New Grower Danielsaaan’s Third Grow

[2budz]

Could very well be. Any recommendations? They’re currently getting 510 PPFD, 40.39 DLI

How are you measuring?
Iwould drop down to 400 and see how they respond. Give them 48 hours. If they’re perked up turn it up to maybe 425. Find what they like. I have a plant that’s drooping like crazy at 520 ppfd but there isn’t much I can do. She’s in a tent with flowering plants and I have nowhere else to put her.

Ill give that a shot. I’m always scared of giving them too little, when in reality I should be the opposite probably…

They’re actually looking much better this morning! Did feed yesterday. Will post some pics a bit later!

Day 32: Rotated the pots. Fed the trio at full strength yesterday - PH 6.6. Lowered my PPFD to 465, but switching to 24/0 (basement getting too cool during lights off). DLI is 40.18.

Day 33: Rotated the pots. Battling some deficiencies, but the new growth looks pretty good. Will need to water tomorrow I think.

Day 34: Watered with Recharge and Quillaja - PH 6.7 til runoff. Lowered PPFD to 410, DLI - 35.42. Hoping this helps.

Not even 24 hours, and a huge difference in the plants. They look so much happier at 35 DLI. Just need to be more mindful of my lighting. Less is more in Veg I’m guessing (25-35 DLI?) Once bloom, slowly increase til 40-50 DLI?

If you're having issues with light levels this might help as I had similar issues myself. The way I deal with this is I slam my light up the the ceiling and set it at a good level where everyone is happy and I just leave it. Then I just adjust the high of plants as needed. Most of the time the plants on the floor are perfect for veg or I just have to lift them a bit for a week or two till they get some more height. And my fully grown plants will be getting max light because they are already closer!

Looks like you're getting it sorted either way man, obviously do what works best for you. Glad to hear they're doing better!

Makes sense, and thank you! Appreciate any and all constructive advice. Hopefully I’ll have things more dialed in my next grow. Getting there. Slowly but surely. Live and you learn!

Yeah definitely man, adjust and do what works for you. I find each grow gets easier and smoother for me so just keep it up! It's usually just one or two things that are tripping the whole thing up.

These two are still going to give you some good bud, I think your next run you'll kill it for sure!
