Not being a dick or anything, but please use punctuation in your posts. It makes it less annoying and people are more likely to respond. First off, are the leaf tips on all of the plants yellow? Second, how big are the plants? Also, exactly how far away is the light? Soil and container size? I would just leave that fan on 24/7 if I were you.

Add those picture man, and 1 question at a time.

Pics help so much more than trying to explain what the problem is.

Check the PH of the runoff water. You might find that it's a nice shade of yellow-orange...I had to start adding dolomite lime to keep the soil from pushing the PH too low.

Pot size is: 11.5 inches in diameter.
The height of the light from the top of the plant to the bulb is 29 inches
white widow is 4 inches high as are 3 of the big buddas, the other big budda is 3.5 inche high.

I have added pictures in my album, wasnt sure how to get them on this page. Not realy good with computers, thanks for all your replies and sorry about the bad punctuation.

I read thru that paragraph again. Normally you don't use nutes for like 3 weeks. Could be nute burn. PH for soil grows should be a bit higher than that. Are you testing the PH after adding the nutes? They'll lower PH also.

Not much than a noob myself, but from what you're telling me there's no way it's overwatering... overwatering turns the leafs colour into dark green and makes them pointing downwards like it would get heavier (had this problem a few times).
Right now i'm watching your thread really closer because one of my girls seems to have the same problem. Upper leafs have yellow-brown tips, but the general health of the plant looks great...

I just hope they turn around for both of us. When i flushd the system i checked ph level which was at 6.2 is this right for soil and clay pebbles. Got good drainage on all four plants. im also using rhizotonic which is supposed to help them.

start off on a lower rate first some say half it what it says on bottle as it can cause nuit burn and ph after adding nuits as it will lower ph level hope this helps good luck with your grow
