In case anyone else runs into this, I've give a breakdown of what I've learned about my grow up to this point. Kingplus led 4000w is a stupid strong light. If you've got the room, this thing is probably amazing. Problem is at 5.5ft from plants (light mounted to ceiling and plants pushed as far from it as possible is still 310-350 ppfd. Poor babies are still cooking under it. I ordered 2 kingplus 1500w led lights that should work much better. At 30in they are 427 ppfd. So at roughly 36in they should be good for my seedlings. May have to get a couple more when getting into flowering to thoroughly cover my grow space. I moved them out of my grow room for now and am opening the blinds to let mother nature help till the lights come in. Could be wasting my time, but my hope is that they will at least be in a recovery state by the time my lights come in (about a week). At least I will know I'm not gonna be cooking them any more in the mean time.

LetsGrowSomestarted grow question a year ago
My girls were doing great growing fast until they hit light burn. Growth was immediately stunted for days. I think I have my light problem solved for now, but how long should it be before growth ramps up again? Anything else I should do?
Solved
Leaves. Edges burnt

Es ist richtig, was @massivetids sagt. Aber die Lichtstärke in Lux zu messen ist veraltet, denn sie gibt die Dichte der Photonen nicht an. Diese ist für die Pflanze aber viel Wichtiger als die reine Lichtstärke in Lux. Googlen sie danach für mehr Informationen. Der PPF Wert ist hier entscheidend. Für fast jeden Hersteller gibt es dafür Tabellen im Internet. Suche "Lampe + ppfd map".
150 - 300 ppfd -> Keimling
400 - 600 ppfd -> Veg
600 - 1000 ppfd -> Blüte

Hey, seen ur Q. Curious.. did it just turn out like tat r was it due to stress from be transplanted?
Edit
Looking at your seedling..they're burnt to bits mate. You need to start them in 0 EC for the 1st few days. Soil way to hot.

@gottagrowsometime, also my diary is off. I hate that you can't go back and edit it. The nutes I gave early on were per gallon not per liter. Can't change it. The nutes giving now is not 2 mag supplements, but the bloom, silicone, and a separate cal mag. Deleted wrong one.

@gottagrowsometime, yeah they got burnt big time. Not from nutes though. From putting a 4000w light down to 36 in away from seedling. Manual supplied with lights was wrong. 36 in is 1000 ppfd. Manual was generic to all their lights. From 200w to 4000w. Terrible company, but strong lights. Cooked all my plants is like 2 hours as seedlings. That one never bounced back. Thinking it may be root bound due to too much compost in mix also. Due to previous stress from light, just let them all ride with no LST or defol or trying to fix. Figured they have been stressed enough and enough yield already lost. Thanks for your insight in questions though. I can use all the help I can get lol.

In relation to your question on stretching, this week gives me more perspective, look at the stretching in the first plant, in addition to pruning with a plan, adjust the amount of nutrients you are applying, the stretch on the seedling in the first picture is not where it should be at that stage. You are using silicone, some concentrate, a general-purpose formula, and a magnesium booster. A lot of that is probably used by the plant during the flowering stage. You might be following the instructions in terms of amounts applied, but I would say that even in flower you should only be applying between 5 and 8 ml of solution per unit of medium. The rest you can learn at a bio class. Or check me out for a fee. go to class bruh
