first grow log, I WILL need help

[michaelpeg]

day 8 - I transplanted my plants last night but there has been no improvement in the drooping leaves. What could be causing this? My ph is fine, temps between 75-85 all day, and i have only watered with distilled water and cal mag at 5ml per gallon. Is this maybe not enough cal mag? also the leaves have a little red on the edges.

[michaelpeg]

come on guys a little help here??

Soil Grows - Peat Based

What is your experience level? (first timer, novice, experienced...)

Your Equipment:
.1) Type and wattage of lights. (MH, HPS, CFL's, tube fluorescents, LED's)
.2) Distance from tops?
.3) Reflector type? (cool tube set-up, bat wing, enclosed reflector, bare bulb...)
.4) Is there a consistent fresh air supply?
.5) Do you have an exhaust fan and a circulation fan?
.6) What are the bulb wattages, kelvin ratings, and schedule?

Your medium:
.7) Specific brand and type of soil, (coco, peat based soilless...) and anything you've added to it. (vermiculite, perlite, worm castings...)
.8) Size of container.

Your nutrients and water:
.9) Source of water. (tap or filtered) What's it's ph?
10) Method of checking water ph. (ph pen, test strips, aquarium test kit...)
11) Method of adjusting water ph. (phosphoric acid, white vinegar, hydrated lime, PH Up...)
12) Specific brand and N-P-K ratio for each bottle. List dosages (quantity per gallon) and current feeding schedule.
13) How often are you watering between feedings, and how much per watering?
14) Any additives or tea's? (Superthrive, CalMag, molasses, Mother's Earth...)
15) Are your ph levels stable, or do they fluctuate?
16) What is your ingoing water's ph? ...your runoff ph?
17) Do you foliar feed? If so, with what, how often, and at what time do you spray?

Your growroom:
18) Indoors or outdoors?
19) What size of closet, room or hut?
20) What are the temps and humidity levels while lights are on? ...With lights off?
21) Have you seen signs of insects in the growroom?

Your strain:
22) What strain are you growing? (Indica dominate or Sativa dom?)
23) From seeds or clones?
24) Is this an autoflower strain?

your plants will be sad, their roots, still small. but the hopes could be promising if it don't get worse; What i see:
1your plants are stretched; you messed up a day but idk, should they be better now? is this a problem of light lumen, distance, or reflection? maybe it's 2your medium; as a rule, seeds don't need much help underground-wise with nutrition but they do enjoy the correct environment. that soil looks a bit odd to ME so thats another guess i have
3your setup looks, well, valid so keep it up if it works. maybe consider a change in your growing area(the buckets they are inside?) and redo how you ventilate them(fan position)..third and final suggestion. hope your babys live! gl
Peace:thumbsup:

Peace:thumbsup:

im confused but thanks:wtf::stoned::jointsmile:

[bonedaddy420]

you should get some 6500k bulbs instead of the 2700k for veg, and probably you should add some more bulbs, if possible, but yeah, get the "daylight" temp bulbs, and for flowering use the 2700's.

[michaelpeg]

thanks, yes i know higher kelvin is better for veg as it keeps down stretching and makes em bushier but i highly doubt that this is the cause of my curling leaves.

[Italiano715]

from reading your troubleshooting forum, the only thing I can think of that may cause that curling is humidity issues (since you have no idea what it is) or it may be the FFOF soil that is too harsh for the seedlings as of now. I'm sure the curling leaves will subside in the following week or so! I hope they pull through for ya!!!!

One of your pictures it shows your lights....They don't look like 2700K to me. Maybe the flash of the camera caused it to have the "white" color to it? IDK maybe you should lift the lights a bit to around 2-3 inches rather than 1-1 1/2
and see if that makes a difference!

[michaelpeg]

yes they are indeed 2700 k i cant seem to work my camera very well and also there is 1 cool cfl 23 watt in there (the smallest one) but i didn't mention it because these plants aren't really using that bulb. ok I will lower them a smidge. thanks
