Is this an issue?

i have 4 going right now (3 Lemon og and 1 raspberry cough syrup). The 3 LOGH are 6 weeks into veg (these are the bigger plants), and the RCS is at abou 4 wks into veg. Details of the grow are at my journal link below. Environmentals are good and I’ve given no nutes as of yet (FFOF and Happy Farm mix medium). I had poor ventilation for a few days so humidity got a bit high in the tent—I thought a little WPM formed, so I sanitized the tent and lights vent etc. and sprayed the plants down w a little baking soda and water.

The grow has been a breeze so far, but the plants are starting to show different growth “patterns” over the past 10 days or so. The new growth has always been light green, but now the new growth looks a bit stringy. The plants are droopy a bit in the pics bc I just sprayed them, but they haven’t been as perky past week or so. Any ideas why this might be so? Does it look like an issue? Do they look small for 4-6 wks?

I’m veging w a 125w CFL and turned on my Timber 400w Vero Set (potentiometer at 20% @40 inches from canopy). I’ve slowly introduced the timber at about 10-12 hrs per day in a 24:0 light schedule. The other 12-14 hrs, I just have on the 125w cfl @ 6 inches from plants.

What are all those little white dots I'm seeing all over your leaves, fourth picture down for example I understand they're wet but that doesn't look like water drops

Did you read my post? I thought it was maybe a little WPM but I’ve never had that issue before so I’m not 100%. If I blow on it lightly, it is blown off the leaves. I also thought it might be something from my A/C ventilation. I had rh at 85-95% for a few hrs a couple of times over the past 2 wks—RH is usually around 55-65%

They look fine in my opinion, but with a medium like FFoF its hard to manage the nutrient levels being provided to the plant. If you have not started feeding them at 4 to 6 weeks, you should start.

Yeah, they’re not bite marks. They actually rub off with a swipe of a finger (insert joke here)

What I'm getting at is are they the mites or not I can't tell from the picture are they alive and moving ?

.. you keep saying they wipe off and I get that but are they alive is what I'm asking Mickey

Again, I just sprayed them down. I haven’t watered in 4 days. Shouldn’t be overwatered. But I’ll let the containers completely dry out this time. Thanks.

Again: They look obviously and badly overwatered, and it isn’t a humidity thing. See how they’re bloated and droopy? Your medium is retaining too much moisture in the rhizosphere. Period.

I’m not trying to be rude or anything, but there’s something definitely wrong with the root zone, and it appears to be moisture-related.

Not being rude. Any suggestions? Theyre in ~35% FFOF 35% FFHF 30% additional perlite.

They probably just have a smaller root system because of the veg’ing under fluorescents, and are having a hard time drying fast enough. I believe your Timber will speed up your growth immensely. It’ll also cause your root system to grow faster, too, and your medium to dry out faster. I’d say use your Timber and allow the root system to get bigger, feeling out how much water is needed each week. Every 3-5 days, that’s about what you want your schedule at.
