if so that’s your problem and if they have 2switches on them u have to keep them both on at the same time to get the full spectrum out of them just to let u know many people don’t know that also u want to keep them 24 to 30 inches away from the top of the plant at all times
S

yes this my first grow and someone gave me the set up like this..what should I do further on?
S
StankyBerry5455

I would invest in commercial led lights I use ion led lights a bit pricey but well worth it and u have to keep air circulating really well fans excaust fan in top of the tent and open bottom vents to keep freah air moving to avoid heat stress and stuff like that

ion lights are 8 bar led lights that have dimmer switch on them to turn or lower light intensity on them but if that purple light has a switch that says veg and a switch that says bloom, you wanna keep them both on so you get the full spectrum out of it
G
GlazedHaze9291
ok yes they have that switch so run both on?
S
StankyBerry5455
yes turn both on it’s full spectrum with both on that’s most likely your problem
S

All the good LEDs newer LEDs don’t have that veg in bloom switch on them. The lights naturally have that built into the light so that is on all the time the full spectrum veg and bloom settings are built into it to where that’s constantly on the blue or the white or the red light, yeah keep both switches put on at the same time and you will see a big difference and keep the light 24 to 30 inches away from them

when your plant isn’t flowering when it’s in veg only use the veg switch but when flowering turn both on at the same time to get a wider spectrum of light ok yes turn both on when flowering

work with what u got & best to see if u like growing before buying all the equipment. I see a lot of people start out & buy all the equipment & then they decide it’s not for them & looking to sell everything . get few grows down & invest in a good complete grow tent. better off buying the better equipment rather then getting crap cause it was cheaper. long run u will be buying it all over again if u do .
