Are you ready to play... Guess the Deficiency!

how far away are the lights? it's a common misnomer, this "praying" to the lights,... in fact, it's the plant telling you the light is a bit too intense; they deal with that by angling the leaf up so the light hits at a steeper angle, less directly,... seedlings need less intense light! ....20-24" is fairly typical for strong lights.... this could be why they are a bit pale....
The lights are 32" from the top leafs. And the leaves don't seem as light as they were. It may be just the genetics...I don't know. As far as the praying this goes... I have heard both sides equally. Some say it's good some say it's not...I'm confused...lol.

On a side note; this is my second grow using this set-up with the same seeds (LSD-25 from fastbuds) and the light is as high as I can get it in this tent. My first grow had no issues with the lights in the same place...so I am stumped. The plants are growing and looking strong though.

... I've not seem the praying posture be directly detrimental, but it's a clear indication of borderline levels... so I guess it both good and bad! She'll toughen up as she matures soon enough, but those are powerful lights, watch your distances, do what you can, and watch for the signs of actual light stress, like margin "teeth" pointing up, edge curling,...
:thumbsup:- feeds,..doubled from what before, and of what again?

better! now let's see how she responds for a few days or so,....

OK @Waira so I also raised up the light a few days ago from 32" to 40" (the highest it can go) because of the "praying". Now she is stretching big time! She is growing well but with 3" between nodes it is getting a bit lanky (see pics).

BTW this is day 24. She is already 11" tall. Considering doing some lst to help control stretch. I also have a 12" fan oscillating but pointing away from the plants in ordr to strengthen the stems. Humidity sitting at just under 60% and lights on temp sitting at around 78 and lights off temp at around 72.

....32" was fine, I didn't say to raise them even more,... your manufacturer will have recommended distances as well,... lower the lights to where they were again at 32".... at day 24, she's overdue to start stretch anyway,... do you see presex signs yet?
