Hey guys hows it going? Just need to know how my plants are doing they are around 2.5 -3weeks old.
Medium- canna terra professional
PH- i put it in at 6.0 it comes out 5.8
Light- started with 130 watt cfl now in 400 watt metal halide with cooltube and exhausts. Its curently about 35 cm away
Temps- always inbetween 22-26. Lights off temp is at 18/19. Light schedule is 18/6 i currently have given them there first feed of cana vega organic quarter strength and quarter strength cal/mag and a rooting development called plant starter which has done wonders . I started with the cfl and they where doing awesome as soon as i changed them to metal halide a few days ago they started getting tips curling up and browning with droopy leaves they seem to be doing better now. I topped/fimmed one of them couple days ago as well and the shoots are starting to come back real nice. Pleaee give me any help i neeed

There is some yellowing on the leaves from the tips going in and brown tips which curled up. which is what im pretty sure is heat stress as it happened the day agter i put the light on them. The top growth looks good. And i just feed them there first 1/4 strength nutes yesterday so cant be a defiencency or over nute as they are young lol what do you think?

dude, you have a filter on. Open camera app and press the three overlapping circles on the lower right hand corner of the screen. The camera view is gonna split 9 ways and in the middle you'll have "None". yours is probably set to "instant" right now

To me that looks like a hungry plant. I could be wrong. What's your feeding schedule?

You're treating soiless like soil. I usually start feeding 2nd day from sprout in rockwool and go full strength by the time it's got the five finger leaves. Any other feeding schedule will only slow it down or make its early leaves die off. You should probably do the same. good luck!
