def no light leak... as to stress, they were going great in veg and in 12/12, but now 50 odd days in they are taking on this funky look... i reduced to 11 hrs on 13hrs of darkness yesterday... see if that does anything... the leaves are chock full of tricomes.... all of em clear..
That's good thinking, I have had that happen too.I have never used led for my grow in the past but I bought a bunch for shop lighting so I used one for germination. Anyway last night I got up and passed the cooler I have seeds germinating in and I could see some of the diodes were still faintly lit during the dark cycle so I removed it this morning and replaced it with the old fluorescent until they are big enough for hid..
interesting... I don't run led, I didn't know that was a thing.
It might be because they aren't designed for growing, I'm assuming quality ones don't do that. I have 2 other led grow lights that I was given but I haven't tried them
I don't know if I will ever go to led man. I like hid lighting, so far these cmh are impressing me. But veg is just starting here so we'll see. Up til now I ran all 600w hortilux, in blockbuster hoods.
honestly it makes me worry about the wiring in your house, man!
I don't care about the electricity cost and I have been using them for decades. My best quality weed is when I flower in july and august and put pots outside before work and bring them into the dark room when I get home,they like that sun.
Ive had a friend who's cheap timer would turn on for 30min of the day. One of the pins was faulty. If you have a dial timer have you rotated it by hand 24hours to see it's working Properly. Otherwise just basics of what others said would makes sense of light leak. Do you use humidifier/ dehumidifier , heater or ac or power plug in the tent with a light on it?
Did you clone it? Perhaps give one to someone else and see if they have that issue to rule out genetics..
