Ok guys the Biggest plant is about 3 weeks old and the rest are about 2 weeks old... But some of them have something crazy going on with the leaves... I just re-potted them this past Saturday... (They were in Party cups..) So i moved them to something a lil bigger... I havent added and nutes because there still young... Im using Fox Farms- Ocean Forest Potting Soil... And it says not to add any fert at first cause there is plenty for lil while... My temps are ideal im not shure wat the humidity should be but you can see were im at from the pics... I think there growing well i have 8x 26 watt 55000k CFL light aprox 2-4 inches from top they have continuous fresh air(Door Remains open) I just checked my soils PH and its right at 7.1 and the last time i watered was Sat wen i re-potted them before that it was about every 4-5 days... These pix are kinda messed up and im sorry... Some of the leaves might look a little light cause my camera and because its so fucking bright in my closet but there a really nice dark green... I just dont know wat im doing wrong :wall:... Does any one have any ideas? Any advise would help and thx in advance for your help.... :leaf:

They look fine to me for the most part. Perhaps a tad bit of over watering on a couple but that's about it. Baby plants look a little ugly sometimes, I wouldn't worry unless they get remarkably worse.

Hey mate,

I would say perhaps tad high on the PH but just keep an eye on it might level it self out. Also could be drooping from the stress of re potting?
Let us know if gets any worse. Most of em looks nice and healthy man.

this is exactly what i was thinking. i have had some UGLY twisted looking babies grow up into beautiful princesses (hello C99!). make sure you lift a container when the soil is completely tried out and then again right after you water and the weight difference should tell you exactly when u need to water in the future. and your humidity isnt low enough to cause trouble. if u want to get a humidifier to try and raise it to 60% you can, but imo its better to be a lil on the low side as it makes it harder for bugs and mold to survive.

good luck!

Yeah man for some reason I noticed twisted or mutated leaves early in veg when I use my cfl.. Also when u repot buy some perlite and mix into ffof.. Looks like you could use more oxygen in the rootzone.. For now you can poke a few holes in soil just dont go into the root zone.. Just above it. Or put a piece of a straw.. This will allow oxygen to get to the roots.. Looking good otherwise bro!

Dj you said my PH might be a lil to high? Ok well i use a ph soil and nutes tester... I tryed to test my tap water with the tester and it reads 7.0 right outa the tap.... then my plant soil says 7.1 I guess wat im asking is... can you use the same ph soil tester to test the water from my sink or they only for soil?... I read the lil paper that it came with but didnt say anything about checking the ph levels of your water....

wen i did research it says that the ideal PH levels are between 6.2-7.0 but the plant can tollerate 5.8-8.0 you guys think thats bad information?
