Remember, it won't grow if it doesn't have roots to suck up water and nutrients. So try stop misting the plant, and let the roots seek out moisture in the soil (that is how they grow). Watering small seedlings can be tricky (not overwatering). Sorry, I don't have better advice.

First image looks like the very beginning of Magnesium-def, not sure about the second image. Make sure you have the correct PH before correcting anything.

Glass ABSORBS light! What is a mirror? A mirror is glass (which absorb some light), put in front of a reflective surface (some metal). So the light has to go through the glass, which absorbs light, TWICE just to reflect the light back. Ditch those mirrors, and get some Mylar. Also, even if...

A picture, and a little more info would result in better help. I reply because I'm bored :-) If you have several plants and problem persists, try treating a group differently. Just a wild guess; Could be lack of Calcium, Phosphorus or Potassium (they all can give spots), but don't know why...

As a newbie I continued to overwater for a long time, and I did this even if every forum told me overwatering was the newbie-mistake number 1. I did this because I didn't understand what over-watering really was. So when talking about overwatering, I make sure to point out that over-watering...

You could end up never finding a strain that works like you want, simply because of something in the unconscious part of your mind - which surfaces when you are high. It is still seen as a negative thing by the people around you (general population), it's illegal (you have to hide), for some...

I'm talking about WATER on leaves. It will NOT burn. I have "only" tried with a 600W HPS though. But I have never tried to make it happen on purpose, nor do I have experience with CFL's very close. But it's common sense, or physics: A perfect round ball of glass will focus all rays to a tiny...

A "spoiled" plant that always get a repot when roots hits bottom might have trouble for a period. Maybe you never waited long enough? I'm sure I've seen big plants in small pots, and they were healthy. I want to know more about this subject, as I've seen my plants droop when they are...

Of course it runs deeper, burning from water droplets are a forum-myth.

Too me they do look dried and pretty much dead. edit: I would also like an answer. Do you have other ways of describing why you think this is a deficiency?

I'm also currently growing Vanilla Kush (3 weeks old). My plants all look like his, regarding Indica/Sativa leaves. You're saying it doesn't like having no room for roots? What about flowering then (same pot for 2 months), how did it perform? Does VK strech much during 12/12? To the OP...

I really hope the Libyan war are making Americans (the masses) SERIOUSLY THINKING about war-spending. I really hope the people realise they need to get the power back from the Corporationparty A and Corporationparty B. (I know, you call them Dems and Reps, but they all act on money not on what...

Man I feel old, school is a so distant memory it might have been another life.

@Dudeface; Thank you.

I'm not going to say this again. You cannot get something for nothing. edit: I might have misunderstood you. Anyway, a 40w bulb is not equal to a 100w bulb in outptut - without using 100 watts of power. (same tech)

In other words, CLF bulbs penetrates just as deep as HID-bulbs. It's just the source that is weak, even close up. Thank you for the answer. But the science behind it still puzzle me, and I'm a curious person, so I'll be reading more about lightning today. (250W of CFL is weaker than 250 HID...

I'm not sure I understood your question completely. But yes, if a bulb draws 40 watts then you have a 40w light. Let's say someone (non-grower) wants to replace their old regular non-cfl 65 watt bulb, for lighting a regular room. They go to the store. They see that now there is a new...

@wiseguy: Did you read his question? I'm not sure if too much PH-down/up harms the micro-life in the medium, or have other bad effects. I use citric acid as PH down, as I hear it's good for the microlife and makes P more available to the plant. But I guess too much of anything can harm...

How deep down the plant does a CFL penetrate? If you need to use wattage in the answer, do your pick. Everybody says CFL does not penetrate as deep, and say this is why they must be close. WHY is it that they claim HPS/MH penetrates deeper? Why? Wavelength? Can't be watts. I don't understand...

" went out tonght and replaced the 100 watters with 150 watters that use 40 watts...OH YEA!!!!!! " 40 watts = 40 watts, not 150w. 150 watts is what your EYES perceive, 40 watts is what the plants sees.
