these guys are 5 days old
they are NLxBB
one is slightly yellow and the other has these yellow spots on the bottom leaves.
Im thinking its pH because on the smaller plant the leaves curl up a tad and i read that meant pH too high but i wanted to check..:stoned:

What type of soil are you using? A lot of soils come with fertilizers that can harm such young plants. That's what it looks like to me.

Before trying to diagnose ANY sort of problem with your plants, you should make sure your fundamental growing elements are up to par. Is your water legit (proper pH, no heavy metals, etc.)?, what's the pH of your soil?, how far are your lights from your plants?, all the basic things. Once you're sure all of these things are correct, then you can start trying to figure out what (if anything) is actually wrong with your plants. All of these things can mask or mimic problems with your plant, making it difficult to diagnose.
I was in a similar boat as you, and the biggest wad of advice I can give you is to get a pH tester of some kind. I was under the impression that boiling, filtering, and evaporating my tap water would suffice for a water supply... but I was awfully wrong. After reluctantly investing in a pH tester, I found that the pH of my water was alarmingly alkali. After investing in store-bought gallon jugs of distilled water, my plants are doing MUCH better.

Thanks for the advice man. Yea my ph roams between 6.2-6.7 it just looked like ph probs which is why i asked.
The light is a 400 mh bout..20 inches from the tops of the plants and temps stay between 74-80 and ventilation is good so thats not an issue.:stoned:
plus the plants are looking alot better today.

Sup guys
These guys were topped 6 days ago and going pretty well.
Havnt run into any problems except..
These leaves keep folding in on them selves and its just the upper ones. I took some thought into this and thought that it could be too low of humidity because my temps are fine (75-78) but hum. stays at 30-32% no more, no less.
But everyone tells me they grow just fine in that humidity range so whats up?
im pretty sure its nothing too serious but still.:stoned:

thanks.
yea i used miracle gro perlite...enough said.:mad:
but yea the problem keeps getting worse.
i think they start to fold back out as new growth starts to appear...?
though none of the new leaves have any defects what so ever..
and the growth is amazing they are growing away its just this MINOR SET BACK:rastasmoke:

Sup guys
Well, the leaf folding problem isnt getting any better but growth is maximum:jointsmile:
Oh and 4 days ago i decided id lst the shorter one since it didnt have as much under growth.. Its looking good and im pretty happy with that plant all together:)
The other one though....
just growing away but pale as hell! almost to the point where i thought it was a zinc def.
but yea no sex yet but they are going into 24 hours of darkness tonite and then we'll 12/12 it up:thumbsup:
