Well, its been week 2 and some days now. They've been through alot of trauma which is pretty much my fault. Over or underwatering, not sure which, the soil is always, always dry so there was a moment where I would keep the soil moist but not over watered (w/ the moisture meter). I was then told that wasn't smart. Anyways, their climate was from a lovely 74-76F, now at a 83-86.7F, the CFL fixture I mounted improperly fell on the cups resulting in the plants soil getting tossed and the plants getting thrown around. Anyways, its been a long and very newbish 2 weeks.

Here are the pictures I have. I would just like some input on what these colors and textures mean. The first and second picture are the same plant. Showing different angles. The leaves are crispy as hell and yellow tipped. The newer leaves trying to form are brown. And the stem is dark maroonish. The stem might be normal colored, I'm not sure? I just thought that it was supposed to be green like everything else.

Picture number 3 is of a second plant. Looks droopy as hell and should be signs of watering issues? Also has same colored stem. I'm confused, I'm impatient (but I'm working on that) and I'm a bit disappointed/frustrated. I've been looking forward to having a successful grow on my own and I can't even complete a vegetation state.. =\ *sigh*









And forgive me for posting very blurry pictures. My phone suuucks. Thanks for your time. And for the sadists out there, Enjoy!

are you using miracle grow soil? or watering with nutes already? they look burnt from chemicals in the soil or the water. They don't need that yet. Probably be quicker to start new seeds and fix the problem quicker.

Neutral water, so the pH is 7. no nutrients thus far. Not using Miracle Grow, I'm using fox farms Ocean soil. So yeah, probably a couple headstones and a few good words might help 'em eh?
