1st offwhen your light are out your fan should be of also. if your watering when your soil is dryed out some then you are fine their. are you feeding the nutes.yet.

can you get any pictures? It might want to be feed some nitrogen if the leaves are a light green instead of being dark green

thats what im thinking, just waiting onthat anwser.

the leaves are dark green and im feeding them on canna terra vega at 1/4 strengh as its the 1st week of them having it . i water them wiv 5 sprays of water at 8am and 8pm and ever 3 days i water by pouring water in . the soil is crusty in the morning ready for the 8am spray .. and i will turn the stem fan off when lights out then however th e lights only out for 2 hours lol i turn light off at 9am and back on again at 11am as im doing a 22 on 2 off light pattern ..

I have had this same problem in an air tight box I build to hold my mother plants. My problem was the air flow, like you I left the fans on 24 hours and it dried the plants (humidity got way low). When the light is on the plants it evaporates the water from the leaf surface, to replace this water the roots suck it up (and the nutes) and send it down the trunk to the branches, then to the leaves. If you are always blowing the air away from the leaves then water will not be able to get back up to them in time causing them to dry out. For me I just turned the fans off completely and this fixed it for the moms in a veg state. But, first and the easiest thing you should do is point the fans up to heat (hot air rises) or down to cool (cold air falls) or to the side for a cirlce, not right on the plants. This way you will still move the air around in the room with out wicking water away from the plants. That alone might fix it but a simple timer to have the fans go on and off will cut back on the wind but low HUMIDITY around the leaves turning brown is the problem if the air is to dry then the leaves lose water too fast, you could get a humidifier and or a timer with a hydrometer to turn things on and off, also get a $20 min/max temp/hydrometer and check it you might not need the fans other than to blow the hot air out of the top and bring in fresh cool air at the bottom. If it isn't this then its either your nutes or your PH being to high or low

bro there ain't nothing wrong with those babies, they look great. just keep that soil moist as seedlings. it looks a bit dry. good job keepit up.

wow u sure lol i was really worrying koz they look dry lol so now iv turnt the fan around so it blows around the plants rather than at then ?? also have u heard of any feed back on using canna terra vega ?? i also have canna terra flores for flowering fort it would be a good idea to use same brand for both ..

Using liquid iron is a good way to return greeness to your leaves most plants that leaves will turn shady or fade normally have a iron handicap ...iron is what makes ur plant green try giving it a table spoon of liquid iron in a 1 gallon jug and water um with that see how they do

u have a plant iron defect

i think the leaves look fine. the medium looks very dry. wet up a bit. turn fans off at night.

yh jus wet soil and gna turn fan off between 8pm till i water again at 8am
n were do i get iron things lol

i forgot to say just mist themwith water, that will help.

Hey bro, Your soontobe Girlies are looking good, They are too young for nutrients, Stop giving them any!!

Don't stress a fan yet, wait another 2 weeks then start using it again.

You are using fluorescents and they do not get that hot, so you do not need a fan yet.

Stop over observing, and let them grow. They are looking good.

the guy in the hydro grow shop who is also a very close family friend said that it would be fine to give them nutes frm 2weeks dude ??? shall i stop ???

They look like good healthy seedlings in the pictures, I've never done to much with soil but when I grew my first seeds in rockwool I didn't balance the PH first so the edges started to turn yellow and then move in. I soak the rockwool in 5.5 PH water now, also when I water my moms I add nutes and PH down to bring it to 5.5 but that is something I just guessed is the right thing so check up on how to balance PH in soil. Oh and if the middle top part of the plant is bright green, then its a sign of new growth, and if there is new don't worry about the old (only in the veg state, flower worry about it all)
