Over watering? Nutrient problem? Light problem?

The tall plant on the left appears to be turning yellow, the tips of the leafs look brown, the plant is drooping. I have 2 CFL 23 watt bulbs (150watts) 1 inch away. I have the light on 24/7 since they was born. I water until the water runs out the bottom of the cup one time every morning.

Too much water, Too many hours of light, not enough nutrients?

I want this to be 100% organic.


EDIT: I have added no nutrients... Check my grow room photo album for more info on my soil. I am currently in the process of making tea by using 50/50 water/soil mixture. I will set this out for a few days before i use it.

I pulled 2+ pounds off two plants and a 400w HPS. Granted it took almost a year but I did it.

See, people think a gram per watt actually means something - it doesn't, it's a fallacy. They forget about things, such as time, and thermodynamics. As long as you can get light to all parts of the plant and train it properly and give it TIME, one plant could yield you two, maybe three pounds going hydroponics.

I had left my lights on 24/7 since they sprouted. 2 weeks for the taller and 1 for the shorter. Just a few minutes ago I put a timer on my lights. So now they will have 18on and 6 off.

Could be different species and strains!
3 - 10 days for germination to seedling!
Lights can be put on different schedules acording to your lighting and preference, 18/6, 20/4, 24 hour!

Hope that has answered your questions sufficiently dude, Any more questions just post.!!

Also put a fan on those bitches if you want to promote hardy thicker stalks. Good Luck!

I stick a box fan on there whenever I am home.. they get some fan action everyday for 2-12 hours.... Check my grow room pic out on my photo album... The fan is at the bottom but it still circulates and wiggles the plants around

Thats good going dude,keep that up with the fan and it will promote thick stalks for you for your plant to hold up its heavy, thick , dense bud when it gets to bloom!!
