Hey guys, Im on my first grow with some feminized seeds i ordered online. I germinated 6 seeds, Jack Horror, Raspberry Cough and Papaya: 2 of each. Unfortunately one of the papayas did not germinate so right now I am about 2-3 weeks in with 5 plants. My plants are being grown in my closet under an LED I purchased(link below) My Jack Horror plant has started becoming brownish yellow at the tips and curling upwards!? this is happening on my Papaya plant as well. i put a very small amount of organic bone meal from the start. yesterday(19th) I switched them out of their previous containers and transplanted them into a larger ceramic potter. While transplanting them i did notice roots running along the bottom edge of every plant(container too small?). I water them just about every other day but not too much). Any recommendations on: feeding cycles, nutrient addatives, lighting options and more would be much appreciated! for plants sake HELP!!!!!!!!

Yeah, especially if it was 3-4" closer than it already is. try 24" away from the top of the plants.

+1, 240W of focused leds is a lot for 5 babies. Circulating air into the closet will help bring the temp down, if you're not already.

the light was actually about 2 inches lower thinking back, but i will raise it to about 2 feet, and yes i do have a fan about 3 feet away blowing directly above the light, not directly on the plants which moves them so theres defintiely air flow. thanks!

I would consider it underpowered for flowering. But if that's all you got, that's all you got. Your main concern will be growth, they'll get much taller and that light needs to keep a safe distance, 16-24".

well i do have access to a 150 HPS and a 400 watt metal halide that i could switch to for flowering. i would like to keep it under the LED as long as possible though. Also my room does get very dry, could a lack of humidity harm my plants?
