Seedlings are between 10 days and 2 weeks old. The younger seedlings are in the old box and have taken off like crazy, growing great. The older seedlings in the new LED box and coming along, but growing slower; it's cooler in there than in the other box.
The Widow seedling, front left, is struggling a bit; her cotyledons turned yellow. Her roots are coming down, though. We shall see. Behind her is Jack, and he has more roots than anyone else. If Widow doesn't get strong, I will remove her and let Jack have half the box.
All 4 seedlings in old box have lots of Sativa in them; they are growing toward the light and putting out nice big leaves.

HPS plants are thriving, and they're a week younger than the LED plants.
LED plants are coming along, but I think it's been a bit cool for them, and I know they need a bit more heat than the HPS box. Cindy99 (front right), however, is outdoing herself and is front runner.
Here's a funny little miracle re-birth: The WW (front left above) has struggled just a tad, and her first two leaves turned completely yellow. Her cotyledons turned necrotic almost immediately, so she was hungry. Throughout this past week after feeding, her first leaves changed from yellow back to green. Whatta fabulous plant.

TROUBLE IN LED BOX:
3 out of four are struggling. Cindy 99 seems to be doing fine, but the other three have had their lowest leaves turn yellow with some dry, brittle brown splotches appearing. I am flushing them for 48 hours with some Grapefruit Seed Extract added to the plain water just in case there were any bad microbes around. While my HID box is doing great, all growing like beasts. I gave both boxes the same amount of nutrients in mid-week, and I think that was a mistake with the LED box, whose plants aren't anywhere near as advanced as the plants in the HID box.
This is WW; her roots will start to descend, and then they just shrivel. You can see the one on the right side in front doing just that. She's the smallest, been struggling all along. The leaves I thought were turning green went total yellow, and it's moving up.
Bad Azz Kush:
This is Jack; I snipped the crispy brown parts of the lowest leaves, but it spread upwards.
Cindy seems fine (upper right); WW is definitely stunted, but I believe they will bounce back. I sure hope so.
My BCNL rep immediately blamed it on bad genetics before he even knew anything about my grow conditions. That's just stupid. I'm going to ask him to refer me to someone else who's better at listening and explaining.

Howdy alltatup, Sorry to hear that You are having problems with Your grow. I have not used LEDs, so I do not know much about them, but since you are having problems only with the LED plants, could there be a problem with 'hot spots' from the LEDs? How are the temperatures (water and air) ranging? Is there aeration of the reservoirs? In the attached photos there seem to be places where light could infiltrate into the reservoirs. What is the silver bar like item on the right hand side in between the plants? If both of Your grows are setup the same, except for the lights, then I would suspect the lights may be part of the problem, either too close or too far away. On my CFL grows, I have noticed as the leaves grow on the upper portion of the plant, the lower leaves get 'shaded out', turn a slight shade of grey green, shrivel, and fall off.
It could be a simple thing or a combination of several things. Good luck and I hope that it clears up.

Hi Atu
the netcup (with roots) you are displaying is really dry. is the level in the reservoir high enough? (are water droplets getting from the surface to the netcup)
should have asked to speak to his manager
how dense are those white lids? (did they cheap out on manufacturing, between your HID tent and LED tent?)
and, those COBs, are they fixed, in position? (do they move up and down?)

I'm sorry for your babies, hope they get better soon. Wish I knew something to help, but you have been my guide. They are in good hands. That much I know.... 🌱🌱🌱🌱
