First time grower needing some help please.

[piggywiggles]

Hello. This is my first grow. im using 400 w Mh for veg and HPS for flowering in a 75x75x100 Budbox. Ive got Plagrow royal mix soil, mineral water with ph modified by malt vinegar to 6.5-6.7. They are a week old from the start of germination. And the light has been placed foot above them (from today, before i used florescent lights)

Last night i turned off my lights at 11 to turn on to 5 with a timer and unfortunately it failed to work which in turn pissed me of incredibly. Anyways, in the morning i woke up at 6:44 to then run and turn on the light for the plants when i noticed the leaves had drooped. The temp was 18 C which shouldnt of happened for more than an hour or two (it's usually 24-28 C). One plant has uncurled but the other two still droop. Surely they can withstand these conditions for a short amount of time? Would like an expert opinion on my assumption and please someone tell what i need to do to if i need to do anything. . Oh and it's pineapple express G13 seeds :rastasmoke:

The first picture i attached shows the droop on my tallest plant 'Zion'. The second shows my very bent :S plant 'Kingston'. The third is of another worry. 'Zion' and 'Kingston' have a white thin 'fluff' on the. Im sure it's not Spider mites because i cant see any eggs and the fluff is'nt clear. I think it's fluff from my room because the ventalation was very poor for the first 5 days when i noticed it. Or it could be powdery mildew. Could someone please advise. And apologies for the third picture's quality. you can just make out the white 'fluff' as spots. Thanks again guys.

I've personally never foliar feed, but occasionally when I use sprays to prevent pests I'll notice spots on the leaves where the liquid formed a drop then later evaporated.

The plants look possibly a little over watered. If it's humid on top of the foliar feed it could be PM, but I can't really be certain. There's more helpfull folk on this site, hope they show up! :thumbsup:

Thanks for that a bunch mate. It could be due to overwatering. It's also the first time they have been put on 18 hours of light from 24 hr. They could still be sleeping?

Can i also ask what PM is? Thanks again.

[cranston1]

PM is powdery mildew.

[piggywiggles]

Yer of course it is. that was silly of me. Well my plant is still drooping and i dont know what to do. I thought it might peak up in the morning with more light but they still look sad =[ plz help!

[headshake]

the plant looks fine overall, but it does appear to be over-watered.

the grey does look like residue from being foliar sprayed. you can start watering as soon as the plant has roots (which it obvoiusly does).

it's not uncommom for plants to sag when the lights go out, by the way.

and you want girls, not guys, so you might want to consider new names. lol.

good growing!
