New Grower First (hopefully not of many!) problems

[Land-rover]

Hello all!
first can I apologise for the URL, my laptop is dead and this is the only way I can think of to show you pictures!

so as you'll see the little plants don't look to great! The first leaves are yellowing, second leaves don't look great either. One also seems to be growing sideways?

grown in just standard supermarket compost. Flushed all plants with ph treated water last night and haven't fed them for about a week. Any help? Thanks!

Hey dude, I'm far from being an expert, I think maybe your soils too rich in nutrients? I'm sure an expert will pop in soon to help you out, but to help them out you'll need to provide a bit more info I think. Lights? Temperatures? What they were fed with? Everythings taken into account when someone diagnoses a plant without being there.

Best of luck bro!

Sorry this post has gone up 3 times, first 2 didn't appear to work!
not sure on temp, no thermometer yet. Light is 1x600W. Nutrients are Dutch pro original bloom (1/4 of stated dose).
the compost says it has 2 weeks of food in it. Could this be the problem?

Soil looks a bit wet to me. Keep it more dry to let the Roots fill out and breathe. I wouldnt start Babys direct under a 600w thats way too much Light Power for them. A 200w Cfl or a t5 fixture wil do it for the First days/week.

Medic grower,
thanks for the reply. Have been shit scared of letting them dry out so have given them plenty of water, will cut back on it.
the first week or so I kept them on the windowsill. They've been under the light for about 5 days now.
think I should go back to the windowsill? Just got a new car so don't have the cash to buy another light!

A good formula to water is give 10% of the Podsize volume each watering so u will have a good 10-20 % drain. For example i have 8 l pods so i water 800ml each time and it works out perfect.

Ok if anyone's still looking at this, iv made some changes.
firstly I looked at my thermometer this morning and the temp in my cupboard was +45 celcius!! Way too high obviously so I took drastic action.
iv build a small greenhouse type thing in my garage. It's 120cm square and made from a wooden frame I knocked up wrapped in cling film. I have given it 4 layer with half inch spacers splitting the layers into 2X2 seperated by an air gap for insulation. Got the light in there now and will update soon with pictures and temperature readings

Little update, temp is now good at just under 28. The little darlings look very happy! A fellow grower has offered me 2 plants a week into flower so later today my little diesels will have some purple friends
