Hey guys ive recently just changed my light from a 600w led to a 2000w led the one thats in the pic and when i put the new light (its got a bloom switch and a flower one the old one was just full spectrum no switches) in ive thought well since old light was on full spectrum i should just turn both switchs on, the old light was about 30cm from the tops and the new one i did about 60cms because i knew it was stronger but i didnt take into fact how bright and hot it was going to be so i left it running in the tent for about 20mins to see what the temp would be at it has wilted the leaves abit so i turned it off full spectrum and left it on veg. My question is after the big ass story lol would that bit of stress cause the leaves to do that ? Because ph is 5.6 just buffed it up to 5.8 this arvo cheers guys
Light changed now leaves are going a bit wack

Maybe both def. and light bleach.
What is the actual wattage? 500w?
Going from there schedule being with a certain light, they get used to it. Then switching to way stronger light will do that. Put it on both at 24" start there and work your way down an inch a day til you see light stress, then raise 2 inches. You want as much of a full spectrum as possible. Use both even during veg for better final product.

Yeah alright well im using ro water as my base im pretty sure its about 6.3ph, Greenfingers 2000W Reflector-Series LED Grow Light Indoor Plant VEG and BLOOM
thats the link for the light it says it replaces a 1000w hps but i guess they mean if its full spectrum?
I had it on about 24inches on full spectrum when they started wilting should i go higher then ?

Its 380w. Classic. They always advertise it like that. Absolutely retarded, false advertising is illegal i thought, apparently not, such a joke.
If there wilting at 24", your overwatering probably. Need to know more. Are you in soil? 6.3ph is wrong for either. 5.8- 6.2 in hydro and 6.5-7 for soil.

They are hydro and ph is 5.6 to 5.8. I'd say cal/mag and the problem should stop.
Make sure your ph pen is calibrated to.
