ok so i have 2 plants and 2 lights wichever plant i have under the 190 watt light seems to be unhappy and is droopy. i am wondering if it is possibly drooping due too too much light or possibly the light not giving off full spectrum and it not getting enough light....... any ideas?

the 190 watt light is a grow light meant for weed plants i so i am assuming it is getting too much light..


any thoughts anybody?

i used a 90 watt ufo for just a few days and it didnt even put out enough light for seedlings. They just stretched out and fell over.But, that was about five or six years ago, so maybe leds have gotten better? After that experience, i dont ever want to use leds again...

I think they are crazy over priced and are for probably people that are either new to growing and dont know what they are buying, or maybe for people who know exactly what their doing and are able to use it to benefit.

Maybe try using cfls and see if that helps? Thats what i did. I spent 150$ on a 90 watt ufo, used it for a few days, then replaced it with a few cfls, then the seedlings began to grow properly.

how far is the light. It may be too close. Or most likely you are overwatering. You water less often under led.

there are quite a lot of shitty leds out there. But there are some that outperform hps at half the watts. They cost 3-4 times more the hps. They last 10 years and have very good warranties and customer service. In the long run cheaper th
an hps. Lower electrical cost, no bulb or ballast replacement. Proof is in the led section.

I agree with the overwatering if theyre droopy. Leds are no longer crazy expensive or useless. I made the swap recently with a 330 watt and a 180 watt actual pull led lights and the 180 was 130 bucks and ice been pulling more than a g per watt so i think thats good and i dont need any of the cooling i used on my 600 watt hps lights. Some pics would help people around let you know what the problem is. These guys are growing into my lights because they got too big so too much light seems like definitely not the problem. Id listen to hyroot here.

i used a 90 watt led on my last grow and it produced me 9 ounces off 2 plants now that i have added an extra led light it is seeming to get too much light. all i did was remove the one light they both bounced back wonderfully. when buying LED u have to research the spectrum u are buying if u buy a shitty spectrum u will get shitty results. i find the best led spectrum is a X5 used by nasa.
