first grow going wrong!! they need a doctor!!

hi, im on my first ever grow, and i think im running into probs from what ive read, my grow consists of 9 blue mystics, in biobizz light soil, ive had problems with my lights, but am under a 600 hps now, though not ideal it seems ok, i did get alot of stretch in the beginning as i jumped the gun and started before i got my kit together and was suprised how quick they searched for light!! so my next go ill defo be using t5s, ive now mh aswell but rather then start again id like to see theese through and try to learn a bit, they are in there 3rd to 4th week from seed, my temp is between 24 to 28 and ph is 7 i use ro water from local fish shop, ive started feeding with bio bizz grow, small dossage and have only fed 2 times, when i first potted up i think i drowned the soil a bit so had to wait a while for it to dry up!! they have a curling problem at the mo and the leaves towards the top though dark green seem to have a dark grey sheen in places, though you only really see it under the light also though not brown they seem a bit dry?? they also seem to be drooping though moisture readings are fine, and pots not light , ive just noticed on some bottom fan leaves they have a bit of brownish discolouration in the middle of leaf not the eadge has any one got a point of view on all this please as ive read so much its hurting my brain!! i thought put them in mud and off you go... now its a challenge and i dont want to loose cheers
coz

Flush and bring your PH down to around 6. and theyll be happy. Jah love!

mate do you mist your plants?

thanks for the info, thats what ill be doing then, ill read up on flushing and if you feed as you flush, do the roots live with the amount of water then? obviously im new to this and dont want to rot them out,

hi as far as misting goes i have about 4 times since seed as everything i read seems different its like mist the underside, no mist the top, no dont mist, i bought some canna rhizotonic and with a week solution it says to mist them and i did about 10 mins ago, i bet your gonna tell me not to now!!

Dont feed when you flush. I use flora clean from General hydro. add, then PH, and water till water comes out the bottom.

I LOVE rhizotonic But I normly dont mist plants afte they have a root system. I mist when i take clones for the first 3-4 days then stop. You can water with rhizo too! But I bet you its deff PH, Bring it down

just checking out your 160 beuatys, you obviously know your stuff and are good at it, so im gonna defo go with your sugestion and take it from there, just a question about the ryzotonic do you think i could mix it with the bio bizz grow or if theres any need to?? and whats your views on bio bizz i went with it cause it seemed like a package deal for learners!! thanks again man

well that might be the cause of the yellowish leaves bro

I dont think they need rhizo right now. I dont mix it with anything else except for clonex somtomes, and only for clones. I think its the ph. Bring the Water PH down to 6.5 or so. remember a full point in ph is a ten time increase in alkalinity or acidity.

yeah i thought ph 7 would be safe if nuetral but as i read more i see they like the acidity, and i had missed a trick with the way you work the ph out, so tomorrow the local store will be getting a visit and the little ones a shower!! and ill leave the misting out now and try to stop panicking, thanks to you both for your input, nice to know its not a selfish hobby,!! this site is great!!

Have Fun! And Good Luck!
