planted 3 weeks ago, looking for advice

[clayboy]

This is my first hydro attempt.

I have a 2-gallon active drip system, lighted by two 30w compact fluorescents, 1800 lumens per. They're looking awfully skinny so far, but that's probably due to me keeping the lights too high initially. I lowered them just last week to just a few inches above them. I also had some ph issues early last week but it seems to have stabilized now. Some of the leaves look a bit yellow too. I flushed the system today and added fresh nutes.

Tomorrow will be the 3-week mark from the time I planted the seeds.

Just looking for any help/advice you can offer. Thanks

Looks like no cal mag plus from the red stem. PH might of held you back but not much. Seedlings do not need nutes for two week and then 1/4 nutes. If you don't have cal mag you can use a little epson salt to help.

Way to go greenboy. awsome for a first time. I got some of those bean ,can't wait till I'm free to grow again.
How do they smell ? , Wish I could.

I dropped my lights to about 1 inch above the lovely ladies and they are really responding! I'll post more pics soon.

Update:

After dropping the lights I had a good response at first, but throughout the week they started wilting again and some of the leaves have yellowed. I'm wondering if this could have happened when I ran out of ph down and used white vinegar instead.

I flushed today and used fresh nutes, also plucked out the weakest plant of the bunch. I have the lights about 2 inches above right now, hoping that perhaps the vinegar threw them off or something.

Any thoughts?

Surpose ph can couse yellow, but as for vinaga I havent a clue???
What sort of PH leavels are you keeping, and how mant times a day are you flooding now??
What sort of flowing light have you got ready for when they go on 12/12??:hippy:

I've been keeping the ph around 6.

Just upgrade the lights today from two 30w CFL's to two 42w CFL's, not sure if that will make a difference but I figured it couldn't hurt.
