Let me start by saying this is my third grow. This is nirvana white widow fems at 2 weeks and 3 days from seed. No nutes, just PH water to ~5.7ph. The cubes are pretty low in the basket and i ran out of hydroton so the layer of hydroton stops right before the last row of holes at the top. I had the water level touching the bottom of the basket for the first two weeks then lowered it about an inch below the bottom 2 days ago. I have cardboard covering the top with a hole in the middle for the plant. The first sets of leaves look damaged on all the seedlings and on two of them, it looks like they're stained by water colors or something. The new growth so far looks ok. My questions are: did i keep the water level too high too long? is there not enough hydroton hence light getting in? the card board does a pretty good job of stopping the light, though. Should i use cfls instead of 600 watt hps when they sprout? but its over 3 feet above the babies and temps at the "canopy" are ~80F. should i trash them now and do something differently? are they permanently scarred and will eventually turn into thin, budless plants?
