    Default I need help, new grow

    Hi, im a very first time new grower, i have just germinated and potted successfully 4 strawberry cake and 1 strawberry blue, they are a week old but the strawberry blue has all of a sudden gone from healthy to looking ill and the others have started to curl and dry at tips of the leaves, i was using 2 600w leds at 40inch as recommended, i now realize this is too much and i have reduced to one 6oow led and increased the height to 42 inch, the temp had also reached 24 - 25 c at one point which i also know is too high and i have now made adjustments to the surroundings so it shouldnt get that high again as it is all plugged in to a thermostat controller etc and humidity is at around 65, i also have pictures but for some reason it fails to upload even tho they are in jpeg format, if anyone can explain is this due to being a newbie on the forum or is it just not working atm? and would like someone to take a look at my pics and tell me what is going on mainly with the strawberry blue as im sure its just heat damage to the other 4 Many thanks in advance for any interest and replies

    Look fine to me fella, you dont need too much light at this stage, in veg I usually use a T5 and thats only 96w.

    Anything over 400w in veg is a bit of a waste really, goodluck

    thanks for a quick reply, the third picture doesnt really show how bad it is, it is all withered at the base of the right leaf and it has all dots all over it and just looks quite ill, looks worse up close in real life, and the tips started curling on the others as u can sort of see in the first pic, there was a fan quite close also which i have now moved, i bought 2 600w led and did have both on in veg at 40, now only using one and have raised it to 41, and the heat did get abit high, so u think it will be okay then and recover?

    Hi mate, I'm not sure what soil your using but if it's pre fertilized soil then it's just the plant getting settled. Your next set of leaves will be fine. 25/26 degrees isn't that bad any way mate. I believe they just had to much light to start. You should be ok from here. The fact that the different strain has reacted differently is also normal.

    How's your humidity with led lights?
    Maybe a couple of clear plastic cups misted and put over the seedlings can help for a week
