Thank you, i shall adjust as you sayu need the light about 30 inches away & turn down to about 65% until they recover/get bigger, also way too hot, they like temps between 70 & 80 degrees, & water every 3 to 4 days IMO, humidity around 50 to 60%
I feel like 40% is a bit better output than 65%Thank you, i shall adjust as you say
Thanks for the reply, the stretching was indeed a worry of mine in the beginning, i didn't have good enough lightning for them at the start so i went and bought a new lamp for them which cost me about 450€. They were practically 10cm sticks with no leaves back then. I also built a greenhouse since i thought at first it would be a good idea. It really wasnt, way too hot during the days even with only sunlight, i had to take some wall panels off each day to give them some breeze which then brought all the ants and mites and other insects inside the greenhouse. I then decided to built them a room inside my garage. Bought 1 extra 660w light to fill the room and made ventilation and everything as best i could but since there has been a heatwave and it's about 30+celsius outside every day the room still gets too hot even when i have aie cooler in the room where it takes the intake air from.I feel like 40% is a bit better output than 65%
Less is more until the plant is back on track, reason I say the 40% is simple, you can always give a plant more light if it wants, but it’s waaaay harder to have a light stressed plant get back on track while trying to get dialed in, than it is to drop a light or adjust up the output with a light stressed plant you have given a wide berth to. Also the plants are given a chance to harden off this way as you kick up the output a few percent gradually every other day in anticipation of flower. But the size they are now? I’d rock that 40% for a couple/few weeks, and start creeping it up, a week or so before flip. I’ve run all the big brands of lights and I never go passed 40% in veg. I never have my lights cranked to 100% in flower either. Gotta be careful with these lights in all stages of growth. Most runs finish at 70-75% range and around 26 inches post stretch phase. Homie above is right for sure on the height thing. And he ain’t wrong on lowering the output. Just maybe a little hot on the light still.
my veg room below for some context,
As you can see,
The height is at 30in above canopy.
And none of the plants are stretching crazy long making node spacing too long and they are wanting for nothing in terms of lighting.
31 different strains In There at the time.
So it’s a versatile approach that works well across the board.
Good luck homie.
I only gave them root juice and ugro backmagic at start and afterwards gave less than was recommended since i didnt see any defiancies. Of course my eyes cant spot or mind cant always tell the right situation and thats why im here.The weird one is just mutation- happens
Biobizz allmix have loads of nutes so I would be careful at the start with fertilizing.
some of them are a little bit burned from overfeeding apart from light intensity
it's a lot to take on for first timeso many plants
might give weird flower, might shake it off and grow normally laterI was thinking it might just be a mutation on the one plant, since it doesnt look that unhealthy to my eyes apart from growing as a bonsai tree.
You've mixed bio biz which is a soil with Coco coir which is a hydroponic medium, I've never seen that mixture go wellSo hello, im new to growing and this is actually my first time ever growing and thus first time ever posting here too. Im not native english speaker so i'll just try my best to explain both situation the best i can and luckily i have pictures which might help the cause.
I saw this fill in the answer- post on this forum which might also help

16. How much experience do you have growing?
I myself have zero experience before this grow, my girlfriend has grown em before but not in this scale. I now have 19 plants.
So i have 2 plants and both are acting very differently. This first plant grows vast amounts of leaves but they all stay very little, the whole plant is little and ive tried many things trying to get it to grow. It just keeps spawning new leaves.
And the other plants leaves are all wrinkly, even new leaves are instantly wrinkly and they appear as if someone has eaten the tips. No stressleaves though so far, they have 7 leaflets. No bugs to be seen, i have a microsope to check leaves.
I have not read anything bad from this mix yet, even the store clerk who sells all things needed for growing suggested this mix instead of just the allmix. My current mix is about 25% coco and the rest is allmix. Can you share a little information about how it would be a bad thing? All knowledge is welcome for future growthsYou've mixed bio biz which is a soil with Coco coir which is a hydroponic medium, I've never seen that mixture go well
I already told you the issue, they're TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MEDIUMS with completely different needs. I've seen it a hundred times. At only 25% coco recommend treating it as soil.

Sure they are different, i just never realized there'd be more downs than ups and never really thought about it that much since it was suggested in many places. This is just my first grow and there's gazillion things to keep in mind so this grow i'll be happy whatever i get so i can be smarter next grow. But i shall read about this topic more now since you guys seem to think it's better to not use it.I already told you the issue, they're TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MEDIUMS with completely different needs.

Keep in mind anyone working at a store it's they're job to sell and most will tell you anything to make sales. There's a wealth of info on this site from people who not only love to grow but also love to share and help others because we love this plantI have not read anything bad from this mix yet, even the store clerk who sells all things needed for growing suggested this mix instead of just the allmix.

This particular man has actually given me great discounts on the products i've bought without me asking, around 300€ worth of discounts to be more precise. So i bet it's not just about making money for himKeep in mind anyone working at a store it's they're job to sell and most will tell you anything to make sales.
