Apollo 10s, and SkyWalker OG!

So here I go for my first real grow using 2 Apollo 10's spectrum and ratio of leds will be added later. I have 7 test seeds, and 20 Skywalker OG teens that are ready to be transplated to to 1 and 3 gal buckets of fox-farm ocean forest all of the girls are a little over a foot tall and have good looking roots!

So the first night after transplanting the plants started drooping and curling down, and the stems and veins turned reddish. The room may have been too cold, temps getting down to 68 and hoovering around 70-71 during the day, or it may have been nute burn from transplant? or the lights were too close?

The plants have not been watered for the last day and a half now, and the lights have been raised to about 55", and the temperature has been raised to about 77-79 and the plants look like they may be coming back to life.
I thought I might have to already delete this thread and trash the plants but im going to try and remain hopeful.. :/

more pics later!

Fortunately, mmj is very hardy

2 lights over seedlings would be too much. Height above is also a consideration for young plants

Warmer in veg, cooler in flower
 
The seedling plants started under the BS500 for their first 2 weeks, now they are under the Apollo's with the other 20 plants. the Skywalker OG plants still are drooping so im not sure whats going on, just waiting this out hoping there is nothing im missing. The seedling plants are growing strong but they were just tests and were not expected to produce much if they are even female. :( more pics of both:

Thoughts, or opinions? oh and there will be ZERO HPS or MH :D LED ONLY!

flush your plants and let them dry out a bit if they are drooping... drop them into flower and see how they behave... fuck em...
 
The temp was raised to 79-81 3 days ago, the plants were also flushed about 5 days ago, looking at the plants yesterday they appear to be coming back to life and raising. I also lowered the lights yesterday to about 18" from canopy and the plants appear to be responding by raising their leaves further and doing much better. ill include a still shot from my environment cam:

There is no such thing as an apollo 11 except for maybe a space shuttle. The apollos come from cidly.com contact a sales rep. The 10 has 10 modules with 15 3 watt diodes in each module. 150 x 3w. It pulls 367 watts. 360 to lights and rest to the fans.All the diodes are driven to 2.4 watts except for the UV and IR diodes. those run at 0.8 watts. Its foot print is 2 x 5 . I have an apollo 8 and wish I got the 10 instead.

they are looking a much more perky. I'd say for veg run it 2 feet away then drop to 18 inch in flower maybe do some lst or what ever
 
Hey everyone and welcome to the show! Hyroot is on the spot with the Apollo 10 LED lights that are direct from Cidly.com

The Skywalker OG was brought in as transplanted teens, you can see them in the first few photos. Soil is FFOF, the plants soil started drying out and plants have started to droop again so watering lightly today hoping to keep them in good health. I've also been lighting a tea candle once in the daytime and once at night.

more pics, things kinda look the same.. there are some yellowing leaves though :/

here are the yellowing leaves, im not sure why they are doing this, I also found what appears to be stink bug eggs and larvae surrounding the tip of a leaf, I am still looking for the adult.. :(

Further reflection im thinking maybe since the lights are primarily for flower this could be part of the reason i am having veg issues..

You think we can get a natural shot of your girl's problem?????? they look good overall, but you may have a def that needs to be fixed so it won't affect your yield........I'm leaning towards a phosphorous def/ which is a big problem during flower............what are your room temps(a cold medium will lock it out)? and your ph?
 
Hey first post- Joined to hang around in the led section. Looking forward to grabbing two Apollo 10's also. When you you get the chance i'm curious of your set of lens' and the degree. Spectrum Ratios. Oh and how loud are the fans. Comparable too? Whats the Tea Candle used for?

Yeah, I would ask the same question as thesolarbarge... I myself am going to be purchasing two Apollo 10's in the next couple weeks. I am pretty sure that I'm going to go with a 90° lens, but am unsure of the combination of spectrums to use.

I would be interested to know what spectrums to get for my two flowering leds, and what spectrums for my one vegging led... All are gonna be Apollo 10's...

Plants looking good miker...definitelu gonna keep an eye on this grow..

SUBBED..
