    Default veg & bloom lights/switches

    i swear this grow was doomed from day 1..here we go. after last grow 1 of my 1000w cheap led's died, so this time i replaced it with a quality brand, less watts but more quality was my thidnking. so bought a VIPARSPECTRA 450W LED Grow Light, with Veg and Bloom Switches, Full Spectrum Plant Growing lights for Indoor Plants Veg and Flower. my normal seed site was down/dead (discreet seeds), so tried another(discount cannabis seeds), they sent me 9 seeds instead of the 5 i paid for but only 2 germinated, im used to 100% success .So i started using the new led (VIPARSPECTRA) selecting VEG from the switches leaving bloom off, as i was growing auto flower i switched on bloom(veg and blooom) after a week or so, everything was fine but when flower was due there was little or nothing, im at week 10 when they are due tocrop and the only one that has buds is the one under the cheap 1000w led, so i can only think it was my fault for leaving the veg lights on? if thats the case do i just turn off veg, leave on bloom and wait for 6 weeks or so?start again and use the veg/bloom differently?


    viparspectra on the left, 1000w on the right..the 3rd plant is a northern lights they gave me free..(1 at back)

    Flush those ladies out man . Theyll bounce back . Not all is lost .

    After flush . When she needs a water . Use half the nutes you were using and go easy on pk boosters . Use those in moderation

    Sound the way to go,im thinking do that, order more seeds and wait a little...i have turned the veg light off, leaving only bloom...these are auto flowers @ just over 10 weeks for the 2 plants on the front and 9 weeks for the lady at the back.. in the future going to try veg lights for the 1st week, then put it on bloom light only...right/wrong/maybe?
