shivaskunk sensi seeds..

fox farm ocean soil + ~ 30% perlite .

rain water (ph ~6.5)

germed well. but they have been around two weeks and it just seems really small

temp 75~85

humid is ~50 most time.

aircooled hps600w about 3ft away right now(18/6)..

air ventelated well, fan blowing to the leafs

no nutes yet,

i dont spray over the leaf...

what would be the problem of those yellow spots on plant 1?

why are these growing so slow...? they have been almost 3weeks.

There is a definite nutrient issue here which is either PH lockout or there is simply no nutrients, has the soil been used before? If it were me I would start with a very low dose of nutrients and see if there is any improvement.

I've heard FF soil isn't good for starting/transplanting seedlings in.......cause it burns 'em up.

yellow spots are from hot spots on the plant. slow growth is most likely yo much water...
Your leaves are starting to droop.

let the soil dry ALOT. get a moister meter and make sure its dry to the bottom. I bet after it drys a bit and then water and do this over a weeks time. Your plant will shoot up.

I've noticed that also. My little ones like to be BONE dry before I water them.....even still sometimes it seems they get over watered.

thank you thank you.. moved them ft away from the light.
will water less ..

yellow spots are still there in a plant. should i move em back to CFL for 24hrs along with others or keep it in the HPS for 18/6.

just didnt want to shock the plant by going back to 24hrs.

three feet is along way for your seedlings See how the third one had to reach for the light. It is air cooled and probable should be MH lighting. But it will do. You got pleanty of fert advice
