Got a King Ho Tep on each side to compare for the side by side. Each will be taken care of the same an weighed at the end for results.

Hydrogrowled 126X Test grow

- Start date
Lowered the HGL light to 24" and put it on 3w. The light does not cover the 2'x3'. I will post up more pics tonight.
Thanks

Thank you for also posting photos to show us the issues you were experiencing. Water, when sprayed onto a leaf will sometimes create droplets. If this occurs under intense light (like X2) the water acts like an additional lens, increasing the intensity even further. When this happens the light now has the ability to burn/damage your plants. This may be the cause of the issue and may not be happening on the Advanced side simply due to a lack of intensity. It has no spectral relevance.
I would suggest that in the future you foliar spray 1/2 hour before you turn your lights on, much the same way that most commercial farmers spray their outdoor crops in the early morning or late evening when the intensity of the sun is at its weakest (or has just passed the horizon).
If you are still noticing an issue, then it is likely nutrient related. For example the issues you showed resemble Magnesium and Manganese deficiency:
Magnesium deficiency traditionally affects older leaves first. Leaf tissue between the veins may be yellowish, bronze, or reddish, while the leaf veins remain green.
Manganese Deficiency symptoms include: necrotic and yellow spots form on top leaves.
We keep in touch with many growers using our lights and do our best to help whenever someone is experiencing an issue such as this. Hopefully our advice will help improve your grow overall. I can't say we've seen this occurrence many times, but every once in a while a grower does come to us with a concern such as yours. Thank you again for sharing.
Yesterday was the first day i foliared so your assumption is incorrect on the magnification factor of water droplets. I'm well aware of that happening an thats why i turned the light all the way down to simulate evening conditions for an hour while they dried up. An like i said it started b4 i was foliar spraying.
I got no clue what it is but its going away slowly as of this morning. The droopy plant is coming back since i dropped the epsom salts i was giving at 1/4 tsp per gallon. Its weird cause they dont like it on the HGL side Bit like it on the Advanced side. Droppin it all together till they ask for it.

New light, new learning curve with different spectrum an intensity.
Can't why this issue was happening but they are turning around after ditching the epsom salt an foliar feed.

Big difference now, zero droop an the Black Widow is getting color back...

At the rate they're growing I can see already that the HGL side is going to pull ahead by the end of next week, if not sooner.

Hey Arthritis Sucks - the plants are looking much healthier and happier. I'm glad you were able to figure out the cause of the issue and want to thank you for supplying feedback. I look forward to following the rest of your grow.
I'll check tonight what the 126x is.
I had to chop 3/4 of my flowering plants. The Black Widow an 2 King Ho Teps had not shown preflowers before the flip so they went in anyway. Checked last night an they were male, so 3 of the clones that got flipped were phenos off the 2 King phenos that were males. Down to 1 big ass King Ho Tep female an her 3 lil clones. She was the only one that shown preflowers b4 the flip.
My apologies for not getting this right. I now have elite clones to run next round an will still do a side by side of either gods gift or gg4 on each side. In the meantime I can still show members what this light can do if anything, with whats left. Sometimes life serves ya up a plate of shit. I'm ordering all my cloning supplies in a couple weeks so when its time to take cuts off the gods gift an gg4, everything will be in order.
Sorry for letting everyone down that was following. I will still be updating an showing how this light works. As of now its 1 big King Ho Tep on the HGL side and 3 clones of the same female pheno on the advanced side. The blue advanced led jas been turned off. I'll put up pics later today.

This is all that is left from the late showing males I hoped were females. I moved the big King Ho Tep over to the HGL side an she took off.
hey Art,
don't stress about it, it's all good. it can happen to anyone, not your fault. there's always next run for a proper side by side.
I'm still looking forward to seeing those ladies flower under them leds
peace!

Appreciate the kind words my canna brother.

Hey Arthritis Sucks,
Sad to hear you had so many males in the mix. Glad to hear you have some elite clones going for the next round and look forward to seeing it. Plants are looking nice and you should get a respectable yield out of that King Ho Tep.
I did have a question if you don't mind, why did you turn off the Advanced blue light?

Too much power for so little plants.
It will come back on if I put the Poli Purps f1's from seed an some killer queen clones i just transplanted into flower as they are 8 week strains an the King Ho Tep is a 10-11 week strain. Power is so expensive here so no need to have it on till then.
