from the plants?

Roots are turning a yellow color. Water temp was 74.3 F this morningThe new growth started drooping. I believe it’s water temps.
tent climate when I checked this morning was 74.3 f
RH 58%
All day yesterday I was able to keep water temp at 68.

I don't agree. In the pics I'm posting, if you look on the meter, I have 73 degree water in my bucket....
Dealt with higher temps that whole grow. I never had a problem as a result.

I reckon you still have light stress. What is the spec of your light and how far is it from the plants? You say you have set it at 60%, 60% of how much?
I have a 4x4 with 600w from 4 x TS1000. My plants are in late veg and I am only giving them 50% at 50cm - 60cm (24" - 28") from the canopy. When my plants were at the stage yours are at I was running the lights at 30% at the same distance.

Ok. Then I’m at a loss.

Cannabis plants don't need a lot of light in veg, especially when they're that small. A par meter would probably be a helpful tool for you.

60% at 42 inches.
Light; 400W full-spectrum grow light with Samsung LM301B LEDs.

I will purchase one! Thanks for the info.

I'd take that down to 20% at 28". Then wait at least 48 hours before you assess the situation. At the very least you will save a chunk of cash off your electricity bill.

That's not how LEDs work. It doesn’t necessarily change the amount of power used because it actually uses small rapid interruptions in the flow of electricity which produces the dimmer effect our eyes perceive That's why they always say the dimmers save energy, not electricity. Incandescent's use heat loss for dimming which is wasted energy.

All I know is that if I plug mine into a watt meter and turn them down the watts drop accordingly. I notice the difference in my bills.

Awesome, now lets see what happens. Remember, the already damaged leaves might not recover, it is the new growth you need to keep an eye on.

The new growth perked back up!
I think you guys were right the light intensity was stressing the plants out.
What schedule should I follow for raising the light intensity?
