Hey everyone.. I've tried to look for this but I'm unsure.. They are just about two weeks old. Under 8 26 w 1500 lum 6500k CFls.. I gave them a quarter strength coco a and b with root excel.. Growing in coco. I have dried them out but they are still drooping.. One has small brown tips. I had the light a few inches away but raised it up.. It did reach some high temps for a few hours a couple times.. I now have the light exhausted. Not sure if the problem is the need nuts don't need nuts. To much water not enough water. I did water one day and then the next one time. I usually waits few days between.

Ok thanks guys. I did not mention week one.. Watered once with 1/4 strength nutrients.. Realized I probably shouldn't have used them. Watered after 5 days with ph'd water 5.6 ish. Went 3 days watered again with phd water. The pots seem to be dry with in a day or two now.. There are so many different opinions on coco and how often to water. One was looking real nasty so I sacrificed it for science.. Decent sized white roots. Anyway there are the pics of a few of them.. I think I dropped the light to low too quick.. Brought it about 8" away now. Let me know thanks

okay dotn feed again for 10 days just water if you do feed 1/16 the amount. but since the soil is dry first add 1/4 cup plain water slowly all over i use a soda bottle with 1/4 inch air hose in cap to water comes out real slow and works great. after it sucks up the water then in a couple minutes water with you light mix till you get 1/2 cup drains out since they are smaller pots. then you wont get nute burn. also if you got a fish air pump and airstone put airstone in water bucket and bubble it for an hr first gives allot more oxygen in the water and your plants will love you. if you dont have to containers and poor water back and forth 10 times fast will add more oxygen to the water also.

yes it is. do you have a tds meter? if not ebay has one i love mine cant remember who told me about this one but its cheap but works great. the only thing is small display so its tough to see the 10x but it flashes so if you get this and it flashes add a 0 behind it so if it says 125 and is flashing its 1250 ppm that way you know what you have and you can record it so you can go up slowly till you hit 1500 or tip burn again like you have now then back off. http://www.ebay.com/itm/271083213086?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

i like24/0 first week then 20/4 for 2 weeks then 18/6 for 1 week then i go to 14/10 for flower for 2 weeks then 12/12 till 10 days before harvest then its 10/14. then when they are ready put them in total dark for 24-48 hrs so the thc builds up. when lights are on it uses thc to make cbm/cbd ect. when they rest in dar they build back mroe thc. and the plant is still alive at 48 hrs dark. never harvest after lights have been on more than 30 min never your buds wont be a good.

cool. get a ph meter. and to test the ph meter use milk which is about 6.4-6.8 that is right were you want your water/feed at. now that is cows milk not your woman's or goats okay. dont over water. dont under water. hit google and research videos so you can see. then do allot of reading.
