    I think I over nuted my babies...

    FYI you're actually in a soilless mix. ProMix is a peat based soilless mix. Your PH range for this is between 6.0 - 6.5 (I feel you can go as low as 5.8 but others may disagree with me.. ideally you want to be consistently at about 6.3.) . What is the ph of the water that runs out the bottom of your pots?

    Also culligan? Isn't that a drinking water that you buy at the store or you have delivered to your home? Is it distilled or drinking water?

    E-Age of plant (6-7 weeks)
    When was the last time you transplanted?
    What size pot were they in prior and after transplanting?
    Have you run a flush?

    E-Type of fertilizer (Use MG Bloom Booster once before finding out it is shit. Peter's Professional All Purpose Plant Food throughout veg.)
    People do use MG with success. I personally wouldn't use it myself, but if I was forced to I would just run it at 1/2 strength.


    E-Type of ventilation your room has (small oscialting fan, large box fan on always)
    You need good ventilation. Air being sucked out of the grow area with fresh air being drawn in. Simply recirculating the air is not enough.

    Yellowing of lower leaves is normal. I'm guessing your problem is going to stem from the current shoe size of your plants. Honestly your plants look fairly good.

    I'm guessing you haven't transplanted your plants in the 6-7 weeks that you've had them?

    I moved my lamp up to about 13 inches above the canopy. As Dutch suggested.

    Daihashi, I never watered enough to get runoff until today. The well water I used to do this was 7.2 going in, and within the ranges you specified coming out. As posted above. I had no idea that was a soil less mix.

    Yes Culligan is reverse osmosis drinking water. I used that since I started being it's pH was neutral. I will switch to regular well water. I am almost positive the well water in this area is high in calcium. Any thoughts on this????

    I have only transplanted once from a 12 oz. plastic cup to the pots they are in now. I did this about week 2. I'm pretty sure they are 2 gallon pots. I have not flushed at all.

    I am going to they hydro store tomorrow and picking up some real nutes, instead of assaulting my plants with this Lowe's HD stuff. So I hope that does the trick.

    As for the ventilation, fresh air is being brought into the room via fan in the door, as well as being removed from the tub area by a box fan. I have the small osilating fan blowing over the plants to help push the air through the tub. With the size of my house and the fact that it is in the bathroom, standard ventilation is not an option for me. i.e. no cutting holes in the wall etc. This room has no windows as well. So the only way I can figure to do this is with the fan in the door.

    Thanks for all the information, glad to hear that this may not be anything I have done rather just the way things are.

    You should definetly transplant those. They are planted pretty deep in those pots or take them out and put a fresh layer of soil at the bottom of the pot. I usually leaves about 1/2 - 1 inch showing on the inside.
    But, If I wear you I would get a bigger pot and transplant. The size of pots you have work real well if you are going to flower a clone about 1 week after they root.

    Hope this helped any.
