Hey everybody I need some help. I'm currently doing 3 auto mazaars and 1 think different. I was originally gonna use my 600 watt how/mh from start to finish but decided to veg with an old 90 watt ufo led. Now the problem is this is a China made led and I don't think it has the right spectrum for vegging bc the plants are on day 18 and haven't gotten that big.. And the earliest I can put my mh on is at least 3 days. Should I wait it out with the led for 3 days and switch to my mh/hps? Or would the plants have been stunted by now? Is it worth it to keep them? Will adding the 600 watt mh in 3 days get them back on track? Or should I just rip them out?
 
I found vegging under a cheap cfl and reflector works really well for the first few weeks. I noticed much better growth than my mars II
 
don't worry I have almost completely done my grow with flower lights. (added some vegging later on)
There's no problem vegging with flowering lights but it's just less beneficially you'll still get a great yield.
Btw can you see some blue lights/white lights amongst your led's? these are for vegging.

Thing what I've found with cannabis is this:
1 seedling: They start off slow
2 veg: explode in growth
3 pre flower: slow again
4 flower: explode again
5 pre-late flower: slow again
6 late flower: explode again (but not in height but in buds swelling)
7 harvest

If you want to check how you're doing go here here's a timeline I've made for new growers:

just remember every plant grows at it's own rate!

got any pics?
