I just started growing 2 REG White Label WW's and both look very similar. I have mine growing in Miracle Grow soil (most people hate MG, but it works) and under a 400w MH right now. I'm just feeding tap water that has been sitting out for a while. No need for nutes with my soil until after the first couple of weeks at least. I think its normal from what I can see.

Potting soil consists of a mixture of peat moss, ground-up tree bark and tiny pieces of perlite. The lightweight materials provide an airy growing medium for seeds and root systems. Steam-heated to kill any bacteria or disease, potting soil is sterile for added protection for young plants. It lacks nutrients and minerals. The gardener will use periodic doses of fertilizer to potting soil.

start to feed with 1/4 strength (balanced n-p-k) nutrients. plant is hungry and is feeding off of itself to survive, needs nutes asap.

no need to boil water? your just killing anything the plant needs by boiling it out.. I just leave water/air-stone in it for 24 hrs is fine... to help eliminate chlorine. peace

What medium are the plants in? id say its not getting enough nutes as said previous.. just use a 1/4 strength nutrient solution, should deffinatly do the job. Id also transplant it into a better potting mix, foxfarm if possible.

Thank you

usually i would not recommend feeding seedlings, but in this case looks like it is needed, since there is nothing in the potting soil, so we have to add a bit of nutrients as required.

Keep em Green! :mrgreen:
