with some patience and care two plants look just fine. just germinated some autos so these babs will go through about 8 weeks of veg now so I expect them to fully recover and yield.
very happy with the progress considering their situation a few weeks ago.
You did amazing! I'm wondering if they are just stunted and unable to come back to life because of the size of the pots. I will.keep them but I think I'll try and downsize the pots
Based on your picture showing the lights, you cooked em. Too much light, too close, and the heat from that cooked them. I had a 35w bulb about 2 inches from the top which was fine, then switched to 65w at same height and I warped my plant. Next time try starting out about 6 or 8 inches and slowly moving downwards to the tops. But a setup like you have is going to create way too much heat above them.
hey man, my issues were a combo of too much cfl light too early and I accidentally sprayed them with nuted feed not water! they are loving the cfls now. good luck with yours too mate.
They are 40W's, I tried the hand test on this set up and it wasn't too warm. There is a fan blowing on the bulbs. the initial burn was when my set up lowered itself and I woke up with them essentially touching. and I fed them nutes way early. The photo is slightly deceptive too. they've been under that set up for three days and they are showing new green growth so I think it's ok. thanks for the comment man
