Indoor 1000 watt led 3 strain grow first timer

[Cat]

The light's far too close to the seedlings, it will stunt her a lot as well as bleach and fry her. The LED distance for Seedling stage: 24" to 30". Veg stage: 18"-24" and Flower: 12"-18". The humidity at this stage should ideally be 70% but I usually struggle to get above 60%. The last couple of days humidity was 40%. Hang a wet towel in the grow room or cover the seedling with a plastic bottle. It'll act as a humidity dome. The pics not great but I wonder if it looks too wet. Unfortunately, I can't advise you about when to start the nutrients with this soil mix. I use the same nutrients, but grow in coco. Are you checking the pH? Do you have a TDS meter to check the ppm of the nutrient mix?

its saying they are 10W epistar chips. i have no experiance with them but i do have the 5 watt epistar diodes in my mars reflectors and they are nice diodes and strong! so keep it at 28" for now and if the babies stretch too much (over like 1.5" i try to keep my seedlings at about 1-1.5") lower the led by like 2" and see if they keep stretching

peat should have some nute value in it.. just watch the first set of true leaves, when you see them not as green as they should be/were its time to feed.. and yes cat is right about humidity, the higher the better but i run my seedlings next to my veg and flowering pants at like 50% RH and they are ok. but a higher humidity WILL HELP. i use advanced nutrients so cat could help you with feeding ratio's and such

Alright i will check the height of the light and readjust! The soil is just 0-0-0 peat moss mixed 70/30 with perlite I do check my ph of my water every time and adjust to about 6.4 and I don't have a ppm gauge atm

Here in about half hour when the step dad leaves I'll open the doors and post pics haha. Check back then! Thanks for the advice guys defiantly listening. I've grown many plants for small amounts of time then got interrupted mid veg and had to chop every time this time is different lol

AFN is a great place to learn, i owe pretty much everything i know to AFN someway or another.... at first i spent ALOT of time reading through journals and taking notes wether that be mental or written and it really helped

Since I moved the light up the no has shot up a bit the nq looks good shorter the and the ap is looking rough.

Lights are approx 28-30 inches above them right now. I've saw the night queen auto put up like 555g dry from one plant that'd be awesome lol

yes the short one is from the LED being too close.. they should do alot better now.. just dont over water them.. i spray mine and the substrate with h2o to keep up RH also

I have also added a wet towel to the room we will see what that does and should I add any micro to my water yet next water will be in 2 days probably
