Well, this plant is looking weird again :confused: Even with all the help from RIU so far (THANKS). Cant figure this one out. Its looking sad, droopy and kinda twisty. Its not being over watered, Let it dry out and just watered the other day with no runoff in protection of over watering. Any ideas whats wrong? :cry:

And with this other one,its looks like a def, Mag? Its discolored as you can see, and then the new leafs growing out are looking red.. werid. (last 3 pics):cry:

CFL Grow
Temps - No higher than 80F
8 26W 6500k CFL's and 2 2600k 40W

Any help appreciated, faster the better so I can fix it quick :weed:

how often r u watering? is there drainage holes on the pot? looks like classic over watering symptoms? i believe ur roots r sitting in soggy soil and that is throwing off ur ph. sometimes soil seems dry but the rootball is moist. u keep watering because the pot feels dry but the main rootball is moist. if i was u i would repot. u can see whats going on down there. put them into dry soil and just moisten the soil surrounding the roots. make sure u use plenty of perlite. taking them out of the pot is not going to hurt them so dont be afraid to take a look and knock the rootball around.

I usually water like every 5-7 days soils always moist. I did put tons of perlite in there and like half inch on bottom for drainage purposes. Holes on bottom of pots too. Im going to try taking it out and see whats going on. Why not right. Thanks :)

if its moist than its being over watered. dry means dry. u will learn the difference, better to under water. when u pick up a dry pot it feels like there is nothing in there i.e. soil or a plant. u need to nip this now because u have problems at the top of ur plant. good thing about the perlite

So I did that and its seems dry and fine. So weird. Was a dry area when I took it out too. Guess I just wont water as much and see what happens. But for the 2nd plants whats up with that yellowing :(

i think it was good for u to repot and see whats going on. i think that will help ur understanding and the plant. i know u do not want to hear this(after taking my advice) but i hate going from seed. my main goal from seed is to get them big enough for three gallon pots.i have always found once a plant gets big a lot problems go away. i think my hard water plays havoc with them early. once they get big and u can clone the problems go away. once i have a mother and clone i never have the problems i did with seedlings.
