I just recently busted my cultivating cherry with these two little cuties.
The first week they suffered some over watering and I was running a 26watt CFL.After the first week they had barely any root system, but they looked healthy overall.

Week 2 , I Changed the light to a 13 watt CFL and it runs 24hr in hopes to stimulate root growth, also covered them with a dome and maintained temp at about 79F and 80% humidity and kept rock wool moist to the touch and split wool open to allow air to roots. A couple of days went by and all seemed well then the yellow showed up on the new shoots and they??re looking kinda ??dwarf-ish? , for lack of a better word.

I just cut the light back to 18 hr and I??m seeking professional advice
I'm lost now, Over thinking

Also I put a couple drops of superthrive in a 28 oz water bottle and used almost half the bottle

Fill out the troubleshooting form (http://boards.cannabis.com/plant-problems/173775-cancom-copy-n-paste-troubleshooting-forms.html), in order to tell us ALL of the stats of your growroom, ie. nutes, application rate, growing method and medium, air temps, water temps, pH (very important), and all the relevant information you can think of, and someone will gladly assist you. :thumbsup:

word on the ts form......my guess based on pics alone. "fill out the form still or your going to get answeres just like this" ph is a major factor.u have a huge nitro deff, 24-0 will not stimulate major root growth, 18-6 will.you need more light.putting a dome on established plants causes wilting and death,plants that size need fresh air circulation.do u have at least a oscilating fan that u can trow on to them? u need to get your humidity down as well.also as one last thing adding super thrive in this state will only cause more problems than what would be bennefical.soooo in short no domes!!! chech your run off ph a.s.ap get your air circulation going.are u testing your t.d.s before u water? is your medium all ready fertalied? most of these question will be answerd in the form u will fill out but i ask em anyways:D

Thanks Dejayou30 and Disrupt86

Got them outta the Dome
and upped the light to a 100W equiv. CFL
I'm going 18/6 cycle until they get good and healthy then switch

Roots are starting to look good

I guess what I was doing was effective but you need to know when enough is enough and move on

Lesson Learned:
You gotta stop treating the Babies like Babies, and Let the Babies grow...

MJsavestheUSA, welcome to the forum :thumbsup:

For sure fill out the trouble shooter !!!

To me it looks as if they were burnt, too much nutes, but hard to say without more info.

I clone in a bubbler with 15watt fluorescent at 24hr on, in straight water, with great results.

Best of luck 2 ya :)
