These little ladies need your help!

[killacamkilla]

Hey all here are a few pics of my little guys i have 3 skunk 1 white queen and 1 white widow. i am using a 400w MH i have good ventilation coming in from outside with a canfan for exhaust when i need it. Humid is at a solid 50-60% and temp ranges from 18-23 degrees C. i am growing in soil as you can see. i received these 2 days ago and have had them going for 2 days on 18-6. from my understanding they were just put in those pots the day i received them. some are looking well, but some are looking like they are declining. oh yeah they are all clones and all are female.

What is the best distance to have your 400w mh above your plants? i have no started adding any nutes yet could that be a problem. there pics are after i woke up this morn and the soil was getting pretty dry so i added some water. the only other thing i can think of that is hurting my babies is there is a very small light leak with my ventilation coming in. hope you guys can help thanks alot.

I am almost positive I read a thread saying 12-16 inches away for a 400w.

Don't take my word for it, check a few other logs I am sure you will find the anwser but keep us updated on the plants.

Light leaks won't cause yellowing, but can get you some hermies ! You should try to fix that. Are you already flowering these little plants ? As the pictures are a little blurry I'm not too sure.

[killacamkilla]

Well to me this plant is into flowering, don't understand how if you keep it on 18/6, but she has some pistils and starting to form buds... So the problem may really be the lack of nutriments... I there something special you did in the past days/weeks ? Is this plant a clone from another plan ? It may be an autoflowering strain... that really the only guess I have right now...

[killacamkilla]

yes they are clones from other plants. hmmm guess well have to see what happen i hope their not flowering.

I don't want to disappoint you but the picture clearly show some pistils and buds forming. Are you sure you are giving them at least 18 hours of light? I really hop I can help you out, but there is not much I can think of right now... Maybe a more experiences grower will pass by and tell us that I'm wrong.

how often are you watering? they look like they are overwatered possibly. it doesnt matter if they have pistis they are clones you can veg clones with pistils lol. are they rooted clones? do you have a fan lightly blowing between light and canopy? also how far is it away from light? if you can hold your hand at top of leaves for a minute without the heat being uncomfortable its agood distance. or even hold your hand like a foot from the light and gradually get closer until it is uncomfortable to get an idea of the distance so that you dont have to keep moving the light

edit: oh and the yellowing is normal for clones as long as the newer growth is green don't worry about nutes just yet wait at least a week

[Shovelhandle]

two days ago you got them? They could be yellow from overwatering, as bloodbro said. Also the transplant could have shocked them. No matter that they are showing preflowers. They should be vegged until they have a good root system before flowering otherwise they will be slow to grow.
I keep 400 W MH about 18" from stabilized plants, probably a little further for clones that are still rooting.
