What state is that. Wow 16 year old puffy nipples Whoo Hooo.

Add an ounce or more of hydrogen peroxide to a gallon of water to oxygenate and boost your ladies up. Only downside is, is that it may kill good fungi if you are feeding with molasses. I did mine, and I probably will never not use peroxide on every feeding. They just perked up like 16 year old nipples at a high school football game! (it's a joke calm down, and besides, 16 is legal in my state... lol)
 
haha..thats sick man..just sick..jk. anyhow im gonna post a close up of the sick little girl now..hold on a sec..im afraid she doesnt look much better.
 
sick plants leaf.jpgsick plant.jpgnew setup.jpgwell ok..the two pics of a plant obviously are the sick one. the only leaves on that plant that are yellow, are the ones of the close up i provided, but on both sides of each fan leaf, and on both fan leafs on each side of the plant, (if that makes sense) and the last pic is of the new setup i worked on for a good portion of yesterday. As i stated earlier, I bought 3 more t5's, so the older plants (right) have 3 t5's lighting them, and younger seedlings (left) have two. pay no attention to the smaller strip lights along the sides, those are just shitty "growing lights" I wasted money on at walmart a while back.
 
the yellowing of the leaves aren't the only thing im worrying about with this poor baby..she's also drooping alot, while the others are standing at attention, just looks depressed. Ill post a pic of the other ones when they wake up..they just went down for their naps..(4 hrs) but they look awesome!

what kind of hydrogen peroxide do I use? just the basic stuff I can get from any store?
 
ok..now im starting to get a little disgruntled..i feel helpless. I woke up this morning, did my normal check up on my ladies, and I noticed very small rust looking spots on a couple of the leaves of my best plant. the yellowing one is def not showing any signs of getting better, and another one of my smaller seedlings is also showing these small rust spots..that indicates a cal mag deficiency i believe, but im not sure if Im supposed to give them any yet. I do have it, but was waiting. Im gonna take a few pics to help you guys see it, but the frustrating part is I can only water once a week, if not even a little longer, because its taking that long for my soil to dry out. and even then, its still moist. so I dont know what to do. Its so long between waterings or feedings that Its like watching my son have the flu, but only be able to give medicine once a week..and just having to watch it happen. What do I do??? Please help me anyone! Everything was going great, now it seems to be falling apart! maybe im being a little over-dramatic, but this is my first grow, and i dont know how long these things take to clear up..
 
flourishing dina ww.jpgflourishing dina ww (2).jpgflourishing dina day 16.jpgflourishing day 16.jpgflourishing day 16 (2).jpgflourishing akr 3.jpgThese pics were taken yesterday, when i was finishing taping my pots. Any how, these all are of my two best plants. The one with the fatter leaves is the dinafem WW, and the slightly thinner leaves is AKR #3. Just in great shape, if you ask me! The Dina WW is the one that I woke up to rust spots on.ill upload those now..(the rust spots)
 
I'm not sure how old they are, but I've found that autos like a good cal-mag dose around 3-4 weeks. If the soil is too wet for a watering, another option would be to foliar feed some epsom salts (around 1 tbsp per gallon). The yellowing looks like it could be a bit of K deficiency, but they seem young for that. Assuming your pH is OK, the roots are probably waterlogged due to your soil issue. That can cause drooping and yellowing of leaves. One way to speed the drying of the soil is to take something like a thin wooden dowel and push it down to the bottom of the pot a bunch of times, making some channels for water to evaporate more quickly.

Overall they look good and I don't see anything to be really worried about. It may take a little time to work out the kinks, but it's all part of the learning process.
 
sick edges.jpgseedling rust.jpgrust spots dina ww.jpg Sorry, I know you have to really look hard, but on the first one, look at the edges of the lighter green leaves..theyre almost ALL browning. It looks worse than it appears in the pic..and on the 3rd pic, they also are bigger then they look here. If i zoomed in anymore, it gets very blurry. My camera kinda sux. The second pic is the biggest leaf on a seedling thats 11 days old. (out of soil) PLEASE HELP!! Is there something I can do from now until their next scheduled watering (SAT)??? I raised the lights a few inches, because I only had them like 2 to 3 inches from my plant top. My temps got as high as 86 for the first time yesterday. but only for minutes..Then is pretty much stayed at 81 exactly for the rest of the night. Still, raising it I think was necessary, so now its right at 77 degrees.
 
Thanks for the help andy, but those were the good pics..lol, I actually didnt think there was anything wrong with those ones...haha..the ones I just uploaded are the problem children. Oh yeah, and as far as cal mag, can I just give it a normal dose, or should I treat it like any other nute? start low..?
