picture is taking with lights off on a cell camera so it doesn't really show true colors, but yes they are darker than they used to be.

No there is no water that drain out the bottom of the pots. There are holes at the bottom of teh pots, but the medium absorbs all the water.

yo i feelbad homie. my momma plant that was 80 days old just died from this same shit... chek your PH. of your soil. and water....its a mixture of PH, and nute burn. flush the next time you would normally water. the go half strength nutes your using then build back up again. also you should copp some cal/mag just to balance it out....

sorry to hear that. OK I will back off with the nutrients. What is a good way to test the ph of the soil? I have a probe tester that is supposed to measure mositure, ph and and light, but i don't think it works very well. The moister is always on the dry side and the ph nedel never moves.

I have been giving each plant about 2 ounces a day with nutes mixed in everyother day. I have a 400W HPS bulb.

I was watering about 3 ounces a day for awhile because I was going by my moisture meter, but then I realized it was faulty, so I cut back to 2.

you shouldnt be watering every day. im using 16Oz cups the whole way through and my root balls take up the whole cupp. im watering mayb every 2-4 days......dont let it dry. thats the worst to do. trust me thats what i messed up on.... the probe should work... its a metal stick with like a wire running through it to the tip???? kus its made for soil PH not water..... you need a seperate PH pen for the water........ good luck man. i really dont know what else to tell you except pay very close to your ladie for the next48 hours....... very crucial time. Pe@ce

one more thing you should water till you see just enough water run out all 2-4 drainage holes on the pot...

try filling a gallon jug or something to keep water and leave it in our grow room and use taht water to feed them it is working for me. I got 3 plants almost 3 weeks old and I think they are doing great. I will try to take some pics. I don't hink they can be to green. Worry when they start turning yellow or the tips burning one of mine is. I will fi it. Anyway that's all for now bud

you need some nutes
if you go from giving it nutes to going str8 to none. it will put it in even more shock. its used to receiveing SOMETHING but if you give it nothing what will happen??? its just like people. you give us vicodine when were sick then u take it away or you just give a lower dosage... what one would you want....

You have a point brother. He needs to let the soil dry out, check it for moisture. I think they are over watered or the lights. it is not the nutes.
You shoulden't give any plant nutes before 3 or 4 weeks anyway.

you should definatly transplant when it shows some sort of sign of doing better. you dont whanna put it under anymore stress. im a noob too man. ive only done 4 other ops. but this one im doin now is kinda big for me.... just gotta take it all as a learning experince...... your plant might even just have bad genes, and was meant to be fucked up sorry to say....

I think of them are gonners. Two looks worse and two looks better and one is unchanged.

I did notice that the two are doing worse are righ next to my CO2 out put. I did the soda bottle thing with sugar yeast and water. Is there anyway I could have screwed up the mix and it is putting off something bad?

Ok so I was just looking at the plants and I noticed something in the dirt moving. I grabed a chunk of dirt and my mag glass. There are these tiny gray creatures. maybe 3mm long 1 mm wide. When I knocked them off the dirt on to my counter and was shinning a light on them they would jump. Anyone know what they could be and are they part of the problem?

humidity maybe. if its dry like mine was then that might be it... and again it could very well be the genes from the mother my dude... try to get some clones from anotyher plant to see. also some more pics would help alot... Pe@ce..
