one of my two young plants is showing what kinda looks like light stress. im assuming she's wayyy too young to be nutrient deficient. my SF-1000 is at 60%, 75cm from the plants. her sister seems to be doing perfectly fine

I think it looks like it needs to dry out a bit. That being said. i HAVE the same light. If that were my plant now i'd have it 60 cm away, on full power. i use this table germination 60-75cm seedling 60cm full veg 40-60cm flowering 30-45cm So far I've only ever grew short lst plants but with these distances buds are pretty dense... Diffrent strokes. S

As a rule, I water as far out as the leaves are. I came up with that after running into overwatering issues.

Looks like a ph issue from possible too much water. For future grows having extra perlite can improve the plants resistance to being overwatered. Fabric pots is a good one which i see you got 🌱👍 good luck 🤞

I too think your light is OK. The soil in your pot is wet quite far from the plant which will slow evaporation from the wet soil in the center where the plant is, making it easier to over water.

Your fine with your light hight and power. It's possibly from water to frequently at this early stage.

hey there Val, i'm quite sure this isnt due to light stress. that's because you're not using a big kind of light. what it looks like to me , is a pH issue, probably due to a sort of slight overwatering issue. it's easy for this to happen , especially at this stage. You can tell from the splotchy sort of discoloration on the leafs and the discoloration on the tips of the leafs. it means the nutrients from the soil are "too available" to the plant . you need to make extra sure that you're following a strict wet dry cycle , you can even try misting these first few weeks , after all the roots arent really that big at this point, just make sure all the water droplets dont collect on the leafs and lead to magnification and light issues. Hope this helps ! 🚀
