after transplanting and adding perlite to soil, i would also put them on a 18/6 light schedule. also mist them, and increase humidity,don't think you mentioned Rh, but mj likes it at about 60%+ for vegetative growth. looks as though your plants will need a dark period, to help develop those roots...which will also help them transpire properly. looks like heat stress...its not too hot....they just need a bit of down time, dark period. hope this helps... peace. good luck :)

hello all thanks for the responce really appricate it,iv added afew pic of the rest of the girls all doing good at 3 weeks yesterday i have decided to add another 4 plants to my grow 2 big bang,2 nirvana all just showing there first tear drop leafs??
i also want to know when do my m/h light come into it as there still under fluorescents ???;-)DSCF3059.jpgDSCF3057.jpgDSCF3056.jpgDSCF3055.jpgDSCF3054.jpgDSCF3053.jpgDSCF3052.jpgDSCF3051.jpgDSCF3050.jpgDSCF3049.jpgDSCF3048.jpgDSCF3047.jpgDSCF3058.jpg/\\

HMMM, they are indeed looking worse. I agree with Kevin about repotting. I think they are maybe suffering from root suffocation. There dos not seem to be enough perlite in your medium. And the compost is binding them and not allowing them to breathe. Add some perlite like 3:1 ratio. This will help to aerrate the soil and also retain moisture in the root ball. I know you are being inundated with advice. But, in looking at the view in your pic, that is what I am seeing. Also would explain the underwatering I mentioned originally. You may be watering enough but with no breathing space for the roots to drink it in, the water is not getting to the leaves.
ya bkb its looking alot worse off now,ya going to pot them into bigger pots early next week and im going to add extra perlite it think what you have said above is the very thing that maybe happening again il say thanks for cuming back with that very helpful information :cool:

nice pics...yah only a couple seemed to have gotten the worst of it...the rest look pretty good...misting helps allot if it is dry in area.

they just got a bit too dry, humidity wise. com lol

i mist at least once a day... just a light mist is all they need...during flowering you don;t want to mist at all.

As far as when to start adding nutes, depends on the medium they are in. When they are ready start small like 1/4 dose. Better to do too little than too much i start a gradual build up with a feed, water, ater, feed schedule. Upping by 1/4 dose every second feeding until she reaches full dose.

Putting them under MH can happen anytime now, just not too close at first they don't need anymore stress so soon after being ill and repotted. As for nutes, I cannot really say b/c I have never used a compost medium per se. I use FF Happy Frog. But what I can advise is to do some research on your medium, listen to your girls they will tell you what they want. And alsways start with much smaller then manufacturers reccommended dose. Too little is ok, too much can be devestating.
