LED too powerful ?

As far as nutes I follow the directions to the T. I even tried flushing in between feedings thinking there was a build up of salt and nutes and that didn’t help either. I keep saying “ it’s not the light “ as well but that just doesn’t make sense. One more thing I forgot to mention. I have another light that I bought from a guy that was making them for some extra money. I had a few extra clones so I decided to use THAT light and they came out somewhat decent . I say “ somewhat decent “ because the clones were half assed but i didn’t seem to get that drying like I usually do. The next grow I do , I will use that light but I admit I just couldn’t comprehend the idea it could be the light along with what it cost me. Thinking just like most that have commented , it has to be another issue. I honestly have tried everything I can think of. Could the light be that “ good “ that it really isn’t that forgiving ? I called the light manufacturer again and he agrees that it’s not the light and he’s going to run it past his team as well.

Following FF feeding schedule if you cut the amounts in half

you can’t push plants but you can push fertilizer if you sell it

I’d double check calibration on ph meter and check ppms in your medium, that can build up very quickly

if you do figure out what’s going on please share.

I have even bought a few good PH meters thinking that was the issue. As far as PPM I’ve purchased a few cheap meters but I’m not big on checking PPM. I checked it a few years ago a few times and can’t recall the results but was told my numbers were good.
 
agreed try this @OP ....


I hear ya , but it’s in coco , I follow nute instructions along with good PH and PPM. I have tried so many combinations. I’m going to try just as I’m going but will use the other light. Thank you for your input , I’m writing down everyone’s posts to help remedy this.

Pics of your several ph meters and who told ya to try different light again?

I really think checking run off ppms is necessary unless doing flushes periodically. But if problem arises it becomes necessary again

There can be a build up of nutes inside your medium. You put 800ppm in and 2000ppm is coming out runoff.

can’t know unless you check and ppm of runoff years ago is not run off ppms today
