These gals were started from seed, just like their outdoor siblings. I doubt I need reverse osmosis water where I live (NYC has pretty solid drinking water). Everywhere I was looking on the forums instilled the fear of chlorine in me though, hence the RO water. My tap water hovers around 35ppm...

The compost I'm using (Happy Frog potting soil) does have nutrients, but I've started seeds outdoors in the same setup (soil/pots) as I'm currently using without these kinds of issues. I'm using RO water since it removes the chlorine. It's my first time using it (along with growing indoors). It...

Hey all, This is my first time growing indoors. My plants are two weeks old, and aren't looking so great. They look smaller than I expected and the leaves are yellowing and dying on some plants. Here's my setup: LED light (180watt pull, so probably 400w equivalent) at 3ft height happy frog...

I checked the plants this morning and one of them was pretty wilted from lack of water (leaves were limp). I watered all four, and the seedling with the limp leaves perked right up. However, I noticed that al four seedlings have leaves that are starting to yellow. Additionally, the leaves of...

Oh yea I'm definitely not expecting a yield as if I was using a high end LED. I wanted to start with something cheaper and get a feel for what I'm doing before any serious investment :mrgreen:

Thanks for the watering advice, I'll give that a go

Today is day 12 for these guys. I did water before that though when the soil looked very dry (over a day between watering). I probably should have held back then.... only thing I can do now is start a lighter watering schedule. Is waiting til the leaves start dooping a good indication of when...

Cool thanks for the advice guys. I think I'll ditch the nutrients for now (I was just following the schedule listed here http://www.growgreenerguru.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/generalhydroponics2.jpg) and stick with just adjusted PH water. I'll also try to let the soil dry out a bit more...

I've been trying to water when the soil looks really dry (soil looks shrunk compared to the container it's in). So once a day at most. I had a fan blowing on them which really dried the soil out quickly for a couple of days. But from what I understand, when seedlings are this small, a higher...

That's what I thought as well, especially since I'm using soil that is supposedly nutrient rich. I'm not sure why the leaves are yellowing if it's not nutes though

I gave a really small dose. I thought since the cotyledons were yellowing that it was a sign it was running out of initial nutes

Forgot to mention, these are autoflower strains that are on a 20 on/ 4 off schedule.

Hey guys, This is my first time growing, and am super pumped! I have four babies growing right now that are a little over a week since they first popped. Here's my setup: 48x24x60 grow tent 1000w full spectrum grow LED (177 actual watt pull) @ 3ft above seedlings happy frog soil in coco...
