aright.this is my first grow,and have no prior experience with plants what so ever. i read these forums along with care books and sites for months before i began. i figured i knew enough to make it work, and apparently not. they looked great for the first week or 2. about a 5-6 days ago they fell on the floor.i quickly picked them up and put them back in the paper cups i have them in right now. a day or two after then happend they began to go down hill. maybe shock..over/under watering,lighting?? i dont know wtf, and im worried about them.maybe some of you veteran growers can shed some light or have some advice for me and my babies.
ok so i have a small setup in my closet roughly 2x3x5. 6in. fan venting out. 6in. fan directed at the babies. entire space lined with mylar. i have (1) 105w=400w 6500k cfl directed right over them. and (2) 3000k cfls equivelant to125w each, on eachside (4 in total). Im using ff ocean forest medium. i have some ff grow big nutes that ive only used once just yesterday,until then they had no prior nutes other than whats in the medium.
I had all 5 of the lights running for the first few weeks.they seemed to be doing good,i was watering them basicly twice a day,but not alot at all by using a spray bottle. the ph is around 6.5. i had the temp for the first few weeks a little high around 85-90 during lights on,and 80 with lights off. ive ahd the light on 18/6 from the start. and the fans running 24/7. the humidity was kinda low at anywere between 20%-30%. two days ago i put a coolmist humidifier to bring the rh up. its been up to 40%-45% and also broght the temp down to a constant 80 degrees(f) during lights on and 70-75 degrees when lights off. like i mentioned before i made the mistake of handeling them right when i woke up and not really awake and alert as i should have been. and i droped them the fell about 4 ft to the floor,i immediatly picked them up and put them back into there cups. they are in peat pucks,so ther wasnt much exposed root growth just the tips of the root systems were showing throgh the peat pucks. after that i may have began to slightly over water them trying to make up for dropping them wich may have added insult to injury. 2 or 3 days after all that they rapidly began to droop,curl under and turn real pale and are yellowing,the yellowing is mainly of the lower leaves,but the drooping and cupping is all around,2 being worse the the other 2.the leaves felt dry and britle to the touch, and one of the stems looks to be split,almost as if the stem was peeling off an outer layer or somthing.
I tried easing up on the water. moved them a little away from the light and shut the 4 3000k lights off . the one time i did water i had added some nutes at the suggested ratio on the bottle. none of this seemed to be working and i dont know what to do,some one please hellppp!
In the first pic the bottom left is White Castle. bottom right is Train Wreck. top left is Lemon Skunk and top right is LA Woman. if there is any additional info about what i got going there that i faild to mention just let me know. looking foward to seeing what you who actualy know what your doing have to say lol.
