These plants are both about 3 weeks old sprouted from bagseed one is 12 inches and the other is 6. they were int he same pot a few days ago but ive separated them, however these problems started before that happened. I have a 400watt hps and a fan on at all times. I havent started nutes yet, maybe thats my problem im nto sure because everyone kept telling me to wait.
I am very worried about them, please help me if you can.

you can start giving them nutes, just not too much, 1/4 or 1/2 strength tops. try that out and see how it goes..... The affected leaves will not get better, only the new growth will show the progress though.

even though they've got spots and are droopy, they are probably still capable of producing energy for the plant.

i only get rid of leaves when they're totally yellow.

also, move your light a bit closer, it looks like that plants are stretching a little bit.

when the roots start to suffocate because they don't have anymore room to grow and not enough oxygen and nutes to support new growth.

Really i dont car how much i get out of it, i can start over as soon as i finish and whatever it yields is home grown and free. Next plant will be better, with proper soil etc.

Dont really care how much it yields so long as it lives. I can start over once this plants don with proper soil etc and do it right. Whatever grows will be home grown and free, and thats enough for me.

Rootbound is when the plant's roots have out grown the pot or container they are in.
