As the title says this is my first grow and was hoping for some helpful advice... also is going to be low budget due to recent loss of hours at work. I started them off in small starter pots and transplanted 3 of them. First solo pic is the GG#4 and rest is mids. I FIMed the GG and 1 mids... got them on 20/4 light schedule right now. A few are showing leaf symptoms but idk what is wrong... one looks like normal drooping, other idk.... here is my setup.

Lights : 1x200watt cfl 6500k full spectrum, 3x18w 2700k cfl(laying around house)

Medium : Hyponex soil mixed with perlite.


Strains : all bagseed :( , first is Gorilla Glue # 4(plzz bud gods let it be a girl) others are mid grade..


Water/Nutes : using distilled water/rain water, no nutes at the moment... do have hb101 but not using yet.

Fans : 1x old pc fan, 1x clip on fan.

Well thats about it... any help or advice is greatly appreciated! :bigjoint::bigjoint:

A small update... the one that was wilting is good now and the other one still has end of leaf looking chewed up... but its healthy. Going to have to get rid of one due to space limitations... but out of 4 hopefully one will be female. Of course next grow i will be going with feminized seeds...

Here is a small update(most likely last on this forum due to lack of interest and advice)... i fimmed the two bigger ones and they are looking good except for 1part of one leaf is turning yellow on the side? Not the tip....but other then that one is 5" other is 6 1/2"... still one of the leaves look chewed up on one of the smaller ones but its still alive... im probably gunna wait til all of them are about 1 1/2 ' to 2 1/2 ' til i flip to 12/12...

They look good. Another one of those big bulbs is a good idea, and when your flowering three of them in there will probably be best.

Looks like light burn to me on that leaf. Another 65k light would be better than those others. The lumens ratio is better with 23w CFLs.

Ok so... a few days ago i turned one of the plants because it was growing to the light(so i thought) and todayy i noticed it was not getting any better... so when i grabbed it to try an move it i noticed it was really loose in the soil, so i stood some dirt up around the base of stem and packed it a little...its standing up but anyone know why its like this? And how can i fix it?
