Day 27
FFOF 50% perlite
Temp 74 humid. 45-50%
FSGTEK 1000w light/ 20/4 schedule/ 24in from plant
Ac infinity inline
3x3x6
1 10in fan
1 clip on 6in fan
Haven’t been using humidifier, I feel like it makes my plants look ashy. (Lmk if I should turn it back on)


Plants are now flowering and I feel like they should have way more vegetation, anything I could be doing wrong?? They are def stretching tho.
Also, they are not the color I see on other ppls plants. Zkittles has yellowish veins and leafs the others are more light green than the more healthy dark green look. Any suggestions to correct this

Should I do some lst on them?

Any recommendations for organic nutes?

Great thanks to anyone willing to help!

Plants are stretching, not enough light for the tent. The light says 1000w but really it's only 100 watts.

Correct, it’s 1000w power from leds and 100w from wall.
Would u recommend dimming the light and bringing it closer? Not sure if u can see but the plants have light burn so I raised the light which made the plants stretch so I just put it at 100% from 65% bc I figured they weren’t getting enough light. Also, when I first got the light it was extremely bright so bright I couldn’t even look at it on the lowest setting. A couple days later it wasn’t so bright even on the highest setting. I’m planning on getting vivosun VS1000.

You need more wattage from the wall. Double, if not triple.

Keep the lights at 100% and 12-18 inches from the top of the plants during flower.

Here’s a closer look at canopy. This won’t make light burn worse??

Would led strips help? I seen those and they’re cheap. Was thinking ab getting some and attaching them to the sides of the tent to get more light under the canopy.
 
These aren't top of the line but they are good lights and aren't blurple. All slightly different but very good starter lights.

$139.99 - 150w -
$159.99 - 150w -
$159.99 - 100w -
$199.99 - 200w -

Appreciate the help brother!
 
Cheaper isn't always better. Are you looking for just quality or do you also want yield and explosive growth?

I know I went from Mars Hydro TSW-2000 panels (6 of them to be exact) and they each only covered 1 of my plants even when I was in 5 gallon containers. I'm now growing in 10 gallon containers and there is no way in hell they would produce or yield what I want and need per/month.

I'm a medical grower and have patients that rely on me every month. I cant be growing small or slow plants, which is exactly what you will get with weak or cheap lighting.

With LED lighting you're going to mainly be paying for the upfront equipment and not so much on electricity & HVAC (Heating, Ventilation And Cooling).
With HPS lighting you're going to be paying as much as 80% less for same if not better performance although you will have more of an electricity cost and more HVAC requirement (HID Lighting gets HOT)

There are some things you can consider. Like I said I started in the LED game 2 years ago with the Mars-Hydro TSW-2000 fixtures and they were good but nothing near as good as my current Gavita 1000 Watt HPS DE Fixtures.

Mars-Hydro the growth was about 10 days slower from clone to harvest and also the plants yielded half what they do now. I'm pulling easily 22-26 ounces per/plant in a 10 gallon pot. With a perpetual garden (plants vegging in 1 room, plants blooming in another) I'm chopping down over a pound every month and I'm able to comfortably provide my patients with a couple ounces each per/mo free..
 
Not to mention @MarsHydrofactory has very bad quality support & service. Had a driver fail on a brand new Mars Hydro TSW-2000 and they mailed me a part that I had to splice and wire in myself. Fortunately I'm an electrician. Someone that doesn't really know how to work on stuff would've been screwed because when I objected to the service they just went ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ basically and quit responding to my ticket.

220w 3x3 coverage great reviews good customer service. What y’all think? This is upgraded version with ir. Don’t think this can be beat for $80.
