im using a 600w hps light temps are 27 celsius upto 33 humidity lights on 30-30% lights off 70-75%
westland multi purpose compost with added john innes
ive not used any nutes accept a slow release miracle grow tablet added yesterday so not the cause of the problem.nutes i will be using are canna cocoa a and b also some big bud stuff (molasses)etc
repotted to 5ltr pots 2 days ago as i noticed roots coming out of the other pots
water ph'd when added is 6.8 i tried a run off and it came back as 5.1?
ive added garden lime to the top of the soil and raked it in abit also watered with some garden lime in around a teaspoon?

They're not too shabby!:thumbsup:
Soil looks a bit wet.
If you are letting it dry out a bit between waterings, they will benefit from it.:)
Mostly, just don't love 'em to death.
Cannabis can take a joke.

Again curling up leaves. Again pH mess up. Hot and Dry again.
Everyt'ing else, just fine :)
Pay attention to first link on Weezard's signature. :thumbsup:

i only added the lime yesterday after my first ph test.......the problem occured around 5-6 days old when there were in 1ltr pots...yellow patches,twisting deformed leaves apart from that they look good there bushy for 16 days old and smell delightfull....i just want the best for them lol and as for the lime i think its a nute it contains goodness though like calcium and magnesiumive only used a small amount...and im going to water less
from the picks what would you say they look like?healthy?deprived etc

Yes let the soil dry and water slowly again until it comes out from drainage.

Feel free about that

Agricultural lime, also called Aglime, Agricultural Limestone,garden lime or liming (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liming_%28soil%29), is a soil (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil) additive made from pulverized limestone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limestone) or chalk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chalk). The primary active component is calcium carbonate (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_carbonate). Additional chemicals vary depending on the mineral (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineral) source and may include calcium oxide (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_oxide), magnesium oxide (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_oxide) and magnesium carbonate (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_carbonate).
Effects on soil:
it increases the pH (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PH) of acidic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid) soil (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil) (the higher the pH the less acidic the soil)
it provides a source of calcium (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium) and magnesium (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium) for plants
it permits improved water penetration for acidic soils
it improves the uptake of major plant nutrients(Nitrogen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen), Phosphorus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorus), and Potash (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potash)) of plants growing on acid soils.
Telling everything here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agricultural_lime)...
Over watering may bring nutrient burn together with it. I saw your other post on plant problems. Your soil has enough nutrients.Get rid of that tablet first.
Flushing (Not with that tablet and lime in soil), using distilled water or low EC water when watering can help.
Get your temps lower, move the light higher. 600W is a bit too much for them in a hot and dry climate. Raise the humidity. These are the main things I say.
How To Change Your Soil's pH | Horticulture and Home Pest News (http://www.ipm.iastate.edu/ipm/hortnews/1994/4-6-1994/ph.html)
I don't want to mess with this pH thing because I don't know it. The soil I use have 5.5-6.5 pH buffer in it and I'm ok with giving pH 8.4 nutrient water without any adjustment. Runoff comes out as 6.5
When you do multiple mistakes that brings problems. When you do one mistake plants may deal with it.
