Plants have brown spotting and feel very dry...help...will +REP!

Pictures are in the post below!

Hey everyone. Here I have six 3.5 week old White Skunk. They have been grown indoors in a closet.

4 x 42W and 2 x 26W CFLs
Watered only when soil was dry about an inch deep
2 gallon pots

A few days ago, I made an epsom salt and water solution. I sprayed it on the plants and undersides with a generic water bottle sprayer. I read on the FAQ this should be only done weekly.

The lights have been super close the last few days and I've been making sure not to over water at all. I haven't been giving them nutrients at all yet because I am afraid they are too young (?? am i wrong).

I really need some help...I feel like these guys are going south fast and really need to recover them FOR SURE.

Here are the pictures...

your problem looks slightly similar to mine, if you find a solution please let me know. I think my plant will be dead within a week if I cant find a solution. I have already flushed it and I stopped giving it nutes because this problem started shortly after I started it on nutes...

I moved these guys outside for a few hours to catch some fresh air and a little bit of the setting sun. They are now back inside under the CFL bulbs. Gave them a little bit of water and I am now waiting.

They did seem to become greener outside, not sure if that is true or not...but I'm really hoping these guys recover. Not sure if this is a pH problem or what...that will be my next guess.

mp377t, have you been checking your pH levels? I haven't checked mine at all since they started since I don't have a meter, but I'm going to probably go buy one tomorrow or this weekend.

what kind of epsom salt did you buy?

Checking the ph on these plants is probably your best first guess.

That's what I would do.

If you mean "brand"...I'm not sure...but I got it in the pharmacutical department at Wal-Mart.

Sounds great...I suppose I'll check it out

cause theres a few dif kinds of epsome salts does it say on the bag that you can use it as plant fertalizers?

The guy at Paradigm said I need to start using fertilizer. And that it should cause the pH to lower it the soil.....so I started that today and lets hope the little guys recover.
