    Did my cheap QB wreck my plant?

    I had a hydro problem a while ago that had me scratching my head for a while. It was a GHE Waterfarm, which has a load of Hydroton in a tray on top. Nuits always looked ok as did the roots in the bucket. Problem turned out to be fungas nats in the hydroton. A Neem drench on the hydroton...

    Choosing an LED Light

    LEDS last 10years? LEDS last 10 year, is a bit of a strech. They start degrading the moment you light them, all be it at a very slow rate. I've seen estimates for typical grow cycles lossing 20% after 5 years. The diode might last for 10 years but the light output will be down the drain.

    Move lights further away or drop intensity?

    Thanks, I took a quick look and these are light bar type. These generally spread the light. The other possibiliy is under feeding plant

    Will this cheaper LED work?

    You will need the light close with that kind of light output. You want around 45000 lumens min for flower. 3500k you can use all the way from grow to flower.

    Will this cheaper LED work?

    I think you have some kind of PK issue, plant tops don't look right. Your lights seem a bit high also.
