thanks bro, my lights are about 3" away, lights are warm but touchable so not too hot i dont think. my fan is ok, it oscillates and another fan airs my room (window open while gone). no timer on lights b/c the electrical cord has 3 prongs and the timer has 2... therefore schedule is a 24/7. I'm thinking it's just wrong pH b/c i have no meter and subsequenntly haven't adjusted accordingly...

my #1 got way worse today tho: here's pics... help me someone!!

I'm not sure about ph, ive never messed with it... I prolly should use some good pure drinking water, that should be fine. I wonder if they are droopy cause of over-watering? just a thought. You know there are little things you can buy that allows you to plug 3 prong into a 3prong extension that makes it 2 prong right? find one of those

there like dieing

you've never messed with pH? you lucky SoB! i've read that inaccurate pH is one of the biggest mistakes 1st timers make so i just went an bought some sulfur, limestone, and a pH reader GAMETIME!

dont jinx me ismokecrack! ha

One of the biggest mistakes is really what you have done here. You got MG soil which has MG fertilizer in it, or you are giving it some sort of fertilizer, I'm not sure which . also probably giving it too much water, how often do you water it? Are there holes in the bottom of that cup?


Those are probably the 2 top mistakes made, overwatering ( Mothering them to death) and Fertilizing too soon(Too much love).

Give the plants some time to come around, no nutes for at least 1 month. Repot into Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil if you can get it, its got the right PH for Weed to grow and the right organic nutes that won't burn the plants. Water when the pot is dry, but water really slowly and enough to make it dribble out the holes on bottom of pot. You will soon learn to weigh the pots and will instinctively know when to water. Dry pots weigh less.

Those lights should be able to veg out some 2 foot plants pretty well, any bigger and you will need to supplement.

two of the biggest mistakes are overwatering and messy with it too much. put some holes in the bottom of those cups. holes will help with drainage and help dry out ur soil. stop watering until dry. when u think its dry wait another two days. you will be amazed how long they can go with little water. ph is a real problem if u do not have good drainage. if u have good drainage then u do not have to worry about it. at least i have not. if they continue to sit in soggy soil its going throw off ph. drainage, drainage, drainage.

agree with above except i think u said u put them in mg seedling mix without nutes. that should be fine.

Thanks for the advice and help bobman & nodrama I'll make some immediate changes and update w/ pics asap... we shall see

still having problems w/ the lower leaves brown/yellowing... obviously they're dying but she keeps on growing...

same cycles on everything: have drainage holes in bottom of all cups, water every 2 or 3 days (or when soil is dry 1" down). Definitely not too hot (only CFLs, and ventilation is half decent...

I'm almost positive i haven't under/over watered them but what does rootbound mean? i'm fucking stumped on this one... plus i dont think my pH reader works?
