2 of my White Dwarf auto's popped up. Neither of them are looking healthy

Not having good luck with these damn autos. I did them the same way as the others and ... well they're not looking great. I'll give them a couple of days under CLF and see if they pop to life a little better.

The others are under the Solar Storm! 18/6 about 20" away right now. I'm slowly lowering a few inches each day to try to get them in the 10-12" range without burning them.

If you have enough airflow and it's cool enough at the top of the canopy then you should be able to get it that low or lower but that distance would affect how much area the light would be able to cover effectively too.

Looks like grasscity doesn't allow external linkage to their pictures...

Nice looking job bro!

1 note though, that light is way too close. At this age I wouldnt even put them under it, but if your gonna, get it as far away as you can. Never go any closer than 12in. I even have burn marks/bleaching on some of my buds that are 12in away. They actually do better the farther away they are. For the most part mine are at 18in.

What are your temps like? h

I think the picture is making you think it's closer than it really is. They're at least 18" away, I don't see bleaching yet.

Temps are good, holding mid 70s with lights on, mid 60's off.

Lol, ok cool. From my view it looks like its 4in away. You know some people think that because they don't put out any heat they can put the light right on top of the plant. I wouldn't have it even at 18 for there first week.

Those temps are awesome, lucky you! Peace. h
