looks healthy to me, might want some guano or earthworm castings, it will darken up if you use it. did you water right before the pic? let it get dry before rewatering, don't want to overwater.

i cant remember if i watered before the pic but i generally use a spray bottle to water and wait till the top of the soil gets dry

My local hydro supplier told me yesterday that if spraying with straight water it dilutes the chloro thingies in the plant and starves it of nutes. if this is true make sure you spray with a dilute nute formula.

ya man.. jus be carefull to ur doeses... the recomended dose is bullshit... they want u to use more so u run out faster.... ur plants only need so much nutes so dont think that more nutes will give u more weed.. it will jus cause damage and in turn u will think it need this to fix it and then create more damage.. its a snowball affect... look for a thread called "fertilizing wisely" by genfranco.. ull see what im talk bout

its easy to add more nutes but its a bitch to get rid of too much, so when you start be sure you add a little at a time.
I just had 2 plants die on me using the recommended dosage :(
