Just the top is dry. Buckets are heavy and moist. I wana be sure its not overwatering

Your soil looks like dirt not soil. Did you possibly over water? Also how far is your light from your plant?

26 days? wow they should be a bit bigger lower the light

Madmike79 · Nov 11, 2020

Looks like dirt they should definitely look bigger at 26 days what are you feeding them, and where did you get soil/dirt from.

GeneBanker · Nov 11, 2020

I’m guessing backyard dirt, light @ 4ft lower your light. Get a better medium, water when soil is dry.

I bought the soil from store. I have used it many times before. I have only giving water because they are so small

Feed it
Then it will start taking up water faster

Lurkmoarrr · Nov 11, 2020

The cooltube is about 40cm away from the plants...

ptrzm · Nov 11, 2020

Looks like light burn. Upper leaves bleached, lower green. Hard to tell with HPS on, take pics under normal light.

I have removed the top layer of the small rocks (rocks that you use in hydro) just in case there was overwatering, that is why its look like dirt. No i have not used any nutrients yet only water. I trsanplanted these about 2 weeks ago to bigger pot and in the soil have nutrients allready. Sorry my bad english

Stems are purple, is it ok?

Another symptom of light burn. Move your lamp further away, seedlings do not require 400w at 40cm.

Okay. But in the second plant there is no purple in the stems, it just not grow. Are these plants salvageable or should i just put new ones to grow and use 200w cfl on vege and hps on flowering? This is my first time using hps, i always used cfl lamps with good results

Personally I would start again, as stunting the plant like this early on can affect it for its whole life. Better to have a clean slate than invest months into a crippled plant.

As it's a photo (I assume), you might still be able to save it if you really want to. If it's an auto, definitely start over.
