What's up guys , I am new to growing and I have some concerns about my plants . I bought 4 clones and transplanted them into 3 gallon plastic pots with some coco soil I bought from the local hydro store . When I first transplanted the clones they seemed to be more perky than they are now . At first I had them under 200 watt led lights I bought from Home Depot . But 2 days ago I bought a 400 watt hps thinking this would be good for them . I thought they would be more awake than they are , do they look ok ? I'll post pictures . Thanks !IMG_0349.JPGIMG_0349.JPG IMG_0349.JPG

they appear hungry to me. what do you feed them? stop mutilating your leaves man, thats just cruel
I don't really know what to do . I have gave them bottled water only . Not too much tho . When I transplanted them I put 1 bottle of water per pot , then I gave them each a half bottle of water 3 days later . The soil feels damp.

theres likely little to no food in your soil. I suggest a botanicare line, like their organic crumbles or liquid fertilizers, follow directions from there. read a grow bible, free online google it. dont water until pot is light, then water thoroughly when its dry.

IMG_0351.JPGThe led lights I bought are from Home Depot and I didn't think they were good enough , so I bought this 400 watt hps . The led lights don't get light around all 4 plants , I could only get light directly on top of 2 plants with the led. They are just bulbs from Home Depot. Thanks for the reply .

That's better :)

Coco has no nutrients you will need to add to water to feed your clones. 1/4 dose to start...ph at 5.8 ;)

With mh or hps id run it 18 hrs on and 6 off for veg. ;)

I run my t5s 24 hrs a day 7 days a week.
cfls can stay on for veg 24/7 as well.
