Hey guys , I'm having lighting issues. My plants are 20 days old and I want to increase the power from 60 percent to 75 percent . But they wilt for some reason. I just raised the lights all the way up and increased the power to see what happens. Any suggestions ?

Add humidity. My GSC's edges are curled because I keep letting my humidifier run out of water. The relative humidity gets too low (for the current temperature and nutrient concentration) causing the plants to transpire too quickly for their size. Try targeting a VPD less than 1.

I had similar issues with my new light, I'm hanging higher than mars hydro recommend and still only running at 70-80%. It's just about finding the sweet spot and the correct ppfd/lux. There is an app for your phone called ppfd meter, I don't know how accurate it is but it does give you a rough idea of how much light your plants are receiving, give it a go. 👍🌱💡

They are wilting because the light is too strong. Raising it should help but full power may be too much at this stage. Maybe try full power in a couple weeks when the roots are more developed.
