Re: Newbie...

Try giving them a low dose of sum cal mag. How high do you have the 600watt light?

Re: Newbie...

Also looks like you need to raise that light a bit also.

Re: Newbie...

The light was 16 inches away but it's now 12 inches away. I thought with a parabolic you could get them closer. The temperature are sitting at 27. I've been afraid of over feeding them so I only gave the smallest amount of nutrients. They're due feeding tomorrow so I'll up my dose. Thank you!

Re: Newbie...

That's too close...my 600w hps was never closer than 16".. usually 18-20"

OK I've moved it to 16inches away. Everywhere I read was saying with the parabolic you can get the light close.. Does this only apply later on or should you not do it at all in your experience?

I wouldn't get it any closer that 20". 600 watt lights produce a lot of heat. Put your hand under the light if you feel uncomfortable then your plants will too.

I'd go 20" as well, not sure on the parabolic

Thanks guys, I'll move it. The heat does seem fine though. 27 and its comfortable on my hand. I've upped the nutes and moved the light, I also noticed some wind burn so I also moved the fans around a little aswel. Done alot of research beforehand but seem more nervous now incase I screw it up. I need it to work

 

[CharlieHashBr]

If that was the problem and I've corrected it now will the rest of the plant grow normal? Or will it cause any harm in the long term?

 

[Fsanti1226]

Yea you should see normal new growth coming in if all was corrected.

Fed them last night. Lights higher and temp have dropped to 24. They look happier today...ill maybe snap some pics over the next few days. Thanks guys
