one more thing how often do small plants need nutrients i no it needs to be half strength well so i have been told

A lot of times I have seen my best plants have weird looking leafs to start out with. Your PH is to high though. You should not feed your seedlings for at least the first week, and even then maybe two. And start out at 1/4 strength. Go easy on them. Also try not to mist your plants while the light is on. The water drops will sometimes act like a magnifying glass and you will get burn spots. At least that is what I have been told...

Good luck on your grow.

I must agree with LORD DANGLY I water 1/4 st. as well. rule of thumb little pots need less fert. but more watering. big pots need more fert. but less watering. so confusion say....lol. Just check and watch your watering RW cubes breath good, more evap. and you will find a sweet spot.... make that your schedual.....pm always open!!!...DBB.
