How am I doing?

What's up? Thanks for checkin out my thread.

I have 2 NL x Skunk and 2 Blueberry Skunk plants going right now. I also have 3 more NL x Skunk seeds germinating as well as 3 Hashplant seeds. The plants are a few weeks old, growing kinda slow. They're under a 600w HPS as well as 3 CFL's for side lighting.

I fed the plants 1/4 strength Grow Big a week ago, definitely too early. I burned them a little bit so I flushed them and they got a little bit better, but the bottom leaves are still yellow. PH is 6.7-6.9.

Temps stay in the high 70's to mid 80's.

So how does everything look? I know they should be bigger but they look okay.

they look like they'll survive. how often do you water them?? and dont worry about the size once they get healthy again they should start to grow at a fare pace.

I water them about every 4 or 5 days.
Should I be using straight tap water left out for 24 hours or is it better to use a water filter like Britta or something like that?
Thanks

they look like they just got shocked to hell. im sure they will survive. filtered water would be the best but dont give it to them cold. let it get to room temp befor watering or it will shock them too.

lol, they look a bit worse in the pics than in real life. How often should the soil be dry for until I water again?

Okay thanks. With my last grow I had an overwatering problem that slowed growth so I'm cautious not to do the same thing again.
Any tips to speed up growth and un-shock them?
thanks

cant help you there.. when mine are that old i usually just water them normally and they should come out of shock soon hopefully.

Alright, I'm going to water them in the morning.
When should I start using nutes again? A week? Two?
Thanks for the help guys!

with seedlings like those its hard to tell. i water seedlings 2 times a day, once in the morning and once at night. but i use smaller pots till they get bigger and that will make it dry out faster. i would say just check it regularly and whenever you notice that the soil is getting dry water it.

Damn, they're still growing really slowly:sad: I was hoping to have already taken clones by this point and soon start flowering. I guess this is going to take a few more weeks than I wanted it to.
What am I doing wrong?
Here are the pics from today

the new growth is really nice and green. Only the bottom leaves are yellow. I wish the photos were better because they don't look all that bad. I do have new seedling that just started to pop out of dirt today though.
