New LEDs kicking my A**

So I updated one of my rooms to 8 of the gavita 1930e as well as 2 de hps for a total of 10 lights. Running my standard mix of coco loco mixed with 70/30 coco perilite that I always use and AN sensual coco which I’ve been using for years as well. Temps are 82-83 degrees and humidity is 65-70%. I transplanted like always when I moved the plants into the bigger room. The plants didn’t like the brighter room at all combined with company being here and me being in a hurry they might have gotten overwatered early after the transplant. But it’s been a week and half and the plants while still growing look like absolute hell. The stems are red, leaves turning yellow, purple, or just necrotic. They have picked up their drinking some.

My par is readings are around 450 and that’s as low as I can get it, with the Gavita controller, for some reason their controller only runs to 50%.

I have been feeding higher ppm than I normally would under the de hps I was running since the par levels are higher.

Any help would be appreciated.

What percentage r u run led @
50%
You pop a few out snd have a peek at the root development? Sounds like they are locked out from the description you typed.
They are in fabric pots and were just transplanted like 1.5 weeks ago so can’t really get em out without a big mess.

I was thinking of flushing them with a few gallons of nutrient solution plus cal mag, but I’m worried about how long they will take to dry back out if given that much water. But yes since I haven’t been able to get them to drink very fast I haven’t hit much run off at all they are prob locked up. They have picked up on drinking lately, but still not like I’m used too.

I picked up an adapter to run my lights from the trolmaster, should be able to dim them some more, gonna hook it up when lights come back on in a bit. I’m thinking lowering the par level some. What do you guys think for par level and c02 levels at this point?

Try 62 - 65 % with light at least 2 feet away no closer
The lights are as high as I can get them a good 4 ft or more away, problem is I’m just not used to this much par. Also I was watching some videos that said to just up your total ppm instead of adding cal mag, but it was a different nutrient line, I think I’ll drop my ppm of base and add some cal mag as they don’t seem to like their feed at all.

Plants are doing much better I didn’t take any pics tonight, but at day 11 I’ve got quite a few plants already as tall as I wanted em. 30 inches from the lights. I have one or two plants that were further behind (health wise) than the others but it took me so long to get these healthy before flipping that I just couldn’t wait any longer for one or two plants.

Here are the last pics I took but theses were taken 6 days ago, I’ll get more pictures soon since they have grown so much since I’ve taken these.
