Well, this is day 31 on my Auto Seeds Candy Kush.. she's really small.. tight node.. I stopped the nutes after seeing the burn on the lower sets of leaves.. di/ro water with molasses added.. phed to 6.4 water only when dry.. finger test.. was given nutes twice.. FFtrio.. using there feeding chart.. at 1/4 strength.. burned leaves.. second watering/nutes at 1/8.. all water PHed at 6.4 before adding to soil.. using FFO only.. for soil.. just top soiled from settling.. lst.main once.. should I start removing the burned leaves?.. oo lighting t5 HO..set about 2 inches ac blowing inside cab.. (micro).. compared to my DARK DEVIL she's way small.. any advice would be great.. thanks again.. 20130927_201131.jpg20130927_200854.jpg
 
What is the ac made of? If your lights are 2 inches there to close.Optimum heighth for t5,s is one foot.You have nute burn but with such a small dose I can,t understand why this happened.I would flush her with plain water and hold back on nutes for a while until knew growth starts.Why is she so off centered in the pot and not in the middle?
 
I lsted the top.. was going to work get around the pot.. like I'm doing with my DD..she's planted in the middle of the pot.. I got the fixture like two inches away from both.. 1 foot.. wow.. that would be perfect for my set up.. ac piped into cab, blowing across the tops of the pots.. trying to keep cooler air "under" the leaves.. plus two 4 in fans.. circulation.. to keep temps to 74 78 during the day.. 75 during the lights off.. 18/6.. r/h 43 to 45%...diy carbon filter attached to 4 in velocity fan excited.. ill move the light up.. she's due for a watering.. actually yesterday.. I gave it one more day.. and ill use plain di/ro water ph at 6.4.. see how she goes.. thanks for the advice meng.. ESPECIALLY about the distance of the t5s.. :-)

Edit... I also oxygenate the water for about an hour.. check ph then water.. I have never had any run off.. ever..in.fear of over watering.. I did not use peralite in the soil mix..

You can move the lights closer when she starts to flower like six inches but no closer.Also once she gets bigger and gets an good root system you should water until you get runoff because you really can,t overwater at this stage as long as you leave her dry out somewhat before next water.
 
Here's the full shot.. where I put the lights now.. the Candy Kush left DD on right.. so since today well be watering day.. should I water till run off?.. it's a 3 gallon pot.. I can run two gallons at first.. and see where that goes.. thanks again.. 20130928_154936.jpg20130928_154807.jpg20130928_154734.jpg
 
So this is the highest my fixture can be above the plants.. 10inches total.. last pic was 5inches.. so this is right?.. it's not a foot.. but wow that is some distance away.. used to cfls where you p20130928_182000.jpgut it right against it.. just double checking.. thanks again for the quick responses
 
After a couple days with the light raised.. looks much better, I think.. any input on her now?..still haven't watered her yet.. still feels slightly damp.. just a little.. 20130930_053005.jpg
