Im growing larry og and blue dream haze my larry og seems fine but my blue dream hazes are curling up ? i have excellent air flow 4x8 tent with 6' vortex cooling my hood 1000 watt and going out. I also have a 6' inline fan exhaust at the top. temps stay from 70F to 82F. I recieved these clones 2 days ago there all about 12 to 14 in tall and were never topped i recently topped them. And water them once a day. Am I over watering ? I use RO water and adjust the ph 6.0 to 6.7 its hard to get it the same every time. I also fed them 1/4 strength GH flora series i dont know exactly how old they are ? they seem very stretched ? any help i will appreciate thankyou...

Yo nice hook up~:clap::clap::clap:

Yes their stretch~ move yo light down about to 1.5 ft from plant
What yo method of growing is that hydro/dirt?
It looks like hydro but yo ph'ing to dirt?
Don't look like the roots have very much room and are over water
Their in cups their root bound very very very bad~
Yo are you in veg and yo just topped'em with hps light they work
but I go by the book use mh~

thnx man! Ok ill move the light closer Im growing in fox farm ocean forest i just have some hydroton clay on the top of some of the soil looks cleaner is this a bad idea ? no hydro yet iv'e been researching it probably build something myself in the future but i just want to stick with soil on my first. yea i am ph'ing to dirt. Also i just ordered some sun blaze t5's can i veg under those instead of the hps ? would it be better ? And i just topped them cause i didnt want just 1 top cola can you super crop a plant thats never been topped?

Yo transplant'en asap~
I top after the 5th set of leaves
about the second week of veg
so it'll will veg a couple of weeks afterwards......
usually veg to 15"or so growing
from seeds.
Yo yours is what clones and their root bound~

ya u definitely want to transplant those to a much bigger pot i would go at least 5 gallon pots at very least. if your roots are limited, your yield will be limited. always best to give roots plenty of room. hps if fine for veg imo, although t-5s are great for veg and more economical. also do u have holes in the bottoms of those cups? water must be able to drain or u will get root rot. hope this helps.

There's no holes at the bottom of the cups but it looks like someone took a razor and slit the bottom once and 3 slits on the side. I pulled back one of the slits at the bottom of the cups and the roots are bunched up so there definitley root bound i found some 1 gallon trash bins at walmart for a $1.50 i drilled 5 holes at the bottoms for drainage picture 1 and 2 are the bucket i purchased. Think there good for now ? cause im a little strapped till i get paid. Also i noticed that the 2 that are sluuggish and droopy are ones that i topped cold this stress the plant at all ? pic 3 and 4 were the topped plants wich look droopy and pic 5 was not topped but transplanted two days ago and it looks pretty good.
