health Leaves are white/yellow/bright

[Saphira]

Hey,

the leaves of my chilis looking very unhealty.
I am not sure whats exactly wrong with them.

Should i give them fertilizer or are they to cold?

I think it is even more worse since i put them in the tent with LED.
The tent is in my sleeping room and there is it colder.



I think on these photos the chili looks even healthier than in the reality.
In real the leaves are brighter.

I think I need a better Camera-App for my android.

Thanks and greetings
Saphira


EDIT: Normally I would say that is definitively missing of nutrients, maybe calcium or other?
But I gave them new earth and was making the "old" earth away because it was to wet and I ordered perlite.

It was just round about 2 or 3 weeks ago...

My guess would be too much light. In my experience, the guides which new growers follow vastly underestimate the power of artificial light which is now common. Burning or stalling under the lights is more common than suspected, I think.

The symptom in between “just right” and “obviously burning” is “looks pale but okay and simply doesn’t grow”. I’ve had sprouts stall with just their cotyledons out, healthy as can be but not developing, until lowering the light output.

I’d advise against messing around with nutrients much at this stage. A little goes a looong way, and beware advice specifically about calcium and magnesium — they are the most overprescribed but misunderstood pepper nutrients.

Okay, thanks!
I think i had the light (Viparspectra XS1000) by round about 30% and reduced it now to 10%.

Is it okay that i reduced it so much or would 15% or so better?

That certainly sounds like a lot to reduce it by, but I can’t tell you anything about your specific light — maybe it’s very powerful?

The best way to dial it in is to simply observe your plants. If they need more light, they will stretch and become leggy. That much will not be a mystery.

Like these?



I first tried to use the sun but there was not really a sun. xD

I just reduced it now so much because my Chili looks absolutly unhealty and I dont want to kill them completly

Those look totally normal, to me.

But I’m a fairly new grower myself.

I have the vipar sprectra XS 1500.
My lights are at 22" high & 60% output.

I have fed them 1/2 tsp of miracle gro liquid plant food with 1 tsp liquid Kelp & a tsp of biofungicide every other watering.
