so this is my first grow...

T44 and G13...i was using a single 30 watt walmart growlight..that was just for the single T44..all was well..it was in a tiny container-dwc..MILD MILD nutes..temp was 70-82 degrees with right around 50-55% humidity..

well my g13 needed to go into the water so i got a 10gallon rubbermaid and some more lighting..4 26watt 6500k CFLs..in addition to the 30watt light i had..

well temps WENT UP..sometimes its pushin it..ive seen it read 93..my humidity dropped a bit..so i tend to leave my closet door open a bit as i dont have a fan yet for it. i noticed my t44-the older plant had some slight yellowing on the outer edge of a leave..so i backed up my lights a bit to avoid the burning..

now im not sure it was a light burn issue, as the other side has it slightly too...maybe it always has, im not too sure..im using 8 gallons of distilled water with 8 tablespoons of nutes...GH flora nova grow. it said use 1-2 so i just kept it down a bit..my ph is right around 6, i dont have a digi meter so i have to go by color chart..

BUT- the plant has grown a SINGLE root down into the solution-my other plant seems wilted-as its really droopy, not sure if its because its still young and gettin its strength or if its getting to much water-it doesnt have the yellowing issue though.

here some pics. your guys' help is greatly appreciated so please give me some advice..

heres the burn-


heres the full plant-


and heres the full setup with the other droopy G13-
i think the droopyness might be attributed to too much water but im not sure so im here for your help..


thanks though guys!

don't look so bad your not supposed to put nutes in until about week 4-5 so that could be the problem and whatever dose is in the instructions start with half that dose and gradually bring it up.

cut the nutes back to 1/4 strength and hand water fo the moment so make sure your rock wool isnt saturated after your roots break thru the bottom of the rock wool you can start the DWC just make sure to keep the water level about 1/2 inch below the rock wool so it doesnt get saturated

right on..well the one with the "burn" lookin spots has roots about 9" long...so i might just take the Droopy one out, maybe it is gettin too much water then..no roots are exposed so ill take it back to hand watering..

they are pretty saturated, and from what i read, the over-watering would be a good cause for the droopyness...
