    Default New grower - dry curly leaves

    Hi all. I'm hoping someone can help me.

    I have 3 clones which I received a week ago. I have them under a 600 w hps which I gradually moved closer and it's about 2 feet away now.
    I have them in small pots filled with coco and clay pebbles. I started feeding them with 1/4 canna a/b nutes and spraying with vitalink foliar. I've been using water at ph 5.8. The last few feeds I have increased nutes to 3ml per litre.

    The plants have started drooping and I've noticed some brown spots on leaves leaves also seem a bit dry. Here are some pics, I'd be grateful for any advice anyone can offer to get these back to a healthy state.

    My temp is only 22c with lights on. Is this too cold? I have a small heater which I could put in tent to warm things up and maybe increase humidity?

    Sorry about pics being upside down - I think this is a problem with the forum as they are the right way up on my computer - rotating them doesn't resolve this issue.

    Not an expert but PH may be a little low also I had the same issue when I moved clones under light that was to intense and had to move them farther away.

    PH 5.8 shouldn't be a problem. Could you give a little more detail i.e. what generation the clones are and what type of space your growing in .

    Not sure about the heritage of the clones. They're blue cheese though. Am using a ds120 tent, 6" extraction through cf, passive intake 4" and a 4" fan for circulation with a controller set to about half speed.
    I was going to put a heater in today with a tray of water to try and raise humidity.

    Mag def. Up your Ph to 6.0 and let it fall, then raise it, as keeping it at 5.8 your right at the bottom of the scale for Magnesium and Potassium.
    22* is a little cold - if that's your lights on temp what's your lights off?
    Get a temp and Rh meter.

    I would say your PH is too low for soil it should be at 6.5 which is the sweet spot for soil growing.
    Also you may have over feed them a little they will have plenty of nutes in the soil.

    I would give them a good flush with water at PH 6.5 & then re-pot them in to bigger pots with a mix of John Innes #2 & perlite & see how they go m8.

    Have a look in here m8 they know their stuff I'm more of a hydro man but I hope this helps..
