I would check for over watering first. You are using a water meter right? That's the only way to check correctly.

Over watering is the #1 mistake soil growers make. Over fertilization is the second.

Next thing I would check is the PH of my water and soil. Again you need a meter to do this. It should be around 6 before it goes into the soil. You can test the PH in the water with a cheap $7 PH test kit.

Use these Botanicare nutes:
126ML Cal-Mag Plus
180ML Liquid Karma
540ML Pure Bend Pro Vegetative Formula

It's 100% organic and will make your bud taste unreal!

Start slow! It's easy to add nutes but hard to get rid of them.

the ph of the soil is around 7 in all of them. the distilled water i use is 7ish and my tap water is 7
I def do not overwater. I have a moist meter along with waiting atleast till the top 3 inches of soil our dry. this isnt my first grow so i do know a little. But ive never had leaves dry up and wilt like this, this fast as well

What do you have for a meter? Can you post a link to some info on it? The reason I ask is if it is anything like mine It sucks and is definitely not reliable. Everything you check is 7 ph right?, That is what mine does. But when I check my tap against distilled with a real meter I get a good difference. I think I posted that already. As for a moisture meter I would not even recommend one to a noob. Going by the weight of the pot it is in is the most dependable, also different strains will like different moisture levels. Between the weight and learning to read the plant is the best way to go. To help you get used to it you can let them go after a good feeding and wait for signs on the plant to tell you they want more. Search around and anybody with experience will tell you the same. That's where I got it from. Again if it is a cheap meter like mine I would not trust it. Besides you have a dirt meter and are using it in water. I only use my good ph meter to check my water. I don't ckeck the ph in my soil but ph the water before I give it to them. Have you been having a hard time getting on this site also? Last couple days it has hard to get on sometimes. Keeps saying it might be to busy.

yea i got a cheap o meter it was like 10 bucks at lowes

and yea the message board has been having errors the past couple days. Its def something to do with the strain cause the 2 different ones off to the left are all green and gorgeous top to bottom and grow different. The indica is different as well only 1 leave dried on that one a along with some brand new growth on the very botto. the other 7 are all the one strain and seem to be the problem childs..i sitll havent gotten a humidty meter. but i think the air is too dry iin that room for them is about the only thing i can come up with

I had one called "Afgani Gold" that I ordered. Only got one plant out if them, most were crushed when I got them. Every time I watered it would look overwatered for a day or so. The rest were just fine. I did everything the same on all of them, soil, water, nutes ect. And it was dry like the rest of them when they got watered. I'm sure that is like the one I have, the only thing it is good for is a light meter. I don't know if it is accurate but at least I can compare it to something else (like the sun) and get an idea of what I might have. IMO, I still they need more food. Have you done a spray on them? Until you get the humidity meter you will not know for sure. And that's what you need to do now. The only way is to be able to rule out any known factors and if you think you might have a problem you need to know for sure. http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2752691&keepsr=0. You can also get a thermomiter with one on it. I like the indoor/outdoor one with the wire that goes outside. I keep the unit about 1/4 way up the box and put the outside part at the canopy top. I'll be sending you a pm also.

Ya, you do waste a lot of good light with no reflectors. Ducting would work good. You could spray it with some flat white might help too.

I like the ad they have on cannabis.com for legal buds it comes up on the home page. Always a pleasure to stop by to check her out. Let's have some pics of your new reflectors.

Ya, my two in flower are getting pretty good also. Not to couch lock yet though so I'll keep waiting. Last sample bud was about a week ago and I get a good buzz off just a couple hits. And I've been smoking mostly hash for a year and a half. Trics are getting a little cloudy and have been for more than a week. But still new growth on the buds also. They are over 9 weeks now, I changed to 12/12 on Dec. 1. I sure wish they would quite taking their sweet ass time and be done. I didn't want a strain that took this long but these are the free one's I got with my Ice order. The buds look so frosty. 400watt should be plenty for 3 plants as long they aren't to big. These pics are 6 or 7 weeks.
