Need help some of my plants are looking like shit-- pics

They are 6 weeks old now, under 3cfls of 100watts each, i'm using a shitty soil i know,they have good ventilation so heat is not a problem, i have used nutes only 3 times so i don't think its a nute burn, probably bad genetics too. I have 5 plants two are doing great and 3 are a little bit behind but the new leaves of this two started curling also the grow is stunned and i don't know why i'm worried, if anyone could help me i would really appreciate it.. thanks

It looks like you had the light to close my friend, I've done the same. If that's not possible, "taco" leaves are usually caused by low ph.
Other than that they look healthy, do you have drainage holes in the pots and do you intend on transplanting soon?

Hey... Those stems supposed to be purple ? Or is that a nitrogen deficiency or what?

hmmmm... didn't notice that, N deficiency is usually shown by the plant turning a light green color I thought? And those plants look the right shade of green, not to dark not to light.

Well, I dont know what Im looking at most of the time.. LOL But I heard that somewhere before on RIU ... Just thought I would bring that up.

Yes, they have drainage holes. No i'm planning to leave them there because i'm running out of space in my room.. And thank you very much

I don't think the soil should be pulling away from the inside of the pot like it is, that may mean it needs more water. Also, I'm not sure what you have in there for drainage, but it looks like rice which is not the best thing for them. Get some perlite and some better soil ASAP, and make the transplant. They will love you for it.

It's not the soil, your plants are healthy except for the taco leaves! If it was your soil you'd see deficiencies and I don't see any. If your watering when ever you lift your pots up and they are light(pry every two or three days for you) then watering is not a problem.

Some of the posters that have been on here a while bicker about newbies answering a question if they are unsure or really don't know. I see where they are coming from but to be honest sometimes its the only way to get those old timers who really know what their talking about to give a answer. lol
