First Grow-Light burn, overwater, or both?

[Asher2019]

Update Day 9 I think they are trying to bounce back from the light camage from being too close, but there is a lot of yellowing and the lights are at 34". I thought for a hydro system, ph should be between 5.5-6.5 ?? Please feel free to input your opinions as this is my first grow and I'm already off to a bad start. The pics are taken with a green light filter/ as opposed to no filter and blurple led light.

Hydro with soil? I think not....

its not soil, its 65/35 coco/perlite, pics were taken just after watering

Hydro 5.8 to 6.2 coco perlite is hydro.

Ahh ok I'm not a fan of hydro buds.... so not educated enough on it.... I've always been a believer that a plant needs a dry wet cycle in flower to stress it a little and not sure how you would obtain that with hydro.

Still I would think hydro means no medium besides water .....dripping water into cocoa seems like a invitation for problems

Coco/perlite have zero nutrients. and all they do is provide a medium for the roots to establish, and to hold the water/nutrients that you add, along with plenty of air pockets for the roots not to drown.
It is most definitely classed as Hydro - basically like anything that has no soil.

Since you guys brought up the topic of nutrients, I have another question, Is there a chart that shows what the ppm breakdown of nutrients should be for an autoflower grow for a resevoir system, rather than run off, which from what I can tell could get quite expensive. I'm using the flora trio system + calmag for this grow. Currently my ph is 6.2 and ppm is 285

I would look on the flora website, with autos i see most in the 50% area of photos.

I did, this is what I found in case anyone else is reading this thread. Hope this helps, I'm going to stay on the conservative side. I think less is more as I feel my plants have already suffered enough stress so far, I'll post some updated pics tomorrow, I'm not sure how they are hanging on as l lack the experience to have anything to compare to other than photos, and mine arent looking as good as most of the seedlings I've seen at 9 days of growth but I refuse to give up hope.
