This is my first attempt, so I started with white widow seeds as they seem to be most forgiving. They've been in veg stage for about 1.5 weeks now, and I have some wierd issues. I've been lurking these forums for the past month, as well as investing in some books, but I still wanted to ask for some advice before i do something stupid 
See pictures below.
My setup:
- 3 WW feminized seeds
- 3 50W CFLs for first week, and now I switched to 400 MH (this is when my issues started getting worse). Will flower under 400 HPS. also have 3 CFLs for additional light if needed.
- MG potting soil (oh how I regret this). It started at roughly 7.3 PH, and I was able to get it down to 6.7 or so couple days ago. I will check the run off next time I water to make sure.
- 20-20-20 peter's nutes for veg (will slowly start adding them 3rd week of veg)
- Temps are unfortunatly have been 80-82 for the last week. Will hopefully get it down to 76-78 once my new reflector comes in. (didn't realize how much heat 400 MH was going to produce!)
- Humidity is at 50%
Questions:
1) 2 of my girls have wierd spots on leaves. (see pics) They had it since the beginning, and new growth also shows similar signs. 3rd plant is completely fine. I thought this was ph related, but after lowering it slightly I haven't seen any improvements. Any ideas? Is this just wierd genetics and I should ignore?
2) Leaf edges on all 3 plants are starting to curl up. It seems like it's due to heat stress; can anyone confirm?
3) I wanted to invest into better soil and perhaps get larger containers. My plan is to start flowering in a week or so - I don't want them to get very big, since I only have 400W light. Is it too late at this point or can I still do it without causing too much stress?
4) Does anyone have personal experience with WW and their response to topping/LST ? I'm eager to try Uncle Ben's topping method, but I don't want them to become even more bushy...again.. the concern is that then 400W light won't be enough for 3 huge plants.
