drooping - whats going wrong?

Good afternoon,

So it's the first time trying out LEDs, and I'm showing signs of drooping and a day and a half of no sign of full perkiness.

did 1 light feed only

Aqua Flakes A & B 2.5ml/g
Silica 2.5ml/g
NUTS 2.5ml/g
Be One 2.5ml/g
Root Excel .5ml/g

Ph 5.93
PPM 440
Run off Ph 6.38

Constant temp at 75 F when lamp is on
High temp 77 F
Low Temp 54 when lamp is off

I believe i have plenty of fresh air with the fan setup im using.

Is it over feeding too soon? they're in coco+ so i dont think they're water logged. Are the lamps to powerful, or to close?

Any help would be great.









 
what is the distance from the leds? Are you using both already? They look small enough that maybe it's too intense for them. I drooped some young clones with my led recently. 300w(actual draw 140). I turned it off and put some T5's on em. They perked up and I slowly added the LED, raised up much higher than the T5's.

Gluck!

there is a minimum distance to maintain with all HID lamps not sure about led's but that gigantor morph leaf looks overwatered like a mug! How wet is your medium. what is your medium, temp, humidity, air circulation?

More info needed.

i would guess roughly a foot give or take. yes running both. i was thinking the same thing running some floros or cfls then introduce the led. the other two possibilities would be cold roots, or over watering.. I've never done coco before. thanks for checking in

i posted before i did my own homework, it does indeed look like over watering. they are in coco, getting the cab to stay 73-78 while light is on from 7pm to 1pm after that lowest recorded temp 54. air circulation is good. pots are heavy with water, but no water is in there run off trays. humidity i would have to get back in 5 mins with

They are starting to look better added a heat mat and havent watered.


heat mat ? dude take that shit out lol


you didnt mention your pot size from what I read you overpotted and there waterlogged.


Just let them dryout also try to keep your night temps the same as your day temps. cold weather will keep em moist longer.


unless the led is sitting right on the plant i dont think its burned. just oversaturated.


you were too rough on the girl. You gotta ease it in like when your about to put it in a girls.......


well you get the point lets just keep it at that



cheers

Ok so it has been quite a while since i updated this thread. the original 5 girls that weren't doing well got moved outside and i replaced them with new clones. running the same strain again minus the leds and a few cab changes.

overall moving them outside and replacing them inside turned out well. the bounced right back in about a week after moving. they did go right into flower so some early buds will come before the cab is done with the second batch.
