Been really busy and haven't had the time to update the journal but so far I moved the girls on over to my hydro system on 10/4 once they reached roughly 2" and had visible roots on bottom of the rockwool. Switched the 200w CFL with my GrowBright 400w MH Conversion Bulb. Temp slips between 78 and 84 degrees Fahrenheit, with humidity levels between 33% and 45%.

Woke up today and noticed one of my girls had a couple leaves that the tips were turning a yellowish brown and were curling inwards. The plant's burning right? The other plant is fine but I raised the light a couple inches just incase. Which is weird because I thought the light was too high instead of too low.

Not sure if you can make it out in this but heres a pic...

Just tested the PH and it was slightly high (even a bit high in the other bucket which appeared fine), so this must be the reason for the yellowing correct? I also noticed a white build up (calcium?) around some of the rocks and on the inside of the bucket.

Anyway, the PH is correct now in both buckets & I lowered the light back down.

What's the temp by the plant? I would think that the white build up is the nutes rather than calcium.
It varies around 80-88 degrees depending on the time of day, so nothing too hot. I'm not using any nutes yet, I was going to start using them next monday.... actually I might wait one more week, I dunno haven't decided.
