Don't take sh*t from people OR your plants bionic! i like your style... :blsmoke:

Interesting... if anything I thought more blue during seedling-veg and more red for flowering. The reason I use all 8 bulbs is to get as much light as possible on em. One's I use are T5 54 watt (i think 2000 lums/bulb) - still think I should use more red??

Thanks for all the input. I'll keep them 24/0 and maybe try 18/6 my next grow just to compare.

What are the benefits were to having 24/0 to 18/6 lighting? I've read alot of people doing it both ways with success but haven't seen much about the goods/bads on both if any. Right now I've got 12 3 week old seedlings under 8 t5 ho lamps (4 blue/4 red) on 24/0. Warm n fuzzy~

Holy crap dude my 2 plants look exactly like yours were!! Both started in scott's and recently transplanted into a mix of 65% coco 35% perlite now 2.5 wks old. They look worse every day and I'm so upset that I can't fix em. I've been ph'ing at 6.4 and can't fig out why they keep yellowing...

lil truck you're babies look awesome keep up the good work. Are you giving them any nutes? They look they're on roids man :hump: Warm n fuzzy~

Checked ph level of the bottled water I'm using and it read 7.4. Could this be a reason my plants were turning yellow??

Transplant all my seedlings into coco/perlite/verm mix and they are all doing much better now. They're in 1 gal pots and 2 of them have grown their full 2nd set of leaves! Don't know for sure but the jiffy cups + scotts combo was somehow hurting the roots. 4 plants died but I'm replacing them...

I have 8 T5's now and will change all to red when flowering. No plans for mh or hps's due to heat restrictions but the plan is to to add 2 side wall mount cfls and ventilation soon. Lowered the lights to 2" and will wait to water till tomorrow am. Less is best i'm learning lol! Peace:peace:

Thanks gg I think you're right about the new growth cause all but the round leaves are good and green (mmm...greeen..) and growing! based on what I've read on riu yellow at this stage (8 days) either means overwatering or the ph is too high. Thankfully temps are steady and under 28 at all...

Thanks dirtyboy I will wait. So you think the yellow is from overwatering? I think they're stretched should i lower the lights from 4" to 2"? lights are 24/0 and don't want to heat stress em.

Sorry i get the change pots part and I can prob do that tomorrow but I don't quite get the overfeeding / not watering part. Sorry jtalo it must be the newbie in me lol! Thanks for your reply.

Here's a couple pics hope this helps identify my problem. Thanks again.

trying to size down my pics but can't seem to get it right... I'll keep trying thanks for replying!

Hi all, first time grower and need some advice from the pros. First a picture of my setup: 16 seedlings, 8 days old (2" tall) in 3" jiffy cups 8 x 4' T5 HO cfls 4" above plant tops 4 blue/4 red OSC fan blowing at stems Mylar white on all walls Hum: 45% Temp: 24-26 deg Space: 2' x 6.5' x 8'...

I'm in the same boat as Goatfarm. 4 days aft germ my babies are just over 2"... I replaced my 4 T12's with 8 high output T5's - 4 blue/4red just 20 mins ago. Lights are 1.5' from the plants can I go lower without cooking them? Warm n fuzzy ~
