Ya the lights are 4" away. I can probably have them closer but i dont want to risk burning. But i just had to flush because if you see at the tips they are starting to change color and is edges curling up. Ive feed then a very light feed once and they started to very slightly turn color. You guys say they are ok so must be me lol.

Could be the start of light/heat stress, what's your temp reading.

It keep it somewhat steady at 77-79°. Humidity is around 35% a little low

Anything under 80 is good, Rh could come up a bit.

At 79 degrees you would want to be 70% Rh, shoot for as high as you can get it. It will be hard coming up from 35% though.

 

[BiGBudzz33]

Well im investing in a humidifier. Its been extremely hard with that. I yave a little mist purifier but thats barely keeping it 30%

Winter is hard to keep RH up but it will be getting warmer soon.

to BiGBudzz...Your plants look fine but if it were me I wouldn't feed them at all for the first 3 weeks or until the cotyledons start to turn yellow...those are embryonic sacks holding food for the baby to nurse off of.....my 2 cents...

Oh and another thing...from someone who started with CFLs also...fine for veg but EXPENSIVE to flower with HIDs are really cheap now...I got a 1000 watt HPS for $165 and my girls reward me for it here's some examples...

6 weeks under 850+ watts of CFLs......4 weeks under a 1000 watt HPS...


peace and good luck man

Depending on the size of your space you can run your new led with the cfls. I always had nice plants with the mix of blurple (I am assuming yours is blurple by the 1000watt rating) and CFL.

Correct. Right on the nail GANJA. Im thinking i should slowly introduce them or should i full blown through my 700w to the LED?

Just set the led up kinda high for a day or 2 then start lowering it to around 24"
