Help what's going on here

[HairyPotthead420]

Can anyone tell me what is going on here
have been following the user manual for the light I am using. The substrate is a coconut husk and potting soil blend started off well now seems to have slowed down. Soil is dry down half an inch maybe a bit further.

Do you have drainage in the pot ?
what about perlite or leca in your medium?

[HairyPotthead420]

Yeah I have a hole in the bottom of the pot. There is a small amount of perlite in the pot. It was a mix of coconut husk and merical grow like. 3/4 husk and 1/4 grow

[CaptainWiese91]

You need more than one hole.
Not enough oxygen can‘t get to the roots - and I think the drainage isn’t as good as it could be.

Did the soil have nutes in it? Looks like it might be nute burn, but I can't see your picture all that clearly.

[HairyPotthead420]

The site will not let me upload a better quality picture. It's a 3/4 coconut husk and 1/4 miracle grow potting soil mix

HairyPotthead420 Miracle Gro is a no no for cannabis: https://www.growweedeasy.com/soil

I see no perlite, may be to wet for the roots, but dont overlook bugs!

[HairyPotthead420]

Would you suggest replanting it in happy frog?

[Rwise]

HairyPotthead420 and 30 - 50% perlite, in a cloth pot (or at least a bunch of holes)
Was the MG for veggies or potting soil? The veggie mix is ok, the other has time release N added

I'm also growing a critical mass. I'm guessing it's a tall strain because it was reaching for my light. But now is trying to bend away from it.
light I'm using is a Vipar Spectra. Dimmable series. I'm following the manual keeping it 37" away from the plant. On a 12 / 12 light hour and a veg 60% dim and bloom 30% dim. Temp is between 24 to 27c. Humidifier going in there and a small fan. I have not had this trouble before with other plants

[CaptainWiese91]

What size of Vipar you have ?
I have R900 and I think mine it’s 40cm from the canopy.
I just look at my plants , if they stretch I move it closer to the plants. In the tips are starting to burn, I move it further away

[HairyPotthead420]

Mine is a DS600 600W

[HairyPotthead420]

I think it's either that or 1200w. I'll have to check

[Rwise]

What is the actual wattage, the mfg spoof wattage doesn't count. My Mars Hydro TSW 2000 is 307 actual watts.

[CaptainWiese91]

Full spectrum is used 380 mine

[HairyPotthead420]

It says it's a 600w that is what the box says how do I tell what the actual watt is?
They are in my window right now and doing much better so I feel like it is my light and trying to figure out the right distance.

[CaptainWiese91]

I should be on the light bro.
I have a sticker on the side of my vipar- it says the actual wattage used in full spectrum.
But for small veg plants I only use the veg bottom, when I switch to 12/12 I put full spectrum on, and for autos it’s the same. As soon as I see white pistils, I turn both veg and bloom on

[HairyPotthead420]

How far is it from your plants?

[CaptainWiese91]

40 cm from my plants
