Hi! I'm a new grower but i have already read a lot about growing, and i thought i was doing everything fine, but recently the leaves in the young plants began to deform and get this really dark green tone. I'm using Plagron Light-Mix soil which is ok for young plants, i have only been using bottled mineral water with a pH of 5.83. The lamps aren't too close to the plants (i use fluor and HPS) and i've been watering them every 2-3 days, avoiding to have any run-off. Sometimes the soil surface gets very dry from the HPS but i checked underneath and it isn't dry.
