Lol, some loser asshole, who moved into my neighborhood. Liked to just walk in my house, and seen my lighting setup laying on the floor. Since than, I own, so no surprise inspections, or warrentless searches ;)

Even still, this is a stealth grow, other than the exhaust cap positioned on the roof over top of the closet.
its even under lock and key ;)

@kagecog I think it was the 3gal pots holding water for too long. Got them back into solo cups now, so soil dries up faster.
the big pic in the main post, i believe turned brown due to water being on the leaves under the light.

I decided to rip those leaves off, and pulled the round ones while I was at it. Stressful, if I lost that one, oh well.

Will get new pics up in a minute.

Not quite a smart move man... I would of left them in the 3 gallon pot and just watered them less. And you should of left the leaves on, they still provide valuable energy!

These are the 8 i moved back to the cups plus my room setup, plus one of my slow pokes that was never moved to 3 gal.

The second pic is the one I ripped the leaves off.

"I would of left them in the 3 gallon pot and just watered them less."
Once I moved them into the 3 gal, they didnt get any more water. It was over 5 days with no water, and the center was still quite moist. Maybe I shouldnt have moved them, but optimistically, i think they will survive the move.

"you should of left the leaves on, they still provide valuable energy!"

Not sure if you caught this but ...
I was only referring to the 1 plant, where the 2 first fan leaves had big brown spots on them.
The round leaves were turning yellow/brown and about to fall off anyway.

This is just what I would do if I were you, BTW, I know that Im not you.... anyway...... I would stop over thinking and over doing. These plants want to survive, its usually humans that kill them, kill them with kindness or over thinking. No plant is perfect.

It appears your soil was shit to start, not sure where its at now. Then you moved them around. Then you cut them, spots or not... this stressed the heck out of them. You think these plants should be perfect after all this? I hope you don't.

Now...... if it were me, again, I know I'm not you, but, I would sit back... relax... ONLY check to see when they need water, the last 8 are too young for nutes in my opinion (depending on you current soil). Watch them... learn to read when the need water and nutes. I am not familiar with your soil or the nute content. Heck, they may need nutes next feeding...

The 8 you moved in most recent pics look pretty good. Give them a chance..... relax... don't kill them with kindness and they should be fine. If not, send in more info and we will try and help.

Just my 2 cents, but they are your plants.

Good luck... keep us posted!

@ghgou812 I was convinced they were fine, when I started this thread. The light green color had me wondering, but I thought they were doing ok.

The first response on this thread said they were bad looking and going to get worse.
You think they look good?

Soil had no nutes in it. Next time Ill get the FFOF. First grow, bag seeds, experimenting.
Temps have gotten up to 88 degrees at times :(

I guess I will need to put one of those booster fans in my 4" hvac intake.

Ok, so 2 days later, and plants are doing ... OK.
First set of fan leaves have yellowed, and some turning brown.

I am chocking it up to fucked up shitty soil.
Did a little bit of searching around, and this soil tends to retain water below the first 3rd of the soil.
People having issues with this stuff for indoor plants (any plants), causing root rot.
Well, I guess you like you learn. It was organic, and with no nutes, so I figured what the hell.
$4 for a 32qt bag.

Just left the local hardware store, with a bag of "Black Gold."
From what I have read on a few cannabis boards, this stuff is up there with fox fams.

It has just a tad of nitrogen in it ...(worm castings)
0.05 - 0.0 - 0.0

Earthworm castings, canadian sphagnum peat mos, and perlite.

At this rate I dont have much to lose, so lets see if this does the trick.

I really believe it is a soil issue, as they were growing great before puttng them into that shit soil.

I used Vigoro premium in the blue bag from Home Depot. I consider that just regular potting soil. Now I make my own soil (well.... mix). 1/3 perlite 1/3 Canadian SpagPeatMoss 1/3 Vermicompost. I then add Azomite (good stuff recomend for re using soil and as amendment) Glacial rock dust, Alaskan Humus & Humic Acid. All those amends don't burn. What you goto be careful with is Guanos, Blood and Bone meals they need to be broken down for like a month. When my soil is used I put it in a container and re amend an let it sit for a month or more. I'm an organic grower so I just feed the soil and add AACT's then only water. I get decent results IMG_0989.JPG Black Gold is good stuff I can't find it in my town.

So, just an update....
Poor plants :(

So besides all the stress they had already been thought,
I moved them into a great soil mixture. Im quite happy with it.
I transplanted them into the new soil, and didnt water the soil at all.
Was gonna let them use up what they had soaked up from the old soil.
Well, i didnt get a chance to allow that to happen.

my grow room roof had a leak during the bad storms, and woke up, and they were sitting in a puddle. So they bottom fed.
It destroyed the particle board sub floor, so they were out of the grow room for 2 days, while I rebuilt.

I just received my PH/TDS meters today, and quickly tested my tap water ... 7.5/68
Tested my distilled water ... 6.5/12

So, I know that my tap water, which I was using a bit, was a bit high.
Never tested the rain water that I was using.

They are still growing, but slowly. I believe they are starting to pick up tho ....

Posting pics soon.
