New Grower HYDROPONICS- Reverse Flood Table- Abducted by Aliens in the Bermuda Triangle

Well, it doesn't sound like heat or humidity. I agree with DG that lifting lights may be the best thing. How far did you lower them in response to the stretch?

I love the stem trainers. They are not pricey at all when you consider that they can be reused for each grow. Mine already more than paid for itself with the buds they created.

Things are looking great CD! I’d definitely slide those lights up a bit and dial in the VPD thing, they might be sensitive.
Thanks DG. I think i will back the light off a bit for now. They are still getting a good amount of light either way. Thank you for your feed back everyone.

Yea. For sure. Im going to raise them up a few inches and see if they respond beter. Im might also have to get some of those trainers then. I think I was looking at like $120 to get enough for 4 plants though.
 
I've noticed allot, if not all, sprouts started under led are leggy And quite a few people lower lights to stop stretch and end up with curled up leaf edges from lights being too close. That's just something that has stood out to me reading the grow journals. So much so that I've decided to use my t8 floro's the first week or so to start seeds and switch to the autocob after the first or second set of true leaves. I don't think the baby leaves(cotyledon) like the leds and cause stretching in sprouts.
 
Omg this cloudline from ac infinity is slick as fuck! Especially for the price ..omg! Exactly what I was looking for. I got everything set up. Just need the duct work which will be arriving tomorrow. I just went with the T4 model since its enough to cycle a 5x5 tents air almost twice every minute. With that being said I moved my hygrometer to the base of.my plants and I dont think I realized how hot it was getting under the light. Pretty sure this over sight has caused my leaf curl so I did back the lights off about 6 inches.

Really stoked about the AC Infinity system. Got the T8 here in a box with filter and ducting, just waiting on the new tent. I’ll be messing around with a heater in the basement, so I could use all the help I can get.

Do you have a fan blowing at your seedling to push off some of the hot air?

Wow! That's a lot of trainers. One multi pack of 50 cost me 29 bucks. I used them on my two plants. Could I have used a couple more, sure, but I think I am going to make that work this time around also. I think three multipacks should work for four plants.

Ah thats sweet. Its so easy to set up and Yes, I have a tower fan oscillating over the tops of them to keep the air going. That was also an addition this round. It takes up a lot less space, has lower settings to prevent wind burn and also covers a larger surface area. Huge improvement over the 15" blade fan I was using.

Yea, I think your right. By any chance did they give you any type of coupon code when you ordered? I know alot of places will throw them out after your first order to get you to come back or tell friends.
