I'm honestly not sure yet, but keep checking back in and thanks for watching...

Can you show a pic of the light? I have 2x 300 WATT LED lights. Got them here http://www.growlightexpress.com/led-...-light-83.html

__________________

your shit's growing slow either because you A: have poor soil conditions, B: LED light sucks, im doing a grow with LED and mine works I didn't check your original light I just scrolled fast. Or C: You're overwatering

PS: I got 5 slh's 120w led 6500k shop light, 42w 2700k cfl, and zoo mega-ray UVB light which i highly recommend you do some research on, it increases trich production and potency. It's frosted mine in week 2 out nicely, and only in one week just wear sunscreen and protective gear if ur safe (im dumb and dont). Here's a link to my journal ill update soon the pics. They're growing like mad.

Also get some quality soil
Fox farm ocean forest is 20 dollars a bag and it's great stuff. Start the seedlings in perlite and Fox farm light warrior, then half and half for the gallon or 3 gallon bucket you'll be transplanting into.

I made all these mistakes and I had to find the solution or answers like everyone else. I wish I had someone to post this information when I started up haha

I'm going to go with option C: overwatering!.
one of those simple things, but I just didn't think about the rate of evaporation being different without the heat from HID lights and was still on the same watering schedule. didn't figure that out until transplanting to 1gal earlier this week...

my soil is pretty decent, you may have missed it previously but I know the soil I used was either Ocean Forest or Filthy Rich. of course, some LED lights DO suck bad, and while I don't think it is the case with this one, it is definitely a possibility...

yours are also from seed yes? these ladies are now three weeks from seed sprouting, I'm willing to attribute any lack of growth to my previously mentioned mistakeries than to the LED light. I honestly think they love this light; it even helped bring back my last MA seedling from the brink of death. time will tell, and that is my purpose with this...

anyway, I really appreciate all the info you posted here (I will def check out that UVB light!), thank you. subscribing to your journal and looking forward to how both our grows turn out...

My plants from seed are doing pretty darn good for only 5 days since they were put in toilet paper... I suspect they'll catch up with the progress of this grow within another 3-4 days. Other growers (Irish) are having excellent results using our 126W LED's for veg. The problem isn't the light, I guarantee it.

dont worry LEDGirl, im not here to disparage your light. quite the opposite... it would be a lot more helpful to me if you made suggestions (being the experienced user with these lights) rather than telling me how ahead your grow is... props to Irish, I've been watching that.

anyway all, I've made some environmental changes in my room; I don't believe there was enough air circulation so I put up a fan I had previously taken down. the soil could have used some more perlite mixed in, water is not leaving the soil as fast as I would like. hopefully better circulation will bring things back around. slh2 is responding well, and I will give slh1 some time to catch up...

Fujin,

I would have more input if I could see more. Right now I can't see where the light is at in your pictures, and your plants seem to be really dim if it's at 8". Also, I am very unfamiliar with dirt growing personally, so I'm not much help in that department. My current grow is also the first I've done from seed in about 3 years, so I'm not expert on seed growing (always do clones). Anyhow, I didn't mean to come off in a negative way, quite the opposite. Just re-assuring that the light does great for veg, so once your others issues get situated, they should start taking off. Sorry that I may have come off differently.

Hope things get better soon and that someone might be able to assist you better with your soil situation than I can.

Hey man, how are they growing now? I didn't think about it, but early in my grow when they were seedlings I mixed 50/50 and the soil was still a little hot in my opinion. When I clone I'm going to give just straight light warrior a try. I did take one clone already 4 days ago and I'm trying to root it with just honey and rockwool in a glass jar (lazy). But I do have exciting news, I'm going to get the ebb and grow system pop it up 2 600w lights, possibly invest in 2 spinner hydroponic systems and some other things so get excited. I updated my journal last night w/pics so go check it out man and let me know what you think. Click Here

hey guys just seen this and i was wondering whats ur temps like? if it cold put a heating mat under ur pots, the heat will make ur roots go crazy.
also IMOP i wouldnt use fox farm soil, i know i know every one and their babys mom uses it, but if you can check out this stuff called sunshine mix #4, get that and you will never go back to fox farm agian.

i sure u already know but mix perlite in ur soil next time if its cold? whats the ph like? the only other thing i can think of is maybe temps too cold? little too much water?

always keep a fan blowing on ur plants keeps fresh co2 moving to them and also make your stock bigger and stronger, be careful not to have the fan too much on them or youll get wind burn and strees them out.

let me know some of this info and ill see if i can help.

good luck!

funny you should mention these things, did you have some of the same problems in the beginning? I did most of the things you mentioned above (put fan back up, cut back on the water, and raised the temp) back when I put them in 1gal and they are responding great. I will throw up some more photos tonight.
thank you for that tip about the heat mat, I was wondering how to counter the temp at night (dropped to about 67F last night), but the day temp stays in the high 70s, humidity low 30s to low 40s.

I'm actually not using FF soil, it was some stuff I picked up called Filthy Rich; not sure how I feel about it so I think I will check out that Sunshine mix. thanks.
now off to check out your progress...
