Looking very nice awaken. Count me in

 

[alltatup]

Yes, looking real good, but a little stretched. I think they probably need more light intensity to stop that stretching.

 

[Awaken5]

Yes that was what I was thinking, those are just temp. im getting a 800 watt led soon.

 

[alltatup]

Good decision!! They will love it!

looking good Awaken , you could lower the t5 quite a bit even if they are temp. mine are about 6 inches away from the plants if you can keep your hand between light and plant then your ok

 

[alltatup]

Awesome help!!!

 

[Awaken5]

Ok ill bring them down, im a bit concerned because I just found brown spots on them which I thought was heat stress but after looking at the symptom checker it looks like its a problem with the ph

 

[alltatup]

Awaken, are you checking the pH in and the pH runoff? The number one thing to do to prevent problems.

 

[Awaken5]

Yea no ive been checking ph before I water and its been around 6.5 but not the runoff, I just read that you need to do that. Ill check it next time I water

 

[Aloner]

Another first timer like me! Looks like I'm only a week or so ahead of you, too. Will be watching with interest!

Wow its been three days and they have grown so much! Amazing how fast they grow, i'm enjoying this so much to be honest! Ive noticed some potential problems on some of them which I looked up on the Symptom checker but still not sure what exactly the problems are. Im hoping the taco shaped leaves on the one in clay pot isn't root problems, I just noticed the brown spot on one of them when I was taking the pictures. Also the burned spots on the leaves I think are from ph fluctuations, I topped the one in the 4th picture 2 days ago.

They look very good. Overal great health they'll surely bush up. That wrinkling could be sign of an issue but I'm not sure what. Maybe just keep an eye on that one and see it new growth gets better. Good luck

 

[Awaken5]

Thank you, I changed my mind again and I think im going to get a 400 watt hps for these girls.

If your wallet allows look at the 315 CMH runs cooler than the 400 watt HPS better light spectrum all around.

 

[alltatup]

Awaken5 I think you may have a root problem: I looked up the cupping issue on this page:
http://www.growweedeasy.com/cannabis-root-problems

Scroll down on the page to where it says:

Sometimes leaves will tend to cup or curl down due to root problems, like the plant above, but sometimes the curl upwards too, like the poor plant below (this was caused by poor drainage and plant was overwatered, leading to a pretty severe case of root problems)

Am I wrong, or does that look like your leaves?

 

[Awaken5]

I read though this and yes it does look very similar to mine. Thank you

 

[Awaken5]

Yea I looked at that as well, unfortunately dont have the money for it. Thank you though

Week update: Ok so they are 4 weeks old now and they are doing great! Just got my 400 watt HPS in today and everything is looking good so far. I had some ph problems but I know how to fix them now, as well as a light being close to one in the 4th pic and it got burnt. Been using fox farm trio and just plain 6.5 ph water, I was wondering if it would be safe to cut off all of the leaves that are burnt/ph problems?

Hi Awaken, if it was me, I would trim off the burnt bits off your leaves
its looks nicer. I just started a couple of seedlings under an LED and got a little
bit of burn too, I trimmed it. They look healthier trimmed
oh, and that's a nice grow you got going
