I'm not sure if I'm good here...come one come all

[Rmj512]

Okay. I am a newb. Cool. I get it. Now that we have taken care of introductions, does anyone have some guidance here?
I am on day 8 of my seedsman easy ryder (left and middle) and fast buds green crack (right)
**smaller plants are misc seeds**

Today i had to make a modification on my box, so I took the girls outside in the sun while i did so (only a 10 min project).

In that time i guess the fan inside my box wasnt even the slightest bit strong, because the wind tore up my one of my plants, she wont stand back up right on her own yet, she is under the lights again.

Also, i noticed one of the seedlings leaves are turning up and look maybe slightly yellow I honestly cannot tell, i am nervous...i have read one to many horror stories.

My questions are this....if i get a 2 speed clip on fan in Target that should solve the problem with strenghting the roots right?

and wtf is wrong with the leaves turning up! I DONT WANA GET TURNT UP!

please advise!! NEED HELP! Thanks AFN! Sorry for the crappy pics

You didn't mention the wattage and kind of lights used but to me it looks like the classic over stretch due to insufficient wattage or the lights are too far away. Skip the fan and put your lights closer and or get more light. 6 pack of 23w CFL's at my local big box store are about $14 US. Yes ventilation is important but it's light specifically it's intensity that strengthen plants not air flow. If you go the CFL route get three two way splitters screw one into a lamp base and the other two into the 1st splitter to make a 4 way 92w fixture. This should get you by for a little while. One for each plant and you would probably get a nice harvest even. Best of luck, happy growing
On the right is the 4 way 92 watt fixture I speak of. I made a reflector out of some flashing I had laying around from a roofing project. On the left is a 300w LED I got off amazon for $119.95 US shipped, it draws 135w But still thats $0.89 a watt. Hope this helps.

Steady, RMJ, we have your back

Prop her up a bit, and don't blame yourself. Wind and even full sunlight can be hard on small plants, as well as the temp and humidity change. I've had gals literally go face first in the dirt and bounce back to be great smoke
Good air flow is critical, but don't use it as a work out routine A very gentle swaying in the breeze will do. I finished at least 2 grows with a wally world 4" clip fan. It's not ideal, but they work.

has had serious pH issues lately, and the OF runs hot for autos. Happy Frog would have been the better bet, but next time I'd nix altogether.
You look like you're getting some nute burn, and might have to just ride it out. Keep your soil from getting too dry or wet, just to minimize it's pH swings.
Do adjust your lights to minimize the stretch. What cycle are you on?

sorry im using a 250watt MH grow light currently, i have about 10 cfls with all of the splitters, but im running between 79-83 degrees right now so im nervous about that

My light cycle is 18-6 right now and for my soil im using Dr. Earth pot of gold, but i did have to soak my plants with their first watering with tap water that only sat for about 6 hours, so maybe that has something to do with it as well.

Thanks for the feedback guys, i was writing this on the trainride home lol so i was rushed, explains the lack of details. again thanks for the info and feedback, keep it coming for sure. I am going to lower my lights and maybe add some more cfls once i get a better feel for what the temp is going to be with or without the clip on fan

My fault, Brother, I was checking out your first grow and jumped the gun
