I've done this to figure out which mixture produces the best results. I figured I would experiment and find the best method available

I moved the lights to 7" away. I have a slight height restriction, I built a shelf just for seedlings and cloning, but only gave it a clearance of around 22" I guess I will have change that in the coming days.

I'm not certain... The one with the leaves dying was the biggest of all of them, up until 3-4 days ago, she was looking like mother material, now she is lagging, turning crisp on the edges and browning. Updated Picture - [attachment=o285418]

Have admired your "work" with non-soil factors, however not yet ready for that. After getting my Gal's out of their small containers, the "over-watered" symptom disappeared;
now we are on track for harvest in "about" one month; Hula Buddha and Kona from SOHUM Seeds, am very pleased even if i've lost three; 2 males, one dead.
Am Feeding about three times a day, seems to work; have 400W MH tuned down to 50%, and it is more than enough without burning
Just jump right into soilless mixtures. That's what I did...I'm learning a lot quickly. Fast track learning!
