E) Temperature: 20-25 degrees Celcius Humidity: 50%
F) light schedule first 10 days 24, Now 20/4

Nutrients: A) Ph levels at 5.5-6
B) will be using powder feeding by Greenhouse Seeds (Indica)

This will be my first grow, and I can see signs of stress, it seems to be getting worse. Any input would be great about what I should add/do to my set up, and what to do about this seedling, etc. Will keep everyone posted.

That is a lot of plants to grow under 1 light. What have you added to the water at this point?

 

[Heisenberg]

So far I've only added PH down and a root stimulator. On a scale from 1-10, how bad is this seedling? Can you give me a recommendation on the lighting? Thanks

Update: Day 21 of Auto Purple Cheese. Plant got a little bigger, but I still cant figure out the issue with the leaves (particularly the older ones). Only PH water the past 3 weeks, and I'm scared to give it the powder feeding nutes by Green House seeds. The tips of the leaves are crispy and I'm not sure if I should trim the edges. Lighting is 20/4. Check out my pics and let me know what you think.

Auto Super Critical Beans germinated in one day with the paper towel method. Decided to try soil for these babies, and one one of them died in a rockwool cube (unfortunately). Any feedback would be more than helpful. I'll keep everyone posted.

It looks like a nitrogen deficiency I think. I would give em some veggie nutes and see what happens. You might post in the infirmary section as I don't have much experience with hydro setups.

Update: Day 25 and Day 7
Purple Cheese: Gave 1/4 Nutes (GHS Powder feeding) and 5 grams of epsom salt. The reservoir is 20 liters even though it can support up to 35. It seems to be getting better the last 2 days so i think it's working.

Super Critical (GHS): Looking great. I just add 1 liter of PH water and bio root stimulator. I only water when the soil is very dry and it seems to be working. The seedlings are a lot taller at this stage compared to the purple cheese. Could this be stretching?

Grow room and changes: I will add 3 105W CFLs 6400K and a 400w HPS (Flowering Spectrum) in the next few days. I'm only waiting for the eBay shipment. I've changed back to 24 hours since I feel my Purple Cheese is stunted.

I'm very excited about this grow. Let me know what you think about my lighting plans, etc.

Your light could be bleeching the leaves mate, plus maybe not enough nutes so they could be eating the stored energy in there leaves? Hope it works out for you dude. Karma your way man!

Yeah they were bleaching them... it stopped though since I moved the lights up. Will I get decent results if i just use this LED and the CFLs with growth spectrum during the flowering period (Auto SUper Critical)?
Super Critical Seedlings are looking great at Day 10.. still only ph water and root stimulator.
Auto Purple cheese has better looking leaves but it's still small in height at Day 28. I gave it full nutes a couple days ago, but I'm sure my seedlings will pass her in about a week or so. Will it be worth keeping her? I'm willing to keep it if it's willing to yield 10 or 20 grams.. i just want to try the cheese lol
I got the CFL's from ebay and the HPS. I'm still waiting for the hangers for the CFL's, and the I have no idea how to wire the electrical box of my 400W HPS.
