Is Temp Causing this?

So I live in New England and at night the temp in my house gets down around 55 to 60 degrees F. (yeah cause I'm a cheap *ss) I'm not sure if they yellow leaves and the "wilting" is caused by the temp. The temp during the day averages 70 to 76 F in the closet with the vent fans going. Any thoughts.....

It normal for smaller immature leaves to yellow and fall.

They don't look bad, and those temps are fine.

When it's cool like that they can go without watering longer, and I suspect they are dropping from over watering, not wilting.

If the humidity is low, you should mist them at least once a day.

I see a little nute burn - the little brown specs, but nothing to worry about. They look fine.

That's not nearly enough light and I'll bet you could use a little more air flow.

The last grow I did I used the same amount of lighting all the way through flower. Ended up with 5 female plants and 2.5 - 3oz of smoke..........soo I would tend to think that the lights are fine and not causing the yellowing of the leaves.

:peace:

Okay I will pick up somthing to mist them with. Is there a time that is better than others to mist? (ie right before the lights go off?) Might be a little nute burn I use MG moisture control soil ( I know some don't like it but I had really good luck with it last time and never had to add nutes made for a pretty hands off grow) Could be slightly over watering. (still used to the larger ones I plucked in Nov). Thanks for the input green :)

i dont know where he got his info but thats not normal for vegging plants to yellow and lose leaves..... they need nitrogen and dont worry about your lights. more would help but if youve used the same setup before then it must work. my plants are 4 weeks old now and have no yellowing like that. although i did trim alot of shit on them the few original 3 point fan leaves i still have are green as ever

oh and dont mist them unless you have good air flow and a fan on them also do it early like right after lights are on. youll burn them up if the water just sits there and dries from the light. i havent misted mine as all besides when they first sprouted

Air flow is pretty good I have doubled the air flow I had on my last grow and I have a fan blowing on the plants during the whole light cycle. Alright so....Don't mist the leaves?? I never did before and come to think of it the humidity prob was pretty low in here in the summer as I ran a a/c the whole summer in the room as temps were just to high.
