FOXBIRD'S First Official Grow

[FOXBIRD]

these guys I put on the right side with the 400 watt HPS bulb..

Over the last 36 hours they have gotten ugly.

The stems and leaves feel solid and not flimsey. they feel sorta dry though..Maybe humidity is low?

I'm reading this may be a nitrogen deficiency also also looks like a overage of nito too.. the stemes are turning purple or red.
I changed the reservoir and add 2 gallons of water with 4mls of GH grow, mico and bloom each. and thats about 6-7-10 but only a quarter of the strength..

let them suck that up for 2 hours and then took em outta the water incase they are over hydrated.. will leave them outta the water till morning and in dark for 6 hours.. 18/6 cycle

Here are some pics of the sick ones..

[B]DAY 18[B]

My babies are looking much better. Following the new water and nutage. Oh and i got the air pump and air stones for the left side rez. Water is very oxygenated.. making plants very happy i think.

I'll post some more in a few

Day 18
Rest of the Pics from right side with 125W

Im not sure if the lights had fried them into that contortion or if it was too much water, but with the new water and small nutages and better airflow in the stones. Also, i took them out of the water for a day or 2 to dry them out a little bit, just to see. and moved them outside the 125 watt door , so they were getting a lower heat and wattage light, and they seemed to respond positively. there are spots on them from deficeincies of the macro nutrients i think , but that will get better with the mixture i have going now..

They are still a little droopy but much better..

Any ideas on what i can do..

Also i wanna get a 1/4 inch plexiglass shield to put between the 400 hps and the plants.

The small one i pinched at the first node. it has finally started to grow at a better pace. All healed up and sprouting 3 from first node... would have happened anyways, but i believe they will become strong colas. maybe wrong.

The taller one i pinched at the 2nd node and it too is finally growing at a better pace. And it too is sprouting 3 things, whatever you call it.tips? Tips.

Still think the roots arent that good as they have not come out the bottom of the pot.

Ok these are also still on the left side 125 w and they are my best at the moment. I didn't pinch these at all nor will I.
The roots are really good and getting really long, and strong.
They are getting some really good bubbles in the water right up close to the roots, which I attribute the good growing too.

I'm on the fifth node on both of those now and will start to veg them soon. probably for week from now until they hit 7-10 inches then sex them.

Day 19 and i have moved this guy back over to 125w on the left side.
I think the 400HPS is just too much for the seedlings, so ill see if the lower heat and lumens give the baby a rest..

I have my seedlings under a 150 hps, they seem to be fine.

What Nute mixture do you use?
