My 1st grow Diary

Thanks, what’s a good distance for LED lights, from what I’ve read 18-24 inches away from the plants is recommended. I currently have it at 18 inches.

Most LED manufacturers recommend 18-24 inches. I've heard people go as close as 14 though. It depends on your plants needs. If you go closer than the manufacturers specs use caution to avoid stressing your plants

It depends on the heat radiated from the LEDs you seem to have a lot of empty space being illuminated by the panels which is a waste of lumens. LED lighting does not produce much heat when compared to other types of lights (CFL not included) so they can be a lot closer to the plant. I use 4 separate 100watt LED illuminators at 4" max from the plant (I grow 1 at a time and I either grow small plants or keep them small) 3 lamps surrounding the plant and one above it. The heatsinks on the lamps do get quite hot so fans are still needed but the heat from the light is not much at all so they can be close to give the plant as much light as possible.
Also surrounding the plants with light gives the lower buds usually in shade a better chance of development.

With 100w leds that might be alright but I personally wouldn't go quite so close with 300w then again every plant is different so I'd recommend experimenting

Day 25, my two lowest leafs are a bit yellow and a brown tip. Photos aren’t coming out as clear. Hopefully these are good enough I’ll try for new pics soon. Any help will be great thanks.

Day 27, started feeding nutrients again she seems to need the help. Feed her on day 26 and she looks happier.



Also added a new one to the family, this is northern lights auto fem seed. She sprouted on 6/3.

Thanks, trying my best. It’s like I have a new baby and I look at her probably way more than I should.

Not sure what happened I fed her 1/4 (1/4 of a tablespoon in a Gallon) of the recommended nutrients. Thought since it was her 1st feeding I’ll again I would keep it low and build up. But now she’s all droopy. I feed her about 1/4-1/3 of a gallon and on Thursday she seems more awake and now today she’s droopy. Any help would be more than appreciated.
