Yeah they look great! Thx for the thread
Yeah they look great! Thx for the threadI don’t weight my plants as i am not legal and if things go south some equipment could cause me extra trouble where i live (stupid laws).. you can check out my grow diary if you like.
Edit; here’s a link, you can comment and everything, i love exchanging ideas.

Dude take this advice if nothing else, i start all my seeds under leds and i keep them at 20 inches, 160w true draw for veg (you haven’t specified if its 300w from the wall or it is an equivalent to 300w type of deal) and never had any problems. Those lights can’t be that strong imo. Water them when they need it, when the top 2 inches dry. Plants are resilient, after they establish their roots they are not going to die from lack of water easily, but they “drown” very easily in stagnant water lacking O2.
That light should be ok at 20+ inches in my opinion but never it hurts to try, again i think your problem is either overwatering or a soil too rich with nutrients, or both imo.I'm using a mars hydro led which is 300w equivalent i believe. I did order a smaller grow light that's 18w. Hopefully i can bring them back to life with less watering and less light.
My light is raised about 2 feet and it doesn't have separate light switches. But the new smaller light i got can alternate the colors. Do you guys think i can bring them back or just start over?
At 2 feet that light shouldn’t do damage to the plants. Your problem is with the rootzone imo. The one time i got the same symptoms with my seedlings was because root rot. Is there a rancid smell coming out of the soil?
If it is root rot, you have very little chance to save such little ones ime but what i would do (i am newbie too, take it with a grain of salt) would be introducing benefical bacteria with a compost tea enriched with some rooting hormones or rooting supplements also some em1 or lactobacilli serum (added after brewing is done) to eat away the dead root mass and help with the recovery.
Root rot or not this recipe can’t hurt either way, if you have equipment you can do it.
Has the burn continued since the pic you showed..And crimson is right that it's probably the soil or overwatering. I have burned leaves from lights (flourecents) being to close, but once I thought it was lights again burning my plants ,yet it wasn't it wass too much nitrogen as I put nitrogen stakes in the soil while I was already properly fertilsed..Lol doing too much 1st grow..so my advice is ph test the soil cause you don't want to put new ones in there until you know what happened. If you live in a state that's got recreation or whatever my advice would be to get some clones that are over 6 inches tall. And start with those.. this would be good for beginning. If not start germinating and don't throw out the plants as you may be able to save a few. If they are not femonized in 3 weeks from pop your first top be sure to clone it and immediately start it in a 12/12 to determine sex. This is the route I would take if it was me.
Oh and you can get an awesome deal on Amazon for a ph/phH20/ec/temp/ppm tester. Should be less than 40. And make sure you get the one with ph up and down for water. I know you have RO but may help and it's the same price.Ok so how often do you water?
And not looking but you have smart pots or bags? I came back from it thanks to hans an old friend who wrote the sea of green in the early 90's so don't give up. Believe it or not and I don't care what anyone says these plants are resilient and actually like kind of being stressed as they program to get stronger. For instance break a branch tape it Walla your good 90% of the time. Nugnuckets shows lst and I tried it with this belief. At first I was like wtf as the plans seem stunted and doing nothing the ones I didn't stress seemed strong and yet now they look super weak vs the ones stressed. So not comparing Apple's to oranges they can come back but the two best ideas amongst this forum was soil ph as I think it's nitrogen and it was either crim or diesel who said overwatering with the height of your lights according to farmers and a few resources you should be good. For me I think your soil is to hot with nitro.
How far are you keeping the light from the tops? Mine are fine under a 600w led...Thanks for the feedback every one. I'll try to get some florescent lights and start in cups next time.
My water schedule is once a week right now.
