New to growing indoors with led lights. Currently have 900w led with veg/bloom feature. Question is when in veg should we have both lights on during veg as suggested by the light manufacturer? The reason we are questioning this is it appears as if plants are getting burnt.

Why is there an option to have these switches at all if you have veg/bloom on all the time.

Plants were at least 32 inches away from light.

yea use both, your using too much food, notice the burning on your leaves, dying. Use half as much as your using, humidity 55-60%, temps 18 low- 26-28°c high

 

[Juanita67]

We haven't used any supplements for food. Used fox farm products ocean forest and happy frog for different stages of growth

 

[VanIslandConnoisseur]

okay then your humidity:temp ratio is way off

 

[VanIslandConnoisseur]

raise humidity, or lower temps or both

 

[Juanita67]

Temp is averaging 25 humidity 60%. Ph for water is 6

 

[VanIslandConnoisseur]

soil is too strong because ph is too low probably.

what is ph6?

what ph pf water do you water with?
what ph is your runoff? thanks

 

[VanIslandConnoisseur]

soil, water with 6.8-7 to get a ph of 6.5-6.7 at the roots dowt the bottom. if your watering ph 6, roots are too acidic to take up food properly. roots are 6? probably wont see that that bad unless soil is like 3-4000ppm. but should be higher, water with 6.8-7ph for best results.

 

[Juanita67]

So we are watering with water that is a pH of 6, when we tested the runoff we got a total pH of 7.3

 

[VanIslandConnoisseur]

flush the soil with ph 4 water til run off is 6.5
