@chemistry I've been rotating every so often to give both sides a bit of the uva but I'm gonna stop that and leave them getting it all on one side, maybe like you say I'll see a difference, for better or worse though lol time will tell.
Water going in is 6.5, sometimes a tad over sometimes a tad under.
I haven't got a clue what my ppm's are, that's advanced tech for me
@SmithsJunk I would love some better lighting but needs must, I rock what I got.
At full im running 312w of light. 276 of CFL and 36watt of uva. Equates to 21000 lumens, obviously plants need to be be kept very close to get the effect though. I'm gonna scrog these, if they survive that is lol and keep a flat canopy under the light, I topped n mainlined last time but decided on top, supercrop n scrog for these, hoping to achieve, 3 maybe 4 oz in that space, gonna pack it out. That's a while off yet though.
@chemistry stay tuned n will see if one side lives or dies lol
Seriously though, wtf is happening with these little fuckers, I know people have said it's normal for reveg but I can't help but wonder. I'd love to hear people's opinions on these pics
I was thinking shall I remove the pinking leaves but I thought maybe the plant is taking certain nutrients from them leaves to use elsewhere, if i remove the leaves maybe the plant will just start taking from another leaf instead? Just a thought. Also after Super cropping, bending all the branches down and trimming already I think the plants maybe a bit stressed so I don't really wanna trim anything else right now, I feel like they just need to rest now and risk shocking them anymore, I'm just gonna let the girls drop them leaves when there ready. I like the explanation of building a new veg body it makes senseIt will grow a little funky, it has to get rid of the flower nuits it's made of now, and rebuild a veg body, the new growth looks ok though, bit of a burnt tip, but it should still revert. You can cut the weird pink leaves off if you want, they're producing no energy for the plant, and my be blocking green leaves that will.

@m8ty they've just been watered before pic, I'm giving them roughly 200ml of water every 2day so overwaterings not a problem
@SmithsJunk i see it, my dirt is really dry and crusty by the time i water though. I'm familiar with plumped up leaves from over water but the leaves that look like it here are very thick, dry and leathery feeling.
I'm gonna make sure they're extra dry for next few waters though and see how we go.
theyre growing slowly though, better than no growth n death.
Hopefully soon they'll snap out of this lull and explode
Instead of going by the wetness of the top soil (crustyness) can you lift the pots to feel if they are heavy or light before watering? Also there may be too much light in there for such a small plant, too much light will also cause your leaf to yellow like that (Mag deficiency caused by too much light)
@SmithsJunk I grew the mum in this set up, same dirt, same lighting. I mainlined, she was bushy and tight nodes, good growth, no problem at all start to finish. Not the most powerful of lighting but I got over 2oz of nice bud off her when dried.
As for overwater I can lift the plant out with the dirt and see the bottom. It's defo dry I know my dirt in my set up n how long it takes to dry I've used it a few times and I like to let them dry out.
@m8ty I think I will turn a few bulbs off for a bit while they're recovering.
I'm trying to not look properly for a couple of days.
Hopefully when I have a proper look again I'll see some improvements
@SmithsJunk U can see mum here https://www.thcfarmer.com/community/threads/sshaze-260w-cfl.100153/page-2
Thanks bro, that give me a smile. the cfls veg ok but it's a little but of a slower process than hps or other more powerful lights and I suppose they do alright for flower, obviously u get more bud using better lights and faster growth but the cfls are working for me right now, some point I would of course like to upgrade.Wow, that's better than I expected.

Theyre only any good for small, closet grow like mine though, I've got 12 cfls set up, i can finish one to three plants under them nicely but growing 4/5 plus plants is impossible, you'd need to many bulbs n fittings
@SmithsJunk im definetely gonna get a proper light at some point but right now I can't afford it, its not top of my priorities, although I love growing I gotta sort the wife n kids first. Be back on top soon enough though, then I'll treat myself.
I'll definetely look into these lights youve mentioned though, I would like something to gimme a light boost in flower, i need it really.
