1st GROW PLEASE HELP THEY LOOK SICK

[slamnsam]

ok i got the list from the top of the page and will fill out as much as i can. i will try by explaining what i have allready don in case that has contributed to my problems. the plants were started from seed in seedling mix and then transplanted into coco the bushier one has been a bit retarded about seince it struck it's 2nd node (it started growing shoots everywhere from the side of the main stem) all was good until they were in the coco for about 2 weeks and thats when the leaves started curling up and twisting a bit on the retarded plant at first i thought i may have been due to low humidity (it's pretty dry here) so i set up a humidifier in the room but it did'nt help then i thought it may have been due to over ferting so 2 days ago i flushed the plants and they are looking even sicker. by the way the fert i am using is canna coco and the light is on 24/0 600w GE lucagrow.

thanks in advance for your time and help:thumbsup:

Have you flushed and checked the PH run off.
Best range for hydro and soil less mediums is 5.0 to 6.0.

I'm no expert but a 24/0 lighting schedule seems high for a four week growth. Also the only explanation I could have is a nute deficiency. If it's not you ph than it could be your fert. Do you know what the NPK ratio is on your fert.

[slamnsam]

i checked the ph of the run off and it is 6.9 could this be causing this much of the problem? and should i reduce the light? i thought most ppl ran 24/0 during veg.. the values on the nute bottles are
A+B
N(NH4) 0.490%
N(N03) 22.12%
P2O 17.04%
K2O 12.93%
CaO 36.40%
MgO 8.000%
SO3 8.000%
B 0.300%
Cu 0.005%
Mn 0.055%
Mo 0.014%
Zn 0.023%
SI 0.012%
Fe DTPA 0.190%
Fe EDDHA 0.020%
FULVIC ACID 0.375%
HUMIC ACID 0.600%

thanks for the help so far guys... are there any more suggestions??
thanks in advance,

If your Ph is wrong plants wont feed, hence nute deficiency, so getting your PH right will do more good than harm its a step in the right direction.
What you need now is some of the more knowledgeable members to help.

doing the ph right now thankyou so much

[dragula05]

I could have it wrong but I'm running 18/6 right now in my third week. Which seems pretty uniform from what I've seen but I would trust GT over me, and he doesn't seem to have a problem with it.

[Greenthing]

I run 18/6 and some of my friends run 24/0 I think it is personal preference.
I like 18/6 because I reckon it gives the plant a rest.
