These babys are 4 weeks old.The leaves are pale-ass yellow and not pretty green like they should be.The tips are burnt. I recently flushed them and they now have a 500 ppm. Too much light too soon? They are under 1800 watts on one tray.I shut down 2 lights today. All the other plants in the room are 14 by 14 and ready to flower. Please give me advice as to what to do with these sick plants. I have 15 of them. Can I treat them and then flower in a week or two? Thanks , any advice ,comments appreciated.

how is 80 high? during the summer its gets up to 100 here and I'm in CANADA... try to keep it under 90 and remember that unless you are measuring the temp where the light is you wont have an accurate reading.. heat rises remember.. 1800 watts is a tonn of heat.. the room may be 80 but right where the light is pointed could be close to 100.. where is your thermometer located in the room?

yea,, i hope its a typo,, the electric bill is going to cost more than street value for those plants... how many plants you say you have?

It doesnt look like heat stress at all to me, it looks like some nutrient lockup due to something, what is the medium? and if it is in soil than you have your answer raise ph. you have major deficencies so either you fried those ladies with nutes or ph was off for awhile or maybe severe root rot.

i think normally people need to lower their pH.. i think there are very few circumstances you need to raise pH,, unless you overcompensated with lowering the pH... but if it is nute defic it could be locking up.. find out your pH and if it is high (6.5+) find a product with a high concentration of phosphoric acid (the second number in the sequence[N-P-K]) and if it is low (<6) find a product with high potash (the third number in the sequence [N-P-K])

Thanks Chuckbane and all. That is useful. The 1800 is not a typo and that is over one tray of 40 babys and 6 adult plants. The other tray is 40 adults under 3000 watts so the temp is high. I plugged in a portable ac unit that was 30 amps and all the power blew out. That is because we have the flowering room as well. Lot o electricity. Growing hydro in coco and perlite.So I think youguys are right. Too much light, I raised them and I think that getting started with a 1200 ppm was a mistake too. So I raised the lights and now it is 500 ppm. Started 12/12 yesterday.Will post follow up pics to see how they are doing 3 or 4 weeks from now. I am also going to test the ph again and use the info that Chuckbane gave me to fix the nutrient defiency. I am currently using general hydroponics grow, microgrow and bloom.

Dear lord...let me make this a little more visible. HOW OFTEN DO YOU ADD NUTRIENTS TO YOUR PLANTS? This looks like nute lock more than anything.

Pidgeon,

I add nutes for 6 minutes every 12 hours. It is just enough to fill the tray and go back down to the 100 gallon rez. Tonight I noticed that the babys were really heavy and I realized that there was too much coco in there holding too much water so I transplanted them all to new coco and perlite. They liked that a lot. I know it sounds stupid but I have been way baked lately.The ppm is at 700 and the ph is 6.0. Should I change anything now?
