Hey guys, I toyed with the idea of growing my own stash for a while now and figured I would try a bagseed grow first to see if its for me. my seeds germinated fine and out of the six seeds I planted three sprouted and they have been going ok for about ten days now. This morning I checked on them and they all looked great. It was at 6am which is the beginning of their 18hr light cycle. When I got home at 5pm they looked shriveled up. Well one has always looked better than the rest, but the other two looked pretty beat up. Im running them at 200ppm and their light cycle is 18/6. Im using a drip system that I made and they get a quarter gallon of water three times a day over a 15 minute period. The nutrients I started with are 2-1-2. The guy at a local hydro shop said that would be good for growing veggies like tomatoes. They are under 408watts of flourcent lights. Its a light I made out of a bunch of 34watt ballast I had. My room temp is around 85 during the day and 75 at night. Humidity stays around 45-55%. I have one large fan on low that blows on them 24/7 and my light is about 5-6 inches from them.
I attached three pics the first one is the plant that looks the best. The other two you can see how the leaves have shriveled. So my basic question is, what is causing this. Too much heat, should water differently, lights to close, etc Im a total newbie so any help would be awesome.
