Hello, this is my first grow and I just wanted to post a couple pics of what I have so far. I am growing two plants and they were bag seeds. The first plant, I planted 12 days ago and the second one I planted 9 days ago. I was having a problem with my ph level. It was way above the normal range, but I just got it under control and got my ph down to 6.3 the other day. Anyway here are the little ladies. Tell me what you think and I need some advice on the first plant.

Alright. My set up is a stealth grow box. I made it myself. Basically I made a dresser into a grow box. It is well ventilated. The temperature gets to 82 degrees Fahrenheit max and 68 degrees lowest, my humidity gets to 75% max and 68% lowest. The light is about a foot above the plants. I am using just a little bit of potting soil in with it. I am using an aerogarden deluxe extra. I am only doing this for my first grow. When I have more experience I plan on switching to a bigger hydroponic system. It came with 3 26 watt bulbs I believe. Not exactly sure what kind of bulbs. The nutes are a liquid dissolvent that come in plastic tubes. I started feeding when the first set of water leaves came out. Maybe a little too early. The are 5.5 ml. They contain 4% nitrogen, 3% phosphate, 6% soluble potash, 1% calcium, 0.5% magnesium, and 0.5% sulfur. I am thinking about switching to a powder dissolvent feed. I just don't have the money at the moment. I would probably be feeding it for every 1 and a half to 2 weeks, but i have only had them for a week and a half max and they were just fed because i had to change my water because my ph level was 8.0 and i corrected it down to 6.3 with the nutrients in it.
 
Right ok well
1. Them lights ok for veg just about will need tons more to flower
2. Plant 1 looks like nute burn
3. Plant 2 looks like nitrogen deficiency maybe? Would get second opinion.

Imo you wanna do about 2-5 soil grows and get real good at it and stock your weed up because hydro so much harder and will need to allow for losing couple crops. And you need tons more equipment and stuff for hydro.
 
I'm not sure about nute burn or nitrogen deficiency. You are the first to say that. There was/is definitely something going on. The first plants growth is stunted for sure because it hasn't grown in 4 days. The second one though has been growing pretty well. The second plant actually had more yellow to it before I fixed my ph level. Now it looks better, but a second opinion would be good. Not to say yours is wrong or anything. I also know I will need A LOT more equipment for an actual hydro system. Which I plan on getting in the long run.
 
5.5ml is a lot for them. I feed my big girls 2/3ml per litre water but it's organic so don't know if that's different?
I also think organic soil grow tastes and smokes better then hydro. Just my opinion. You will be able to see for yourself soon ;)

I say first one nute burn because tips of leaves are burned.
I say second one deficiency because the leaves are lightening from bottom up.

Please do get a second oopinion my friend and hope all works out for ya :)
 
Alright. I will most likely cut down the feed until they get bigger. I believe it may be different than organic. Thanks for the help though. I appreciate it, and I do hope I won't lose these plants.
 
Here are two pics that I just took this morning. The second plant looks a little yellow in the middle because of my camera. I don't know why it does that, but it does. Anyway. Here they are.
