NEED ADVICE

ok so I posted last night asking for help. conclusion people came out with was over watering or to much light. i've got 2 anesthesia autos flowers from pyramid and 1 auto shark. im currently running it under a 300w Mars hydro. and 2x flourecent lights 1 tube and 1 bulb. running it under 24/7
my question is should I use all the lights during veg or should I just run the LED lights or Flourecents. their undersoil. all Im currently watering now 4-5 days wen soil is almost dry.

Babys: Seedlings or cuttings with little roots, keep the light weak until the roots are big enough to supply the increased water needs the plant will have with higher lights.

Well rooted: Transition to full lights, everything, but transition if you can so it isn't a sudden shock. Start light extra high if that is your only transition option.

Now there is also the option of running less light in veg if you want a less bushy plant, but leave that to playing around in future runs...

after rooted, basic rule is 100 actual watts per girl, ive found that accurate. I use 1000k system for flower and my 600 for veg. veg u can use cfls with no problems

40-45w per sq ft is optimal for t5ho. About 65w/sq ft for CFL. Your Mars LED is somewhere between those two, maybe 50.

Figure the square footage you need to cover. Apply the lights above accordingly.

Autos will bud on their own no veg 2 to 3 gallon pots max start to finish no transplanting. florescent is fine for now. I've grown big plants under them.
 
Well my baby's are doing great I noticed that to mixing the soil wasn't a great idea abit of nute burn but to be honest she's doing great. She's looking perky. My auto shark is looking nice to be honest. Still haven't added nutes I'm gonna wait. Till flowering starts but for now. No nutes.

You dont have enough light there to really create any adverse affect on seedlings so put them all on all and keep the led almost 3 feet away till they mature a little and slowly drop it. Try not to go lower than 20 inches above the canopy with LED to prevent burning/bleaching. I've grown them under both 24/0 and 18/6. Didn't notice much of a yield difference with the 24/0 to the 18/6, and trich production was slightly better with the 18/6 with the same strain both runs..
 
So how much light would u recomend. I've ordered a 300w florecent bulb. This will make the total of 900w going into the room. And yh your right I did have my LED lights quite low and noticed abit of burn. Will update pics today so you guys can see.
