If it helps, my plants started from seed going into their 4th week. I'm on a drip system watering 2 times a day for 15 mins each. Someone save my babies

whats ph? and what are you feeding them, id say they are a little low on the nitrogen, but overall they look fairly healthy, and with pH in check, and a small boost of nitrogen, they will do fine.
whats the lighting like?
2x a day for 15 min is the drip? odd, i had mine constantly dripping 24/7, with about 1 drop of water every 5 seconds or so. that was also my first time, but i got awesome pot from it

thanks for the quick reply, the ph is at about 5-6 not really sure as i'm using the GH pH indicator. I'm also feeding them botanicare. My lightings are 1 125w cfl + 1 23w cfl on 18/6. Why do I feed for nitro with that, thanks again Nick

ok I just checked on the leaves and they were very dried but very droopy looking, I inspected my rockwool and it was too very dried. I guess now that my babies are bigger they're drinking a heck lot more water. Just upd the dosage on the timer to water for 1/2 hr 3 times a day. hopefully that'll help the babies. Thanks again guys, i'll update in a few days

not sure on ppm, I don't have a ppm meter yet but i've been trying to follow the feeding schedule for the botanicare. I recently added 60ml of cal mag to my 10gal res. and upped the ph to about 6, I'll update in a few days. thanks guys

6 is not bad but....ph for hydro should be 5.8 that will get her absorbing the nutrients she needs(cal)...look down the line @ 5.8 for hydro,and you will see what im talking about ;)

drip feed can be constant... long as its a slow drip...like nick ^^^ stated.
