Hey, its my first grow and I made a hydro box from a 40 gal plastic rubber maid, purchased all the nutes and ph up and down, and have a 400 watt hps light about 40 inches above the rubber maid. I planted two seeds which sprouted nicely in two net pots filled with hydro-ton and set the ph of the water around 5.5 - 6 ( cant tell since im using strips) and added some nutes according to the labels on the back of the bottles, but after 7 or so days the tips of the bottom leaves began to turn a yellow/brownish color, and my top two leaves started curling inwards (which got me to post this). So I added more ventilation with a bigger fan, but its in a closet ( about 5 1/2 by 5 ft) so it heats up real easy, 75 F +
Can anyone help me, its my first grow, and I've basically learned everything of forums and friends. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
If pics could help I add them tomorrow, just gotta buy a camera.
Also...
And after reading some forums and watching some vids I saw that people normally use florescent lights for the seedlings instead of the huge 400watt hps bulbs so I wanted to know what kinds of lights to use on the seedlings
and is it alright that I grew the seedling directly in the hydroton, they sprouted nicely, but it took them all three to four days.
