So I changed my lights from a cheap 1500 watt LED (300 actual I think) to a gavita 750 de. I posted some pics. Almost instantly they started drooping. However, the smaller plants seem to love it. The bigger plants are bag seed. They are not handling it well. The small ones are sour diesel and they seem to flourish under it. It's a little warm in my tent. 84 is the hottest it gets tho. It's been about 4 days now. Any thoughts? IMG_20180717_073217302.jpg IMG_20180717_073207682.jpg IMG_20180717_073202504.jpg IMG_20180717_073152257.jpg

you need to harden them off, it's like you took them from under a light bulb and stuck them under the sun, they're shocked.
set them as far from the light as you can, even outside the door of the tent for a day or two, give them a few hours of the new light at a time, build them up to full exposure over 4 or 5 days

Will do. Thanks for the advice. Much appreciated!

The ones in the blue pots look overwatered. I'd say you need to transplant those to a larger pot ASAP. 3 or 5 gallon. Then try to water every 2-3 days.

The ones in the brown pots look better, but i'd still transplant those as a well.
Thanks for the reply. It's my first grow and I'm learning a lot. I definitely over watered them. Will transplant ASAP.

Not a problem, that's what this forum is for. I learned a lot here, just spend some time reading on here and you will learn a lot. Especially the pinned threads at the top of the forums, you can learn A TON of valuable information that way.

Good luck to you the rest of your grow! They are pretty tough plants, they should recover just fine.
