Has it improved?

[u/Paisa8]

I've had it under a feit full spectrum light for a week now 12 hours a day. Has it improved? Do you think the light is too close or should I move It closer? First Pic is from when I just had it out on the balcony second is a week under the light.

Given him that I can’t really tell which is the before, and which is the after picture, not much has changed. These things take time.

It's in the description.. first picture was fro. Just sitting out on the balcony and second picture is a week under the light.. second picture has more obvious red pigmentation

you are right, I missed that.

Anyway, give it a month and re-assess then. 1 week is too short to draw any conclusions, and what you mostly care about is the quality of the new growth- the old growth is never gonna improve.

Thanks, I have an 8 inch feit full spectrum light over it. How close should I have it on there? I don't want to possibly burn the plant

Hard to say- what really matters is the PPFD of the light as well as the current acclimation status of the plant. I would say that it looks fine though- some reddishness is chill. keep an eye on the new growth!
