thanks for the replies guys much appreciated. its settled , thanks for reassuring me its not anything else.i have been watering less since that was first suggested and really letting them get dry, they seem to be coming around, growing faster it seems and the new growth looks nice. theyre still growing thats for sure. noticeably so since this morning. I transplanted two of them into bigger pots. they were ready for sure, ill do the other one after as well. i just barely moistened the soil in a small circle around the plant. when i did so. the medium is basically dry for the most part. made sure not make their new home water logged haha.. ill post some pictures after when i get a hold of my phone again lol.. on a more positive note things are going splendidly in the flower tent lol. 3 weeks in and looking promising already.. she seems to be loving the 1k hps and quantom board combo.. thanks again everyone!
