It may be a ph issue. The ph for soil is 6.0-6.8 and hydro is 5.2-5.8 Your leaf tips usually sag if its over watered or over fed. The ph being off could cause discolorations in the leaves. I have a PPP in hydro and I checked the ph and it had gone up to 6.8 from 5.5 and my leaves were doing the same thing. Now that the ph is right the color is starting to return. Check out the FAQs. There may be something there about ph issues. Good luck!

They look pale green so they may need some nitrogen. You might want to feed them with a complete fertilizer. The recomended NPK for veg is 10-10-10 and 10-30-20 for flower. Peters 20-20-20 is good stuff for veg. I use FF Grow Big but I add BioBizz Bloom. Anything close with a high N count will help. They are still very small so only use a very mild solution. Like 1/4 strenght max. Try the nutes and adjust the ph to 6.3 and the color should return.

seems like you're overwatering, no matter how long the soil takes to get dry.. DONT WORRY.. let it dry over the top and once that happens THEN you water again

thanks again man, im using advance nutrients grow i think its 3 1 3 ? its completly organic. i did a very mild dose to some of the plants to see how they react. but your talking about 10 10 10, so i guess mine is a lot less. i mean i have had great results with this nut. let me see if i can find my post, but it was outdoors
