They are stressed, overwatered and now transplanted.

Let them be man. They need a week to dry out I bet. The leaves will flatten out and turn more of a medium green and look happy and healthy.

If you keep doing things to them they will get much worse.

Growing is a slow process. successful growers dont play wih their plants a lot.

There not on our time line.............................>>>> don't over think it........ there not running as fast as your brain is going and what your seeing and reading on the net....

go back to the days of reading a book, going to the Pay Phone, using Stamp for the Mail......

You my friend are modest... I stand by my statement.

For sure you both don’t give ur selves enuff credit!! Great teachers !!

I'm always one for using the least amount of nutrients possible. It certainly keeps me out of trouble and it works well, although the available nutrients that were in the soil should keep it happy for the first 2-4 weeks. If the soil/medium has nutrients pre loaded, then you shouldn't need to feed at all for a few months, depending on the makeup. When they are very young, they require very little nutrients. Once they go into alternate growth on the main stem, I consider feeding if the medium doesn't have anything in it. Adding nutes to pre-fortified mediums often ends badly with lockouts and other problems. Consider what exists in nature. The nutrient levels are pretty low but plants still thrive. Adding a little more is fine, but plants, like people, don't always benefit from a constant all-you-can-eat buffet.

I learned (from these guys) that most of the time LESS is more !

 

[Moshmen]

There is no hard and fast rule. Some people dont like to remove any. I personally like to defoliate a week before I flip the light, then once more 3 weeks or so in to flower. First time in veg I remove any large fan leaves that are blocking the majority of the light from the lower growth. The one 3 or so weeks in to flower I remove anything that doesnt look like it will be a good bud or anything that covers more than it would yield.

It's a bit of an art. But if you never remove a single leaf, you'd still get some great smoke.

I’m the opposite I believe that the leaves are the life line of the plant I never take them until they are all used up. I do take the bottom leaves to ease watering but other than that I only take em if absolutely have to .
See how opposite the growing styles are? Lmao both work by the way

For $150 you should do better. A Mars TS1000 is cheaper and IMO better.

Everyone will have a lite opinion! Lol but yes you can do better for 150 for sure and buzz is the light god! Won’t steer ya wrong!
And my opinion is most of the mars stuff is overpriced/under quality

For $150, at least I know that they have a presence on line and from what I've heard have descent customer service. I know you can go through Alibaba and get some Cobbs, or some QBs, for around that, but for a newbie to deal with that it would just be easier to go through Mars. At least that was my thinking that's all.

So I highered the light to about 27 inches from my tallest plant before going to the movies. Came home plants had water on most of the leaves. But they may be coming around. Well here some pic see what you guys think.

 

[Aqua Man]

Yup just need some time

Yeah they are getting their. I think me raising the lights and the humidity getting high along with good temp might have helped them a lil. I know they were in need of water. Think they on their way.

Watch going over 60% humidity. Thats when mold and mildew can take hold.

And keep letting them dry out. Just pick up the pots and unless they are alarmingly light do not water!

Ok will make sure to keep humidity in check. And yeah I've learned how to water in these pots its really easy to tell. Tomorrow imma do some small improvements to the tent gonna lay down a small rack for the plants to sit on. Alone with raising the lights a few inches to keep them at 27/28 inches from my biggest plant. And fix my fan just right. Also got clips for the lights so they will hang separately tomorrow. Also got a good timer so they will be back on 18/6 time frame like they werem

Yeah thanks to everyone giving help. Hope I dont run into any more issues just dry out pot and then water nothing extra lol.

 

[Rolandomota]

So this is what the plants look like today. Yes my humidity is a bit high I am gonna move shit around and add fans and that not.

 

[Rolandomota]

And here is what the lights look like on the plants. To me I need to move the 2 boards apart some to get more even light coverage. But I could be wrong I'm new to this anyone have any suggestions that use led boards???

Best way to improve that is to add more light. Needs to be over. 15k-50k for veg. And 45k-65k for flower.

I have lights and volts at the lowest setting for now they had a bit off issues with how close I had the lights and how bright they were and they needed water and I also transplanted them so I have it all low. They slowly waking back up I'll give them more juice soon. Just notice i that in th middle I get bet power. And I have both lights touching so I have 3 spots that it's the brightest. So I guess I was trying to find out if I separately hung them could I still get good coverage for my 5 plants.
