So basically ive 6 mini plants that are 8-10 days old. Northern lights. Theyre under 4 2.7k lumens 40w CFLs and 2 flusfluo 40w. 2 looks greats but 4 looks like mutants.

They either have one of their 4 first leaves totally yellow-grey. Or that leaf looks like a seed and is yellow as well. Ive put the CFLs a little over cause they were almost touching the plants. Ive never tested the PH of my water, I just get normal water, open it up 2hours, then give it to my plant once the bottom of the soil is dry (every 2days). Theyre on a 18-6 cycle. temperature is alwyas in the 65-80 range. Humidity ive no idea. I just recently added aluminium all over the plants so the lights get reflected. Ive a fan blowing air 24/7 and a AC right next to it so I highly doubt it has anything to do with air.

Any ideas? I just put them back under the 2x 40w flusfluos for a while till they look green over the 4 leaves. Beside that it seems like its slowing their growing as well. I mean some of them just flew high up but are slow as it it now.

It seems like theyre stunt and are not growing cause of that. I made a mistake (ohwell its my first time so no biggie) of transplanting them at a early stage. Theyre in shock. I was wondering something now, how look am I suppose to be waiting before they get back to normal? I was told 1week ish and could be longer since theyre young.

And something else about watering. I read somewhere here that watering is the best before plants go to night cycle. Then I was told by someone else that thats nono since moisture could be easily formed that way. I should water at the start of the light cycle... Whos saying right?

What is that suppose to mean?
I read everything i can. But ive 2 sources of informations saying 2 different things and each saying their point of view which both make sens.

-Water night because root are working
-Water night cause more moisture and could damage.

So whats true? And when should I water?

on soil i stick a finger in if its moist i dont water, when i do water i water around mid day on the plants time so that the water heats up a bit before lighs off. keeps the roots warmer dont think it matters tho that more of how i do it.
