Ok so we are now at 48 hours since I water/fed them. Are they looking any better? I have removed most of the dead leaves at this point.

Much better, and now you have better chance to deprive em from water, still survive with much better growth.

later you can manipulate them to drink at the same time, just develop that vicious root system first.

They look better judging by the newer upper growth. Nice and perky and no heavy yellowing.

You haven't answered if your PHing your feed water yet, or what PH it is if you are phing it? This could just be a PH issue. I had a friend with similar plants who just started growing in a tent and his plants literally stayed this small for like 3 weeks, he found out his waters PH from his tap was like 8 PH. Changed his PH to 6.5 and the plants literally grew overnight a few inches.

Yes i ph the water to 6.5.

Hey bud, one of the things you will find here that you pointed out are differing opinions. That is the nature of sites like this. Sometimes the best thing to do is look at some of the stuff posted by those giving advice. Many show grow pics and have proven track records. Find one that grows in similar circumstances to yours and try to PM that poster. If they have already contributed advise they will likely be willing to help you. It can be very difficult for new growers to figure out what to do and when they get so many conflicting answers it only makes things worse. This is nothing against any particular poster but rather about an overflow of conflicting information that can lead the OP to confusion rather than certainty. Good luck bud.

Yes that is a good plan for sure. Basically what I've been doing is going with the majority. If more people say water i water...

Yeah, it's common and almost everyone you will find here is giving you their best advice. I just find it difficult sometimes to sift through it all and for those looking for advice it can be confusing. I am sure you will find someone here that you can hook up with one on one to give you some advice and avoid so many voices. Good luck fellow gardner, big buds are a coming.

Bearing in mind I only used water no feed till week 2 the ph of water was 7.5 ph on week 2 I try to get to 6 to 6.5 ph build up with feed week to full over a few watering times a little more each time (every 2 days ) im using autos so it may be a little different
I change my feed to molasses when starting to blume just 10 mil this adds taste and sugar i won't use bud enhancer cos if u don't flush right it will taste like shite.
Every grow a little different look at a grow journal of your seeds and don't be disappointed most are done in lab conditions.

So I watered them last night with half strength 20-13-10. I used one gallon of water between all of them. The 600w mh is 24" above them. This is how they look 24 hours later

Whats the temps? What's the lights? Led need higher temps and that's why they could be droopy... too cold

That doesn't always work depending on the forum. If you had asked this on Reddit for example, I bet 9 out of 10 people would have told you to add more cal-mag to fix your issue. lol

Thankyou for your opinion sir. Not trying to start arguments here, just want everyone's opinion so I can make a informed decision based on lots of experienced peoples data.
This is the best site on the planet by far. More info and help then anyone trying to grow could ever ask for.
If we open lines of discussion we can all gain from each others knowledge ..
