You light burned em man . Move that light on up , I don't run a 1000 but anyone who does never has it that close.

yea ... 1000 watts 26 inches away would only be safe in a sealed unit with a very good exhaust system going through it. If this isnt the case back that light up some and give em a good watering if you havnt already ... good news is ..they should come out of it just fine with no long term effect of your crop , you will probally lose a few of those leaves though ... so dont panic if you do ... good luck with the grow

i always have my soil at 6.5 so id say you would want to get that down a bit mate, ph being so high could be causing the lockout of key nutrients. also the light but thats easily fixed, the soil would be my next port of call to fix mate. this is why some of your leaves are very dark green aswell.
hope you get it sorted.

I may get yelled at for this but... I'm really all about growing on the cheap . I go to the fish dept. at wallyworld and get the p.h. tablets that bring it to neutral and dissolve them in my water about once a month before watering . My ph is always within good limits so far and I only have a couple bucks in ph control . I even bought the ph up and down chems but havnt needed em so far .... just a thought
there are better ways i'm sure but this works for me and keeps my stash cost down : )
