this is my first grow and i have been learnng a lot. the problem that i am currently dealing with is that i switched lights thinking that 120w flood light (tha blue plant one) would help veg my plants out faster. the light was only on one of my plans for about a min but it burned a good portion of it before i removed it. i cut off 5 leaves already because they were severly burned, i held off from cutting any more because i dont know if i should cut them off or if the plant can recover. my second question/ prob is my second plant got sligtly burned from beign in the sun while it was dehydrated. i caught it early and wattered it and it perked rite up and is doing good now, but the bottom leaves are all brown and crispy, should i remove them or what? i just started using nutes today. i am using a 10-6-8 fert i picked up from walmart. check out tha pics and let me know what i am doin wrong.

other then the burn you talked about they look fine. Just leave the burned leaves there not too bad. The plant will recover its hard to kill a weed.

Lookin good actually, just the burn, but you are doing fine, and that fert is probably just fine for your purposes. It's the proper ratios. Be sure that it has micronutrients in it, and that your pots have plenty of drainage. You are on your way!
LOSE the incandescent lights from your grow- they're totally useless.
BTW those plants aren't showing any signs of being rootbound. They will be good in those pots for another week or so.

i already transplanted them into the pots they are currently in, but you guys are sayin that i need to transplant them a second time? how big of a pot should i get, i thought the current pots were ok, ill have to pick up some more soil and new pots asap. and i move them outside during the day because i live in so cal where the sun is always shining thus no need for an hps.

those pots are okay for now but they will need bigger ones soon.
But if you are putting them in sunlight, the small pots might just simply dry out too fast, adn a larger pot would give you some safety with that.

they looked like they were in solo cups from the picture angle if they are in something bigger you should be ok for a little while........
sorry for the scare
