Looks over watered to me. The lamp on the top seems a bit closer than it should also but that surely isn't the cause of the problem.

Hi there again! Been away for a few days and when I got back, the plants had their lower leaves yellow, some of them curled and completely dry. Some of them even fell off. Two of them, the most advanced, are all droopy and look stunted. My girlfriend, who was in charge of taking care of them...

Dude, I have the same "problem". And I use the quotes because my pH is 7.something, near 8, but the plants look pretty good. I've tried to flush it (my tap water is 6.5) and sometimes adding some lemon but it stays quite the same. As they are doing good so far, I won't worry about that. If...

Wrong thread probably, these are all bag seed. Cheers!

Thank you both. McFonz, that is a problem for me too as I'm in Europe so I've never even seen many of the nutes and soils people mention here. I've already been thinking about Alg-a-Mic and Top Max. They are bit expensive though... I'd rather stay on organic nutes but chemical are cheaper...

My soil is Compo Sana Universal Compact. I just bought it because it seemed to be a decent soil, with perlite and agrosil (root stimulation). I know it is already fertilized but I read in a lot a places that after 3 weeks that is gone so I started BioGrow and Hesi SuperVit. BioBloom is crap? Oh...

Thanks for the advice! I tried to find a table for it but only found for all-mix and light-mix soils and for hydro. Currently as I said, they're 3ml/L some of their lower fan leaves are a bit yellow, in fact the first leaves after the cotyledons are yellow and falling but I assume that is...

I tried that plate method to germinate but so far, had more success with cotton. Still, the procedure is quite the same so, it's up to you. Never tried germinating them directly in soil but I'll do it next time. The only downside is that you won't have a clue if it is germinating or not but oh...

Ok, as promised, here is an update! They complete today 5 weeks from seed and I'm quite happy as they grew a lot more this week than in any other. Two of the photos show some white salty-looking crusts that I've been finding on the top of the soil. What is this? Salt build-up because of...

These are from seed, not clones. Thank you for your help... Guess both ways seem good. I'll think about it! In a few days I will post an update on them. Cheers!

If you think it is the soil, maybe you should repot it withe a better soil.

36houres of darkness? That doesn't sound good to me either... in nature, unless there is a massive eclipse, that would never happen so I guess I'll just go straight into 12/12. One more thing, I read somewhere that one should start giving them blooms nutes one week or so before going into...

Yeah, they look a bit dry but most of all, such a light bulb 3 inches above them... I know it's a CFL but it seems too close. They are curling so I would get the a light a bit higher. In fact, in this stage I wouldn't even use that much. Maybe a pair of tubes would be enough for now. And your...

That's great (at least for my babies)! And as you told me, they seem to be kicking off now! They grew a lot since yesterday! I built a CO2 generator (bottle of water with yeast, baking soda and sugar) today and it might be a coincidence but it seems to be working! Though the yeast stays on the...

I think none of them is less than 1cm apart from another. Still, I'm gone check it out to make sure. And yes, I clearly understand that. In fact, that was the reason why I posted this thread. I thought they were too close...

Sorry mate, I'm just a newbie, can't help you with that. Just asked the temp as something similar happened to my plants and it was heat stress. But I'm using a 400watt hps and the temp was quite higher so it's not that... just hope someone helps you out! It's really shitty when something is...

Did that today... moved it 10cm (4inches). Tomorrow I'll have to rearrange some stuff there in order to get it higher. Right now they have two 20watts small fans, one at the bottom for intake and another one at the level of the light to exhaust. Inside they have one big fan leaning slightly...

Yes, that is another possible problem though it doesn't worry me that much as the place where they're growing is quite dry... now I just need to find a way to cool down the place a bit... sometimes it gets 35ºC (95F) in there... In fact, they're not on 18/6 but 19/6 as I'm trying to get the dark...

Yeah, I read in a lot of places and it makes sense. In fact, first I was really happy with that but now they seem "too" close. But just like I said, it's my first grow so I felt like I should ask around! Once again, thank you all for your help! In a week or so I will post an update here...

I will, thanks!
