Greetings all,
I been growing an auto-feminized strain indoor without any extra nutes, just bottled water and fox farm soil. Was going great.
I been using three CFL Daylight 60 watt lights that have a metal cylinder thing (name?) around so it focuses the light... for the first 4-5 weeks. They were about 4-5 inches away- two on opposite sides and one above. The ones on side were kinda close to the leaves on side, 2-3 inches from nodes.
The plant grew great, no issues. Great leaves that had no bad signs. Very nice green and straight.
Well about a week and a half into flowering (white hairs) I switched out the lights to CFL 75 watt Soft Light. They are more yellowish. From box, the cfl daylights are 1500 lumens and these cfl soft light are 1200. I did not move the light distance when switching.
So about three days after switch, my leaves, mainly in the middle and on sides nearest to the side lights, starting getting partially brown. I’ve attached a pic, this is just about 6 total weeks old.
These pics were done yesterday and had just moved the lights 2-3 inches back further then they originally were with the daylights.
Are the browning caused from light burn? I didn’t think I needed to move lights any further back when switching to soft light? Also read it’s best to keep em as close as possible (without burning obv). Right now, after moving them away they sit about 6 inches from the burned(?) leaves and 6-10 inches from the main stalk.
Everything else about plant seems fine. Tho it’s my first grow.. are these symptoms from light burn or something else (I’m not and don’t plan on using nutes). Appreciate any help or tips.
