but now I'm getting spots on my leaves

and the edges are curling up and the tips look burned.

Could it be nute burn because i fed them the first time i watered them or could it be from the heat of the lamps? or something else? i have a duct fan venting under the house but its at floor level because i have no ducting. i have a fan at roof level to circulate the hot air to the floor, I'm going to get ducting as soon as i can. The grow space stays about 76-78. I do not know what to do! Please help!
No need to feed them nutes for the first few weeks. The soil should contain all the Nitrogen and trace elements needed for your seedlings/clones.
and yes, you've burnt them a little, nothing but water from now on. If you have a liquid seaweed extract, 1ml per L will help. And if you have a spray bottle you should mist them a couple of times a day at least.

how can i correct the ph? the only way i have to measure ph is the liquid drops and all the colors look the same! i have some baking soda and vinegar on stand by but no real way to measure ph. where can i get a good digital ph meter for cheap?Originally Posted by maps84
I would also try to dome them or get your humidity way up there but you want it near 100% if possible.
they're starting to look a lot betterthe green is coming back in. i cut off some of the burned leaves to hopefully help them out.

I don't think PH or heat were the problem. Looked like a combination of nuts and transplant shock. Glade to see their making a full recovery and smart thinking on snipping the leaves. I usually cut the tips of all the leaves on newly planted clones so the plant focuses on root development. In a few weeks, see if you can make the switch to fabric pots, that way you avoid root bound problems. This is especially important in small grow areas were your forced to use small containers throughout the plant's entire life cycle
A real gardener is not a man who cultivates flowers; he is a man who cultivates the soil. Organic gardening is based on knowledge and techniques gathered over thousands of years, using sustainable and holistic approaches.
Thanks, if i put them in fabric pots would it still be 3 gal?
