I can't figure out whats wrong with these guys. I thought it was heat damage from being to close to the lights (6xCFL's) but i have raised he lights and he problem persists. Could it be an overall heating issue? I don't think it has anything o do with watering. They are grown in organic soil, haven't used any nuts on them yet.
Plants need your attention!

- Start date
There a few weeks old at least, from germination up to now. Slow growing I imagine due to seeds not clones and soil medium with no nutes. But I'm knew to this so I think that's a good thing.

could use some more detail on your setup. temperature, ph, watering schedule. read https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/1469-marijuana-plant-problems-cures.html for examples of problems and solutions.
6 cfls built into a custom hood with 2 roes of 3 cfl's. 4 daylight cfl's and 2 warm cfl's, one on each end. I water a little every other day, sometimes more, sometimes less, kinda go by feel.
Seedlings are in 6 inch pots (might be 8 inch). temp is usually around 75 but does creep up during the night when the closet door is shut.

ok, got it. you should consider watering, drainage and perhaps pot size changes.
you want to water thouroughly enough to exit the drainage holes you should have in the bottom of your pots. then wait until the soil is dry by sticking your finger down to the second knuckle. you will end up watering about every three days.
your dirt looks like straight soil. you want to add 25% - 50% perlite to improve drainage.
if you're modifying your soil anyway, then you should repot. not sure if you're rootbound now but no use waiting until you are.
those are all changes you should make no matter what's going on with your plant. do alll of that, give them a week or two, and see how they're doing.

Ok, so i just replanted the young ones into much larger pots using organic soil mixed with some pearlite i had left over. The brown spots seem to have started to clear up, seems Loki was right. Now i just need to make a new hood that fits over these huge pots 
.
I picked up some fertilizer.I couldn't find 20-20-20 mix, so i had to settle for a 24-8-16 (i think). I'm hoping the organic soil i have will supplement the fert. It's bean doing good so far so i really don't see a problem arising.
When i transplanted I noticed the roots had grown around the bottom of the pot and started to grow up the aides of the pots. Could this have caused any of the yellowing on the bottom leaves, is this normal and nothing to worry about?

Hey everyone, quick updates on these three ladies and some questions.
The three plants are doing allot better now that i have transplanted them into much larger pots and moved the light. Ill try to get some pics up soon.
I had a question about watering, as it seems my plants are asking for it.
I was watching a video about growing indoors in which the grower had plants in soil very similar to my setup but on a fairly larger scale. (closet vs. a room in a house) The grower said he watered his plants with 200ml (about a cup) of water which he had premixed with nutrients.
I was wondering if it would be feasible to use this watering schedule given that my setup is much more primitive than the one in the video.
I was also wondering if it would be possible to use regular fertilizer in lieu of the more expensive nutrient mixes, of course using the fertilizer in a very diluted form. This would be with every watering or every week or every other week depending on what you say here.
If anyone has any other watering schedule suggestions please let me know. If your new to the thread most questions about grow setup have bean answered in previous posts.

Hey everyone, I'm still waiting for a response to the post before this one (so please read it first), but I thought I might upload some photos and ask for some advice.
Currently I am thinking about pruning my plants, as these seem to be very full and I am worried that there is not enough light to feed all of these lower branches. I also need to expand these plants horizontally to use as much horizontal space as possible, ideally i would like them to reach the edges of the pots.
Also you may notice the tips of the leaves have turned yellow in 2 of the plants. I was first thinking they were thirsty, but the soil is moist, so now I think it may be over watering, but I would like to know what everyone thinks after looking at the photos.
The third plant seems to have another problem, it is a very dark green, and the tips of the top leaves are curling down. Also the leaves have a scrunched shape to them and are much thinner. I am thinking that it may be a nitrogen surplus in the plant, but again, I would like ot know what you guys think.
I have uploaded the majority of the photos into my photo album "Small Closet Grow" so go check it out and let me know what you think.

Pics 1 and 2 are nute burn...pic 3 is a deficiency probably caused by too high or low of pH...next time they dry out, water thoroughly and test the runoff of the water it should read between 6.3-6.8. If it doesn't then add a pH up or down to the mix and water lightly..
