what are you growing in
what nutrients are you feeding
what is your ph
what ec or ppm is your nutrient feedings at
how old is the plant
how often are you watering
take a photo with out the purple light on
answer all them question 1st then someone might be able to help
Im running with:
Fox farms soil
General organics go box/ now going half of the recommended doses
pH hopefully is around 6.0
Don't have ppm info
These are clones
Probably put them in pots 4- 5 weeks qgo
Feeding about once a week
Water maybe twice a week. Depending on soil dryness
Temps around 73
Again first real grow .went through a bunch of cfl lights before buying an led "1000" watts light
Leaves are turning red? Becoming dry feeling. Little droopy also. At work now when I get home I'll cut the light off and taking you pictures thank you guys

i dont grow in soil so any think i say would just be a guess but with that information its more likely someone will come comment and help
plants look hungry to me also looks like they need cal mag getting some red stems some epson salt wont hurt
hopefully isnt good enough when it comes to ph a cheap ph meter is better then nothing
maybe they havent gotten a good root ball growing yet although 4 weeks from cutting id expect then to have ok roots
Fox farms soil is apparently a hot soil and maybe its not good for starting cutting in but im not sure so hope some soil grower can assist them plants
Roots good ok them . They were in smaller pots than what they're in now. Roots started coming out bottom of the smaller pot so move them into bigger pots two days ago.

its probably time to start feeding them half strength nutrients then or to top dress with some sort of organic or use like a compost tea and worm casting. are you trying to grow organic or are you just trying to grow. personally i think organic indoors is dumb but that's just me no offense
my bad you are feeding half strength already well i dont know plants look hungry maybe increase the feeding

I don't do soil either but right off the bat I would agree with the earlier comment about mag sulfate and calcium (cal nitrate or calmag), but also your temps seem pretty low. You mentioned 73 and in that photo it appears 68 or 69F°. With your LED you probably want around 80 or 81F° when the light is on.

Double up on your feeds, water less, and invest in any form of cal/mag. Those things are hungry and whatever your giving it doesnt have what theyre asking for.
Yeah I need to get it up for sure .I have small personal heater I'm going to try and use

Feed a bit more, less frequently, and get you some calmag or calnit/Epsom. Your growth will suffer in those temps as well. I don't know what your circumstances are but for me, when I'm running my dehumidifier alot (lights off, for instance) I can close the door to my room and the heat from the dehum will keep it around 71F (my nighttime ambient is 69-70 inside, I love this time of year). Soo if you don't have a dehum and your space is sized right you could possibly do two jobs with one tool.

You're probably locking-out, you've got to begin measuring your pH & ppm accurately to improve your plants condition, good luck
I mix my nutrients in a gallon jug. Then check the pH and adjust down . This last feed I also through another gallon of regular ph'd water after I feed them. In hopes of not burning them from the nutes. BEFORE I would mix in jug at half the recommended doses then water that gallon down by half and then feed .so I was giving very little nutes at first I believe
Also out if all my plants only 1 doesn't seem to show Therese same problems with the leaves . Also again I'm only feeding once a week. Maybe watering twice a week at this point. I also turned on the small ass heater. My set up is in the basement .So yeah it's getting cold even with the lights on.

Ouch. Yeah my ass is way too big for those small ass heaters. Just keep trying to do what you can I guess.
Thanks brother
