Lil help finding out what's wrong with my baby, please?
Thanks, everyone, for the info, but this was a while ago. My problem was partially ph because when I started adjusting the ph they started growing again and looking much better. The ph problem was being caused by the nutes that came with the system. They're dsesigned to ph balance the solution to 6.5. Basically, they're garbage for growing cannabis. I got new nutes, and watched my ph closely and they began doing better, but I had another problem as well. I had a serious bacterial infect. It took me a couple weeks to figure out that's what the problem was, and then it took me a couple weeks to figure out how to eradicate the bacteria, but I finally did. My res is clear now, and will stay that way, because I'm keeping it inocculated with beneficial bacteria and fungi and such.
They're doing much better now, and have been in 12/12 since Oct 3rd. One of the females was badly stunted by the experience(4th pic), and when the male and other female began growing quickly again the stunted one was so far behind that the lights were just too far away from her to be much help to her. I've lowered one of the lights down so that it's right above her, and she's doing a little better, I've begun seeing visable growth from her again.

I think you have a heat issue...
I would also advise you to buy gh3-part as advised above.
there is a lot of good advice here and some iffy information.
Mix your 3-part at 5-5-5. do not try lucas method until you are more experienced, besides it is only useful to growers in limited space. If you want more yield, use gh as intended. that means You use Grow part throughout veg and about 2-3 weeks into flower.
ph your rez between 5.4 and 5.9. optimum is 5.8.
get enough bubbles going to provide enough oxygen to you rez
you should changeout nutes every 7-10 days...one day per gallon, and top off with ph'd water in between. (this is very important, letting your water levels down too far can cause a lot of stress).
this will get you started...goodluck.
what kind of lights are you using, because that is where your heat problem starts.

latewood...I'm using CFLs. I have 3 42w bulbs. For flowering I'm using one blue and two red. For vegging I used one red and two blues. I don't have heat issues because the temp has never gotten over 82F right above them. Right now I have to watch the temp and make sure it doesn't get too low.
Are you judging by the pics on the first page, or the ones that I just posted a few minutes ago?
