Seedling LED light stress??? AC Infinity EVO4

Smokenpassout · 2025-05-19T06:04:12-0600

Small seedlings 3 nodes just moved from CFL under AC Infinity EVO 4 after transplant to final pots. I see one seedling with minor leaf upcurling, at edge of leaf, this morning! I have turned light down to lowest setting of 10% down from 20%, although manufacturer says 40% for seedlings. Light is 25” over seedlings. Any tips for using powerful Leds over very tiny plants please share. A final observation seedling look a little pale green to me today. They have had one microdose of 1ml calmag, 1ml micro, 1ml grow. Last watering was plain for transplant. So Im thinking another microdose of nutrients in 4-5 days? Other variables temp 72-73 and humidity 65%. Please share your thoughts?

I would think it can take 20% light with 3 nodes.

A picture is worth a thousand words. I wouldn't expect 20% to be a problem with 3 nodes.

Ahh ok, Be interesting to put it beside an actual light metre, and see the difference, but they are too pricy for me from what i just looked up.

You can get the UNI-T lux meter for about $20. I use the $35 bluetooth version that pairs with the free PPFD Meter app, a nice setup.
Several have compared it to good PAR meters. There's good info in this thread and you can find many posts by searching Rollitup for uni-t.

Recommendation: Cheap PPFD meter?

Hookers and blow? I like the way you think. But does sound fun. Lmao

BTW, screw in LED's work well, but not as efficient as good grow lights.

I have an EVO 4 as well. I stopped using it for seedlings. I just felt that even at its lowest light setting it was too much. I gained a lot of success by switching over to the AC Infinity Ion beams for my seedlings. I know the Ion beams are for side lighting but they are full spectrum and have good led's in them. Hard to hurt your baby girls with them. Once they grow a bit I put them in the tent with the EVO 4.
