This is my second grow. First one she burnt up got all yellow thinking I had to close to light or overwatered. It's looking like I'm having the same thing happen. She's turning yellow on the ends of the leaves. I will post pics this evening. I have a pretty basic setup. Using Mars hydro led 400w in a 3X3 grow tent. The light is about 3.5 feet from the foliage. Humidity is around 50% and temp is around 70 degrees F. It's is ventilated with a carbon filter. Just using some black gold organic starter soil. Watering every few days with ph levels around 5.5-6.5. I know pics say it all so will get those posted later. Just wanted to get this thread started. Any input would be helpful and I know it's a weed it don't need to be babied. And I know it all comes with experience. Just want a little confirmation that I have the basic principles down. Thanks

Remember that although we call nutrients plant food they are really just multivitamins, the plants actual food is that mars light hanging above it, now I haven't seen any pics but my first thought is get that light down to 20" above your plant and see how it goes from there

Black Gold isn't enough to sustain plant life I just use it to make the roots go nuts looking for nutrients.

Pics are uploaded of setup. I personally think it looks like it's time to transplant. Anything I could be doing differently?

The room is to cold mate. 68 Degrees? Seedlings like to be around 83F. Flowering plants at 80F and below. Plus those plants look like they need some veg plant food.

68 is the low it gets when lights shut off. I'll put a space heater near to bring up temp. Any specific veg food you could recommend. I have some "kind" hot soil I plan to transplant into with my base soil so I don't want to overfeed with food when the soil has nutrients.

Heat rises so your exhaust should be near the top, lower your light to 20" above the canopy, get those in a bigger pot (16 oz. Solo) with some lightly nuted soil(hotter mix, but still mild) pretty resiliant little plants

Lower the lights. The seedlings can take that 400w mars hydro believe it or not. If you're putting it in hot soil then you shouldn't need nutes for a few weeks. I use the dyna grow products for veg and bloom.
