how are the roots?, maybe too small of a pot. i had a small clone that completely weaved itself around a pot the size of your largest pot.

Hello, Looks like they need some nutes bad!! What are you using to fertilize?? It's kinda hard to see very good with the HPS on, to much yellow from the light. If you could turn them off and use some better color lighting (more blue) it would make a big difference in being able to see what the problem might be. Check out this site for really good photo's of problems. And a very good descripition of what the nutes do.

the third pic makes it appear as if you could just rub the leaves between your fingers and they would crumble, are they really dry?

I almost think i am underwatering them but i dunno. theres a heater in the room set to 77 degrees cause its like -12 degrees here outside

 

[ugzkmk]

is the heating blowing on them, that might cause it and explain why it looks like its only the bottoms

IMO I would not rush to transplant until you can get them healthy. Those pots are not that small considering the size of the plants. They need nutes bad first. You say you have not used any yet?? If you have not that is for sure your problem. Don't just get some cheap stuff if you can help it. What ever you get I would recomend some Superthrive also. http://organic-hydroponicsupplies.thebigtomato.com/shared/StoreFront/default.asp?CS=tbt&StoreType=BtoC&Count1=951931178&Count2=869071602&ProductID=1977&Target=products.asp&gclid=CISnirH0oJgCFRFMagodlCJsbA

I have a strain that looks like that and the same thing is happening. I've been using a flowering solution which is prob. lower in nitrogen. I fed them today with a veg solution so that might help with the yellowing of leaves. Up until then, I just pulled the dead leaves off. The buds are healthy DENSE so I am not too worried. Im only using CFLs too. Good luck

i was thinking the same and i checked on the underneath of the pots no roots are poking threw the holes yet at all so i dont think theve even grown into them all the way yet

 

[akinaspeedstars1]

u sure its nutes tho ? there pretty fucking green up top with no yellowing the only yellowing is on the bottom set of leaves sometimes

 

[akinaspeedstars1]
