    I plan on vegging for 4 weeks total. I am on the second week now. I believe the plants are over-watered which is causing them too look droopy. I will get some better pictures in the following days.

    I was able to get the humidity up to 55%. I made the mistake of using miracle grow soil and also fox farm nutrients. (I forgot miracle grow already had nutes)

    Thanks Everyone!

    Cool mate - Just let them dry out and go easy moving forward.
    I vegged for 13 weeks and they overtook my grow space!! (lessons learned) - I bought a bigger tent ha!
    Yeah, fuck miracle grow.. Sure fire way to fuck your plants.

    They seem a lil smaller then they should, imo. Maybe from ur led?
     
  7. #7 Michael4367357, Jan 23, 2019
    I believe you are correct. I was using this led the first 10 days before I switched to the viparspectra 3 days ago.



    Do you guys think this led is suitable for vegging 6 plants? Trying to root out any problems. Pun not intended ;)

    Doubt its from led more from possible over water and MG and ffof lots of nutes in both which some seedlings can be susceptible too

    You don't have enough light. The Viparspectra 600w is only 260 actual watts and the GalaxyHydro 1000w is only 132 actual watts. You have less than 400 watts of light - you need at least double that for 6 plants. Good luck.

    Beat me to it. Totally agree. 6 plants is too many for the light provided.

    But atm as seedlings in solo cups thats plenty light think op is wondering why at 2 weeks they look like week old plants later he may want more light but atm its pointless

    First id pot them in to 3l pots but better soil not MG.

    Also how far away are your lights
    Over water is killer for seedli g it can really slow there growth

    Once transplanted into larger containers and into flower... There still wont be enough light intensity to grow 6 healthy plants tho pal....
    I would recommend getting a new light for flower at the very minimum.
     
  14. #14 loki125, Jan 23, 2019
    400w atm even in 3l pot is enough he may want to get more for flower but light isnt his current issue ive grown bigger plants with 100w cfl in solo pots in 2 weeks.

    Not everything is down to lighting enviroment genetics and water shedule/ soil play a huge part in growth and atm lights aint the issue over water and the hot soil is likely the issue causing the stunting
    Hell i think i got 6 clones atm under 186w and there doing lovely

    No, i agree with that bro, it's not all down to lighting but it's a major factor.
    I would still up the power for flower though (just looking to resolve future problems before they crop up)!
    As i said in the 1st few replies, the over watering and the MG soil is not helping his cause!
    MG is a sure fire way to fuck your plants.
     
  16. #16 loki125, Jan 23, 2019
    Yeah MG coupled with over water is not something you want 1 is bad both is gonna fuck shit up lucky its photos and in solo not rooted in 5gal or something.

    Amen Brother.

    Thanks for all the feedback everyone :)

    1.) Plants are 20" from the light
    2.) I have fox farm ocean forest soil coming tomorrow, should I transplant into a 5 gallon pot or transplant to a 1 gallon pot first?
    3.) I think I am going to only use 4 of these considering limited lightening or alternatively upgrade the led light to something more powerful.
     
  19. #19 Michael4367357, Jan 23, 2019
    Any recommendations on lights for flowering please dont hesitate. I am looking into replacing both lights with 1 more powerful light. I wonder if either one of these would do the trick.

    Ever considered HPS? (let the flood gates open!)
