...question....should I start off using cal-mag in my water since I am using LED lighting or wait awhile...also have my 2 P150 (50 watts grow) at 15'' (~25cm) above plants..ok?

 

[AK49ER]

well....ended up putting a touch of cal/mag in my water..am using 5 gal pots, watering lightly and have my 2 small lights at 13' above plants...doesn't feel too warm...things seem to be going ok

 

[AK49ER]

potted up Ultravilot and it is looking pretty small in that 5 gal....everything else fine...keeping tent 73 F - 80 F/ H 40-50...I will post picts when they get a mite larger

Is this leaf curl a problem?

I think I may have had my lights too close. Thought my P150 (50grow/100 bloom) would be "weaker" ...had them about 12 inches (30 cm) for first 7days and was getting this leaf curl on edges...moved them today up to 20 inches (50 cm?)...everything else seems ok..promix is ph at 6.8 out of bag measured with accu 8 and water is 7.0 out of tap then added a touch of cal/mg and ph down to 6.5..just the Carpathian Mazar is curling ...the Bubblicious shows no curl...have been cautious with watering..

 

[AK49ER]

trying to figure out the picture thing..both pictures are the Mazar

 

[AK49ER]

after another day...curl on Mazar seem the same maybe a little more pronounced but nothing on Bubblicious or few days younger Ultraviolet just next to it...maybe just a mutant or trait..otherwise everything is going well..first feeding for B and M mañana.

 

[AK49ER]

well did a search online and pretty sure I stressed the Mazar with too much light...moved my lights out to 30 inches ...the LEDs's were certainly not putting out much heat but this should help
