i have 3 plants on their 5th week of veg. Im using coco coir based potting mix and ive been mainifolding them to increase yields

I feed them using a 30-10-10 growth fertilizer . They have been under a 200 watt CFL growlight setup 24/7. Ive been trying to get them as close as possible to the lights to maximize the light output so i positioned them 2-3inches from the lights. They seemed fine 3 days ago but when i came to check on them today, they were close to an inch from the lights. I have the room on airconditioning 24hrs a day for the past 3 days now so the temps should be fine but when i touch the leaves and new growth they seem a bit stiff and dry. I dont see any discoloration on the leaves. Im not sure if this is heat stress or pH problems since the pH meter i ordered hasnt arrived yet. I reduced the distance to the grow lights to about 4-5 inches. Should i try flushing them for now? Pls help!!

Doesn't look like anything to worry about now DJYOLOBEAR but I'd be careful with those nutes as the N is so high you could get some nitrogen toxicity down the road. If you start seeing the edges of the leaves curl up or start going brown along the edges flush good with plain water to prevent serious nute burn.

:peace:
