Yes definitely too close for a seedling I would back it of to some where between 24-36” depending on how focused the light is. Seedling s need very little light to get started. Best of luck going forward

For LED's the ideal distance varies from model to model. I would put it much farther while it's a seedling, 24 inches, if you see them stretching, then get them closer

Got some minor leaf burn this week. Only a couple leaves, I thought it might have been from being manhandled during the LST training, but not sure. What do it look like to you?

Brown tips and edges, but not on all plants.2 out of 3 Kratky plants are showing some crispy brown at the tips and edges. Would I be seeing nute burn at 550-750 ppm? Why only 2 plants? Why only the Kratky but not the DWC? (Same strain.) (I am actually using GH FloraDuo A and B) Thank you!

Calcium excess, which led to potassium deficiency? Or just light burn? Or both? What's wrong with my girl? Please, help.I've been giving her BioBizz in accordance with the schedule, including CalMag. Using tap water (250-300 ppm). So my only guess is calcium excess, which led to potassium deficiency. However, only the main cola is affected now. So I also suspect light burn. What's your opinion?

continuing nute burn or deficiency now? biobizz lightmix +organic nutes | runoffs EC 1.8-2.5 | PH 6.3 | DLI 45 cca 10d ago, I found early signs of overfertilization. I reduced nutes, but yellowing continued. After a flush 2d ago, things got worse (now also edges browning). I now suspect potassium deficiency or still nute burn. Next watering is near—should I flush again or feed properly?

So I know I have an excess of nitrogin and that because I put to much nutes in the pre prepared soil. However, before the tips start burning, also on the leaves itself some burnt spots appeared. Could it be light burn? Thanks!

Can I use magnesium sulfate foliarly?Hello, this plant is at the beginning of flowering and apparently has a magnesium deficiency, right? Can I use 100% Mag Sulfate from the pharmacy via foliar treatment? I'm using Calmag 2ml/L but it's not having any effect. I should add Dolomite Limestone to the soil this week.

Deficiency?OK so my plants are in week 6 to 7 of flower. I'm seeing what I thought was a potassium deficiency. The nutrient line that I am using is Remo Nutrients. I added an extra bit of Astro Flower (which has the most amount of "K" in it) to the last couple of watering top ups. DWC.
