After watering the plants the first day after transplanting the rockwool to soil, some of the leaves are starting to droop slightly and the outer edges are turning a bright yellow with dark green veins.

I have tested the water PH levels, added nute per instructions and am using a sprayer to spray around the rockwool for watering.

How can I make the leaves perk up a bit?

It's now Week 2 of vegging from the clones I picked up from my clinic. I put in a humidifier and the plants look much happier and seem to be growing quicker :)

Some observations:

I see some yellowing of the tips curling up (not sure if its heat burn or mag deficiency).

Two of my OG KUSH plants seem to be growing much slower than the rest - these two were separated from the same rockwool so maybe some root damage? They are starting to show signs of growth, although with clawing of older leaves. New leaves seem to look much better. I am seeing green stem/branch grown on top.



My 3rd OG KUSH (different strain) seems to be doing much better than the other two KUSH plants.


G-13 was a slow starter but is now starting to show some growth spurts. The smaller brother underneath is starting to grow as well. I am seeing yellowing of tips as well as a slight purplish dark greenish color to one of the leaves. Green stem/branch growth is showing on top and bottom.


My Querkle plant seems to be growing the healthiest! It looks beautiful with many leaves and growth toward the base. This one looks the coolest by far :)



Overall - all of my plants look a darker shade of green than before. Just last week, all of my plants were more of a fluorescent green color, much lighter.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated as this is my first grow :bigjoint:

By the way, I am using Fox Farm soil and Fox Farm Grow Big. Watering every 3 days or so.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks dagobaker :)

Do you guys think the plants look healthy? Especially the two Kush plants above?

By the way - just smoked some Blue Cheese and this stuff is great!

Just got a fan and glass for my reflector as well as a pair of yo yo hangers. I can now hang my lights closer without worrying about burn. The lights have now been lowered from about 36" above the top of the plants to about 13".

Watered the plants today with half teaspoon of Grow Big.

Hopefully the lower lights and today's drink of water and nutes will help these babies veg fuller and faster :)

Any comments/suggestions appreciated. Thanks!

Sounds good bro, I have one suggestion for you though
I would shorten the length of your ducting, having it that long is not very efficient
Keep up the nice work

Thanks for the advice Tom! I've been meaning to shorten those things - I was waiting to get another fan to exhaust the reflector to finish off my setup - which I picked up today :) Will post new pics soon.

How many weeks into veg should one start to trim and train? I want to do this right so I get a nice fat yield :)

So far so good or do I have some concerns? The babies are showing good growth, although I'm starting to see some funny spots and coloration on some of the leaves. Pics below.

Any ideas guys? I'm thinking it might be heat burn from the recent lowering of the lights. I'm using a 400W HPS and it's sitting about 15 inches from the top of the tallest plant.
