Well lets assume it's over watering for the moment. LoL
If ya gotta ask, it's usually too much water.
When they need water, you'll notice the dirt actually pulling away from
the sides of the pot. Look for this signal.
Also, get in the habit of picking up your pot, prior to watering and feeling the weight,
you'll quickly "feel" the difference in weight between a heavily watered plant,
and one in need of water.

I have a hydroponic system, i dont use soil.
hey guys,
videoman, last week I waited 6 days before watering them... I knew I wasn't supposed to water too often so each day they were still looking ok I held off watering them......
possibly underwatering then?
Should I pick off the yellow leaves?
Since then I watered them every 1.5 days with baby bio - fertilizer. they still seem to be growing ok and even have new leaves coming out from the stalk beside where the yellow leaves are.

if you have a base under your pot.. if you look at that after watering your plant and there is water in the base.... my mum said that means theres to much water... but i guess thats kinda obvious
Added more light (two additional cfls) now 4 lights up top and one in the box. Box is about 1ft by 2ft and there are 3 plants in it (and they're running out of space). Will have to get a new box by the weekend.
think they have grown even since pictures above.
Stopped picking off the yellow leaves.

Make sure to keep a thermometer in the grow box,

and also; when watering, water throroughly... give them a good soaking. this will lengthen times between waterings, and you can easily tell when they need it by lifting the pot and checking the weight.

thanks for the tips, will have to see about getting a thermometer, and weighing them for watering
Repotted the three of them today. They were getting too big for their old pots. They're now between 10" and 11" tall and have been under cfls for about 6 weeks. Last week I changed from 18/6 to 17/7. Made them a new grow box today cause they had outgrown their old one. They got burnt a few times from touching off the cfls, but I think they'll survive.
Am planning one more week of 17/7 and then going to 12/12.
You can see the yellow leaves down the bottom from when I didn't water them
yellow leaf on this one as well, I don't think it's as lobsided in real life!!!

imo, go back to 18-6. you don't have to have a gradual change, it can be immediate. ie, i go straight from 24/0 to 12/12.
