Light Stress?

Misanthropestarted grow question 4y ago

I'm pretty sure these leaves are drooping and curling from light stress but want 2nd opinion. Only on top growth, yellow tips on leaves from previous light stress, not sure if there's new yellow. Full nutrient regimen, water ph 6.0-6.5, watered 2 hours before pics

Looking at your lamp distance it is highly unlikeley that it is light burn, unless they're very powerful lights. Maybe some kind of nutrient lockout or overwatering? Good luck!

600w hps Wouldnt let me PM. I have a 5ft long 3ft wide 6ft tall white walled grow room and am thinking about a 600w HPS light now. Will this fill the entire room? If so how many plants should I plant? Will this one suffice? Would a 400w hps be more suitable for this space?

LED light distance Hey guys I'm kind of new to growing only been doing it for a little over a year. My girls grow really well they just don't get very tall I'm thinking it's because my lights are too close. Is this correct? Distance is 9 inches above canopy in week 6 growing critical 2.0 autos.

Too much nitrogen/water?I am having some trouble with a Sundae Driver phenotype. I have had this problem before and couldn't figure it out and thought I had corrected it with this grow by significantly reducing nutrients - currently on 3ml Canna A+B 1/3ml/l pk and 2 ml boost. Drinking 3-4l every 48hr
