Usual spew from new grower, just sick of paying silly money for shit weights and mediocre puff! so got myself a starter kit on ebay (new to ebay aswell, got myself bumped lol, paid same as what I could have got it for new with hps light, oh well we live and learn:shock:) My new kit consists of - Secret Jardin DS60 Grow Tent
High Output CFL Grow Light Systems
RUCK Fan, Prima Klima Carbon Filter,(no intake as yet)
Ducting and Jubilee Clips
250W Maxibright CFL Lamp BLUE (will be getting 250w red spectrum for flower if i ever get that far lol)
have yoyo's and filter also. I have been getting some cuttings off a friend of which is from nice healthy pineapple chunk mothers, 2 at a time they have all died, I can take the 1st & the second as being a noob but for the other ones im stumped, I got used to the water weight in the pots after I lost my 1st baby, the 2nd I put it down to wind burn as the cheepo clip on fan decided to not stay wher I clipped it. the 3rd didn't survive a repot but the fourth (repotted same time as 3rd) stayed green and healthy looking for 3 weeks, didn't grow up but no curling or droop on leaves until yesterday, she was due a water but leaves were like a claw and twisted a little, ive know this one has had it as it looked worse today. was just looking for some more experienced ideas to what might be wrong, MG enriched potting mix ph 6.6 tapwater, will be getting more 2 more clones next week but in the mean time i thought id try some seed (impatience got the better of me) so i got 1 feminised afghan kush just sprouted and 2 reg kerala x skunk#1 germinated and put in soil today i know i will be short on space but as with previous results im rally just playing to the odds lol. heres pic of setup from outside & stealth viewand of the clone when it was 2 weeks healthy and one of not looking so good, will post more of seedlings tomorrow cheers for input atall been reading here at RIU since the thought of DIY entered my mind lol

I am goin to guess issues have been a combo of overwatering and that causing too much nute release with the MG. I rec using a non nute soil so you can control that. I mix up cheap (no added nute) potting soil, peat moss, perlite and vermiculite. And I add about 2T of lime per gallon of mix. the soil mix is woorking great by all measures.

I water every third day. And once ready use nutes every other watering.
