:wtf:Today I get home and see the drippers still drippin' away (on for 3 hrs. instead of its usual 10 min.) and noticed a slight sag in the leaves.:wtf: Here's what I have:
T5 Flo 18/6
Distilled Water @ 5.8
Fox Farm 3-Part @ 1/4 str.
34% RH
68-72 F
Day 3 Veg. -- Satori
Because they were overfed/watered today is a flush required? Here are some pictures..any input at all would be great.
Please, criticize if necessary...I need to get this sh*t right!
Thanks,

Also, should I skip their next feeding (1030) and keep them dry until the morning?

I don't know anything about drip system times, but day 3 is way too early for nutes. I'd just leave them till they perk back up and flush once they look normal. It also looks like they might be stretching so you might see if you can get the light closer.

Day 3 meaning the third day of nutrients. These 2 have been under the light for nearly a month now. I had some pH issues which set them back a bit but thought they're ready for some food...the baby leaves are nearly dead and they have some yellowing on the tips.
What about the curling leaves?

Aid request! I know these things aren't 100%.

The leaves are probably curled from being over watered. Just don't water them again until they go back to normal. Plant size is a better indicator than days in veg as to tell you when to feed. I am pretty sure that most people only start feeding once they have developed a few sets of leaves and it looks like yours only have one or two. I'm still gonna say hold off on feeding until they get a little bigger.

those are a month old huh? overwatering is definately an issue. never water during the nite cycle. and only water as often as is necissary for your medium. what is your medium BTW??

at that size watering once a day might be enough , try this "water once when the light comes on, then keep eye on them thru the day,if they dont wilt before the light goes out,keep this schedule. if they do wilt before the light goes out water at lights on and again 6 hours later. total of twice a day.as they grow you may need to increase this a lil but even at that 3 times might be your max.the important thing is no more than whats necissary ^^

LOL i should prolly add that whats happening there is poor root growth/and prolly the early stages of root rot. caused by over watering. I did it myself when i first try'd hydro ^^ It will look like several types of deficiency ..becouse it IS.

Thanks Dive. Do you think thats all it is? No deficiencies or burn? If Im just letting them get fat I'll start that schedule tomorrow.

well like i said you DO have deficiency ...but its from loving them TOO much. let them dry out a lil and they should be much better off.

Thanks again, Dive. I started them on the 1x yesterday and by lights out they were looking much better.

It may take a week or so for them to repair the root damage ...but i think your on the right path now. good luck man.
