Seedlings just showing and growing first leaves. Sruggling with keeping temp down in tents way to hot up at 92f. RH too dry at 20-30% but all looking healthy. Hanging wet towels up in tent 3 times a day has brought temp down considerably, still hitting max of 85f. Just purchased new intake fan, hopefully will fit next week

Seedlings all doing well but think I've overwatered a little so eased off watering and just spraying leaves with a little water seems to be helping. Was worried about putting them under 600watts so dimmed lights to 250watts for a day then increased to 400watts for another day then to full 600watts, the plants seem to love the light, first leaves showing and stems looking healthy and all looking good 👍

All good no problems and they all seem to be doing what they should, happy with progress, going to start with some light nutes in next week, using fox farm trio.

Plants all looking bushy and filled out a lot this week , decided to top only 3 of the plants as first time grow, they seemed to be ok after topping for few days then having yellow starting to appear on lower leaves , not sure if I've overwatered a little? Giving half nutes recommended on bottles for now see how the go.

Plants not looking good im sure I've overwatered the last week and given enough nutes? Im giving nutes according to label on bottles now, they're up and down a lot this week, look good then ill all of a sudden. Cut loads of yellow crispy and rubbery leaves this week then they looked good after watering, two days later leaves turning yellow again. Going to give 20ml of each nutes next feed see if that helps?

Aaagghhh! Leaves are still turning yellow spreading from bottom to middle ,few brown spots too, cut lot of dead leaf last week but still yellowing this week. Soil Ph was bit high creeping over 7, now Ph'd the water to 6 to try lowering it a little, I upped nutrients last watering 2 days ago for a heavy feed according to the labels on bottles, I've given a light dose this morning as Im sure it's a nutrient deficiency? Giving each plant around 3/4 litre every other day now with or without nutes, think i overwatered last week or so giving them 1.2 litres each feed. Top of plants seem good but can't seem to stop the yellowing, one day they look like they're dying then they look good the next, also moved lights up to 3ft away from canopy today see if that helps. temps are good in tents, so frustrating when they looking ill 🤒. Think I'm doing everything right? Gonna leave them for day or two now to use up the nutes and see how they react, be plain water next feed. Hope they look better soon im waiting to start flowering but scared to change over while they not at their best.

Check your runoff water for the ec level. Make sure your ph is also coming out at 6.3 for veg. This is how you diagnose your problems. Also fabric planters need more water as when they fill with roots they can become harder and harder to get the water/food to all the roots. Water channeling and leaving dry areas in your root zone. Dry roots can form brown spots on your plants, usually mid to near the top of the plant. Cheers
