Some Info:
Soil is just generic MG pretty much... I've had no problems with it thus far. I water by eye. Meaning when it looks dry I give it water. and i keep them them under 4 6500K Daylight CFLs running 18/6. There a lower watt so total lumens is around 6000.

They were perfectly fine yesterday, but when i checked on them today they where all dried up...

I gave them a good watering, spritzed there leafs, and moved them farther from the light.

Is there anything else i can do for them, or is there no hope?


EDIT
Oh the "bumps" you can see on them is just water.

How close are the light? What are you feeding them? Do they drain?Do you test your ph and EC (ppm) levels? more info?

They were an inch away, Now there pretty far like 5 or so inches away. I'm not giving them anything extra just bottled water. They can drain just fine. I don't know PH i can test some run off I suppose.

do you wear glasses ????

try not to water leafs under lights you will hurt them more they look new so back lights away 6 " or so then after few days start bringing them closer leafs looked curled up propb from waterin of leafs
if u can try to bend leafs back to normal positions meaning under sides of leafs getting light is a NO NO if your goin to foilage meaning pray leafs then mist them looks like your pouring it to them
as well once they return to lookin like a plant again do not water leafs no more water soil but keep water away from leafs
watering should be done once every 4 to 5 days and done in the matter of prior to lights on and mist few hrs before lights on

I do wear glasses :/ my vision sucks. There was water on the leafs but I never did this during normal watering. Just an attempt to bring back some moisture in the leafs. I think i just misjudged them needing water, and it got to dry.

Thanks for the help.

Yeah the fans are all working fine... My timer sucks though... Sometimes it won't turn On but turns off just fine...

a good way too see if your plants need water is to poke your finger in your soil and check for moistness, and if you feel the slightest hint of moister , wait anouther day and repeat the process :D works for me

"the thing about marijuana plants is they like to get oxygen right after water.... then after oxygen, get water ect..., thats why aeroponics,bubbleponics,hydroponics all work so well is cuase they can bring that to the plant fast , and the faster you can variate between the two , Dry , wet , dry , wet ... the better your plants will be ...

Wow this makes me think of an idea for my bigger pots. :P They have a water reservoir in the bottom and has a system that absorbs water to moisten the soil. What if i where to but a air stone inside?

inside the the soil ?! that sounds like a crazy bomb idea i would deffinatly want to see how that would result but only turn it on once its bigger like a month old , in my opinion.

btw how are your plants doing ? are they any better ?/ worse ?
