Not entirely sure what’s going on here, plants are obviously stressed.. Any suggestions? They were vegging fine under t5’s then I moved them into my tent with a pretty powerful spyder2p, but was careful to dim the light substantially and also keep the girls out of the direct footprint. Not sure if they’re just stressed from the move or there is something else going on here? Maybe overwatering or a ph issue? The environment is pretty dialed in around 80F with 55%Rh at about 1000ppm co2 with lights on. Lights off is 70F around 50%Rh. This is a hybrid sealed tent with an air exchange about 4 times a day.

They not looking healthy could be a variety of reasons, im not going to write a book if this page keeps being glitchy while I try and help others

bottom leaves are yellowing it looks like a nitrogen deficiency. Increase your feed

Edit: they look either under watered or over watered but it's hard to tell at this point. i would say they are the first signs of over watering

First of all soil compaction is a big lack of understanding for many new growers. Next you need at least 200 true watts for each plant. Just as important you are using plastic containers no side holes. You need many

You also need a soft fan at that point 1 meter away, oscillating side to side. Never have fan blowing downward

they are over watered and they have a nitrogen deficiency by the looks of those lower leaves

Be careful who you listen to on here so many noobs. If you are using feed, use with a medium like rootfarm and use the lets grow brand by GET and only as directed. It is not a ph problem may be hard water but not ph. I start with low sodium spring water then straight tap water mine with a ph of 9 city water

Thanks for the replies.. gonna let them dry out quite a bit before giving them any more water. might try moving a couple directly underneath the light to see if there’s any difference. Also there is a 16 inch oscillating fan just a little bit above the canopy, the air flor feels pretty good.

Ive grown lots of successful grow in the past with city water ph 9, is rather high but the biggest mistake people make is soil compaction and those containers should be sitting in bowls elevated and let water just a bit run off every time very important so all your soil is watered evenly and there's no pooling

Trust me dude let them dry out a little bit until those leaves perk up a bit and reach for the light. make sure you've got your feeding schedule on point as well :)

ph 9 will make your plants suffer. if you are growing in coco soil you want ph 6. and if you are using just normal soil then you want about 6.5 ph

Make holes throughout your container. If you are scared to vibrate well just hold the container while drilling use big bit. Don't worry water will not drain out the sides. You especially need bottom holes but everywhere is great. Don't worry about vibrating the soil. Its a good thing

I agree and next time no soil compaction! Make sure it is flaked no big chunks

Your plant may take a week or 2 between waterings when small and big like mine, soon as every 2 days 48 hours and 14 liters or more

Not sure what lights you are using a spectrum at 6500k or higher for shorter plants there is hard training too but i prefer soft even plant growing into ceiling is soft training

If you lack ventilation if you have soil compaction and often overwatering is a result of these things said earlier, light is not the issue other than if there's too much heat from the light. If your room is always too humid is bad. You need a fan. Keep humidity below 50%
