AlienKush 150HPS First Grow. Help ;)

I got two clones from my dispensary. Now I'm not too sure if they gave me the healthiest clones. I did make a mistake and burn a leaf on each plant so I cut them off after I decided it was doing more harm than good at the beginning of the 3rd week.

They are on 18/6. Its been over 3 weeks and they are pretty short.

Soil: MiracleGrow Organic
Veg Lights: 2x 23W 5700(assuming) + 23w Blue Spectrum bulb

Flower Lights: 6x 23W 2700

This is one photo from week 2 veg and the only one I have :/

Week 3 Veg ...looking not healthy :/?!?

Well at week 2 they looked a whole lot better than week 3 lol so I don't think your dispensary is to blame. Yellowing leaves is a nitrogen deficiency I believe. Either that or leaf burn. I'm not an expert though.

But one of the plants grew many calyxes which is good. The other one only has two T_T

mate they are doing fine some of the recent grows ive seen this week its one of the best keep it up and happy toking

Have you been giving them nutes?

have you been checking ph? something is off.

just wondering but have you been adjusting the PH of the water you feed your girls? very important

As for PH I have read on other forums that certain soil I'm using is right at 7.0.
I'm using distilled water which is supposed to neutral (again 7.0)
I was thinking of using BatGuana when i put them in flower (this is an all organic grow btw )
I think they are in 1 or 1.5 Gallon Pots. Should I transplant them to something bigger? They are just so small. So I really don't know if I should.

Your a fucking idiot.
I can't really tell the problem due to the picture quality but I'll say this

-Check PH (If you can't find a way to)
-Pull back on nutrients for now

i grew an alien OG but got it as a teen so i wouldntk now what it looks like early... but id agree with footlet on no nutrients and ph your water... once i started ph testing my water it showed a change in development. and for transplanting i would say not until you are sure they are healthy enough to withstand shock, as for you will need to put it in quite large pot because my root system was bound in a ~2.5 gallon pot

And for PH i will get a kit asap. But I'm outta town for another week :/
Also I was thinking of buying a 150W HPS instead of using the CFL for flowering.

Pretty harsh bro, he was just trying to reassure him. There's better ways of correcting someone.

Besides it's pretty ironic you call someone an idiot when you don't even know the difference between "your" and you're"

SAME!!!! If I get an O out of my plant I am DEFINITELY getting the hps.

Are you over watering them? Seriously, if you keep them too moist they just rot. I sometimes go 2-5 days without watering. Depends on how quickly they use it up, it isn't always at a constant rate. I used the same soil for my first grow and my plants were just fine. the ph of that soil should be fine. Those pots look like less than a gallon. maybe a half at most. Go to walmart, and get some of there cheap 1 and 2 gallon pots. they are plastic and come in all your favorite colors =D

try to get the cfl a bit closer like 2-4inches so they wont stretch, check ur ph,get a ph tester for 10$ at home depot or 9$ for ph strips at a aquarium place.
the right ph for growing wiith soil is around 5.8-6.0 im no expert but those numbers should be correct or really close.

Dude, WTF. 5.8-6.0 is way too low. That is like, hydro dude People need to stop spreading misinformation around lol.

You said you are using Distilled water with no nutes? if you are using Distilled water and not giving them nutes... thats probably the problem. I also think you are over watering. in all of your pictures, your plants are SOAKED. they are way too wet, even if you just watered them.

lay off the water and let them dry out. May have to wait as long as a week if the roots are really damaged.

learn how to read the soil dryness by lifting the pot or cup it is in every day. eventually you will know when it feels about 70% dry to water. lower the PH to 6-6.5. i'm sorry dude but you're gonna have poor looking plants if you dont get on the ph thing take it easy on the water ive had plant lookin Exactly like urs before.

oh and start using some kinda nutes now IDK shit bout organic ask ur hydro store guy he will hook u up but your veg plants need nutes too just like flowers

I am watering the soil every other day. I am also misting the leaves daily. I cant control the heat of the closet very well and I am finding that misting the leaves can help cool it off.
