@D.j Got any pics in natural light ?
The purple doesn’t give true colours of leaves. :wink:
And welcome to ILGM.
:v::call_me_hand:

Edit : Look good from what I can see in the pics. A lil bit leggy but appear ok.
What light you running ? And how far away from the tops ?

Look alright so far. I’d get those watering bulbs out of there and just water when they need it. Cannabis likes a wet/dry cycle for best health when growing in soil.

Do you have some drainage holes in those buckets?

I agree with oldguy. Little bit leggy but looking healthy

For the veg part most use an 18 on 6 off.

And most blurple lights advertised at 2000 w aren’t. That’s usually the total of the led’s added up.
True watts is actual consumed from the wall.
Make / brand of light. Model ?

You can probably lower that to about 24 without issue but like to see make and model first.

Is there a data plate on the light itself?

Those watering globes /spikes that @Deez mentioned should be removed.
Get a feel for your pot weight and only water when lighter.
That way you’ll have a better idea as to when you should water.

I’ll try and get a support ticket up for you to fill out so we can help better.
Gimme a few. :wink:
