That was only for the purpose of taking the picture. They will not/can not be outside, the outdoor growing season where I am is over. They are in a 4x4x6 tent.
The Light is positioned correctly, I don't use cfls nor do I really care to tbh.
The bottoms are wet I explained that, the picture doesn't show the bottom of the pot it shows the plant.
Thank you for the input though I'm pretty sure the problem is figured out for now. I will give it another day or two and see what happens and then go from there. I will see if I can find a picture of the pot itself to clarify.

well how far is the correctly positioned light away from the plant? Educate me.

How is the problem figured out, what was the problem exactly, what was the solution?

They r most likely just over watered, like I said the bottom of the pots are wet. I put them on a rack so they can get better air circulation and dry. The light is about 12" in away if I had 2 guess maybe 10" min.

I've heard people say they should be 18-24" but im not sure this particular light is a true 1000w, its bright but seems like it could be brighter

if I can find a pic to pot of the pot you will understand why I am pretty convinced that its from the soil being too wet, I'll see what I can do

Ok is the led at full strength or something is it dimmed down????

I hope so cuz a 1000 watt led light at 12 inches away is just to put it bluntly = is fucking crazy.

That plant with a 1000w led should be 3 feet away / or more 3.5 feet - its an led. And I know you said you dont like cfl but I dont get why you are spending the money for that size plant with that size light. But whatever.

that isnt your problem

If you read my first post I was getting at that the bottom of the cardboard pot will look wet and probably be wet because of gravity and that water is wet and all. You pots dont look over watered to me at least the top of the soil it doesnt .

ehh looks normal to me.
I want to see a pic of the 1000w led burning the plant. What you have is light stress/light toxicity.

Interesting..U seem so certain. I was under the impression that light stress turns leaves white/bleached. They look more warped and yellow than light and are not dry/ crispy. I was pretty sure it was too much water Also, it was much worse looking earlier today/last night. In the pic I showed u it seems to have dried a bit.​

lol I was guessing how far but now that I'm looking at it directly in front of me its def more than that ( :eyesmoke:) but it may be still too close, and no it is not @ full power. And I didn't just go out and buy this, its what I had available. The tent is 4ft x 4ft x 6ft, 1000w LED should be fine and there is more than one plant. I plan on running 6 or so at a time, these are what germinated from the seeds I popped. 2 didn't pop and I have more. The two that are visible in the pic had a head start, one just broke ground, and the other two germ'd but im still waiting.

well I dont know what power it is set at so...one thing I would do is raise the light up as needed and slow the grow and let them recover. That would be my advise to you as far as that.
Party on.
