I don’t think your issue was lighting.
It could be more a genetics thing and something completely out of your control.
Or you had some sort of light leak maybe during the night period?
I doubt your choice of light was the culprit.
I think you just need to start fresh with some new beans and continue what you were doing before.
I’m probably not much help on this one.

Your LED's almost certainly are NOT 600 and 1600 watts. Usually those big "equivalent" numbers are marketing crap. You need to look at the actual wattage consumed by the light.
If just using your HPS I want about 40 watts per square foot. For modern, white LED's I want 35 watts per foot. So depending on the size of your grow area you can estimate how much lighting wattage you need.

Could anybody please suggest which LED light they would recommend for a 4x4 grow.
Willing to spend around £500 maximum as I really want to invest however most videos on YouTube are marketing their own. Really appreciate your advice.

Too much light or PH imbalance?I dont know, something strange about the color, the spots on the leaves maybe? suggestions accepted. Maybe I need to add a fan ASAP, or let more air into the tent?
Dimmer is sset to 20% 25% , maybe I should give more light? or maybe less?

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent?
I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.Other. General questions

Got a Mars Hydro TS600, will it do alright?My plan is to grow only 1 plant, in a 40x40x120 tent. I know the tent is pretty small but hopefully i can do some training on the plant to grow wide
Will the light do until the end? 100wats, but no light dim possibility. Currently growing seedling at 13 dli at 60 cm

Lighting cycle for VEG stage. Is 24x7 OK?Hi,
Should I use the VEG lights 24x7 from the time I plant my seed until it's ready to bloom, or would something like 18 hours on and 6 hours off make more sense? Is there a "best practice" for veg lighting? It has worked for my first 3 grows. VIPARSPECTRA 600W LED
Thanks,

SeedlingsWoke up this morning and she’s grown a bit from yesterday. 4cm tall now. HLG 135 was dimmed (to a level that was comfortable to look at, I have no way of measuring output right now) and is 26” away. I know it’s early but I have no experience!

Grow lightsI'm currently looking for a new grow light. But it's crazy how many choices there are. Since my grow area is very small, 40x40cm or 1x1', I don't need a lot of wattage.
So would prefer to invest in quality over quantity. Any suggestions?Week 11

Light scheduleSo I got a new timer and messed up schedule. Plants got 16 hrs of light, turned lights out as soon as I noticed (5am).
11am-11pm light.(5 weeks into flower)
Should I let plants have 12hrs dark now and resume 12-12 , or let lights come on at 11am(6hrs dark)
