Oh no!! Another over-nervous newbie. Plants especially cannabis plants are very resilient and can handle a lot....do some reading and studying to get the best anwser for your grow.

Anyway, this plant is not over-watered I agree with Alaska need to see better pics..to make sure that there is not an issue.

Nothing kills more plants than 'loving them to death' relax and let Mother Ganja do her thing. If you take some time too read all you can about cultivating. And find someone growing in similar conditions as you, read the whole thread. Use the search feature, it can be a true ally. If and when you get stuck, lots of folks on RIU eager to help a fellow farmer.

Good Luck and Great Growz

We all should read watch just aborbas much info. But...... When you post own thread, people answering you personally directed to you, makes one feel like people care. Even total strangers! All the killer secrets shared, I feel honored not just lucky

With overwatering one won't see marks on the leaves but rather drooping of the leaves. When they are underwatered they will be "preying", with leaves pointing slightly upwards. Looks like you are growing in coco which needs frequent watering, much more so than peat and soil based root substrates.

I would imagine they'll survive although you might lose a few days growth and need to veg another couple of days, depending on the size you want them. I suppose sunlight is the best alternative in the meantime, do you have a windowsill with good sun? And then maybe a normal bulb on them? I'm by no means an expert so someone might tell you something completely different yet, I'm sure someone will have an idea for you, but I don't think it'll do too much harm to rig an emergency light for a few days. Good luck man :peace:

He could probably get away with a windowsill, or even close to a window that gets a lot of natural light through. The only issue I foresee is a little stretching to reach the light.
I had a seed in soil that didn't sprout after a few days, so I tucked it away in the closet, (only light came from under the door) until I could empty the pot. Came back and found that it had actually sprouted in near darkness. It was super stretched (about 8 inches of stem) and leaning towards the light.

Ambient light will work depending but those pots look a bit large for a window seal. If I were you I would hang a few cfl's or a t5 above them to decrease stretch or minimize slow growth. Regardless a few days of minimal light won't hurt them.

^^^ what he said...just do not let them get complete darkness for more than the dark period you are giving them now...you will be fine. I would still invest in some cfls and t5s Why not? You can never have too much light.
