Help my ladies........please

I have been trying to figure this problem out on my own. No such luck. IM growing in soil. Fox farm original planting mix. Plants are 6 weeks old in veg state. I water about once a day, kinda in smaller pots. I thought maybe a ph problem but I got some drope for the water and brought it down to 6.3ish for the past week and a half. Im also using Fox farm grow big about once every 2 - 3 waterings. The temp in the closet is 75 - 80 with humidity 50 - 60%. Im growing with a 150w hps sunlamp system sitting about 8 - 10 inches above the tops. I just moved that up another few to about 15 inches. The one in the pic is a female for sure and i dont want to herm her out. She is about the biggest yet worst of the 7 i have going. This is my first grow so kinda blind and learning as i go. thanks in advance for any help and advice.

looks like some nute burn, did you start out at full strength with your nutes? if so back off to about 1/2. also i wouldn't water once a day, it's ok to let them get thirsty, also if your nuteing every 2-3 waterings back off to once a week.
 
No im about half strength as is. I backed off my watering too and the plants damn near fell over. My top nodes were folded over bad. I gave some water and back to good. Then its just been stunted and slow. Nothing really going on in the lower area of the plant. I thought it might have been nute burn but I didnt nute for like a week and a half. Some of my other ones are cupping pretty bad. They have been on 24 hour light since a week old.

looking back at your plants they are not looking too bad, be patient sounds like you have corrected any problems you may have incurred. What you may be seeing is residule effect. Your growth is possiblely stunted as is trys to recoup from some of it's stress. I personally do 18/6 in veg. that down time is good for my girls.

Okay, just my two cents but I am seeing a few different problems...

Pic 1 is definitely N overload, called "ram's horns" it happens when your girls are taking in too much nitrogen

Pic 3 is nute burn, no doubt, stereotypical yellowed and dried ends

Pic 5 is a PH problem, my guess is that your PH is a little too high but not too high as to completely lock out nutes.

Now, I want to point out that these could all be interelated. I would back off of all nutes, do a good solid flush to get any residue out of the soil (with bottled water or RO) and then give them about a week to dry out.

Hope this helps and good luck.:eyesmoke:
