ok so its been about 2 1/2 weeks now from the start of my grow and i have kind of fucked it up a little. i been reading a lot about how to grow and have been learning along the way. anyways i started the babies in jiffy cups and forgot to cut a hole in the bottom of the cups. i was wondering y they wouldn't grow anymore and figured out y their growth was stunted. the roots had no where to go because of no hole. im sure the plant were overwaterd as well since there was no drainage hole. but my question is will they live? one plant is kind of drooping. i guess from over watering. the other two plants r are yellowing on the edges of the leaves. i guess its from the shock of the transplant??? idk. but it looks like they have some kind ofhope in them can i get an expert answer. they r still growing but not in a healthy way/ u can tell by the pics.. let me know
AHHH!!! first grow need adivce.PLZ!

should be i used 2 40 watt flo tubes the frist 2 weeks. they say cfl and flo lights r great for starting ur seeds but as far as useing them the entire grow i dont know u might need a few more. as for ur plants they look alittle small for being 2 1/2 weeks but if u fix the pots she should start growing agin. but im a noob
are those bagseeds or did u buy them off the net?

its bagseeds. they r really yellow looking. but yeah im using 2 on each plant. i hope they can pull out of it.
the ph of my water is right at 7. i am using mg oragnic choice. i dont know my humidity level i have no meter. and my soil is reading right at 7 too. i put a lil lemon jusice in my water to make it a little acidic. but yeah thats all i know for now.
yeah im growin in a 4x10 closet area i have white walls and i have placed my cfls close to the plants. i have a fan blowing on them so i think the temp is like 7075 degrees, its nice and cozy for them im sure

I had the same problem with my first 3 sprouts when I repotted them I lowered my PH from just over 7 to an exact 6 the leaves yellow for various reasons I read a shit ton tring to find what my personal cause was. So you'll have to do a ton of reading. I contributed mine to to much water and over zealous fert. gave em a week without any new water in my pots they kept growing and the new leaves have all been healthy since. If your using a res for your water check it every time before you rewater em when its time. I had a perfect 6.0 PH when I put it in there and didn't check it again till I was looking for the problem and it was over 7. I use Foxfarm soil started by watering the plants a little every day, that was way to much for mine in 3 gal pot. I do it on average about twice a week now. Once with the nutes once with out em. Don't try to over analize your probelm. Mines been resilient as hell the plants will fix there own problems if they aren't to serious. Stop being an over protective parent and let em grow. Definately get more light on em though
i have my lights like 2 inches away from the plants. they r statrting to grow a lil bit. but shit jester ur plants r huge for only being 4 weeks. mine are like 2 1/2 weeks and r small as shit. good job on urs man. i keep my fan on 24/7 and i do leave water out humididty . i guess the yellowing from mine is just over water and suffocating there roots. but they have a new home now with a shit ton more space.. is a big pot still too much for them tho? is that bad?
