and in a second look,,,your soil looks soaked...i think your feeding to much water while watering..i would let that dry up and next time you water use half as much..you mite end up watering them more often but with less water..

i just finished watering before picture... i think you guys are right im gunna barely water next time but more frequent if needed. What i do is i have a juice jug that i measure my ph in (pure water no nutriants yet) and my ph level is between 5.95-6.05 then i pretty much hold the pot and water all around the soil and i feel each pot and once i feel abit of wieght i move on to the next one! im useing a 400w metal halide bulb with an air cooled reflecter and a 4inch vortex and the lights about 28 inches from top of plant and tempature is about 81.0 BUT before i had a bare bulb reflector and temps where 91.2 and i thought temps would hurt my babies so i went and bought the cool reflector and ever since its like iv bin experiencing problems!?!?!? this is my first grow and i really hope i dont mess it up not to mention i pais $140 on these 5 femalized seeds!!!

To me it looks like for one they are over watered by the looks of the droopy leaves. Then to answer the brown spots first I need to know what kind of soil your in? Do you know your runoff ph? To me it looks like a pH problem. What kind or water are you using? Ro or tap or well or other? What ph is the water you are watering with. Should be about 6.5. Your runoff should be okay as long as its between about 5.9-6.8 but best would be 6.5. Now you didnt give them food yet right? They look way too young for that. What are your temps and lighting also. Im kinda new to the forum but i'll try to help ya out.

Sorry man didnt see the second page. Im pretty sure its your ph. So what kind of water it it you use first. And for sure change your ph going in to 6.5 for sure and that will help allot. Then let them dry out before you water. Fill an empty cup with your dirt and when the plants you have watered are as light as that cup with just the dirt then water again. Im thinking it will be about 3 days or so. When you water just add a little at a time until it barley drips out the bottom. Im pretty sure you will see a big change my friend.

wait til it dries out, get a bottle of SUPERTHRIVE. 8 drops/gal. (i usually only need a 2 drops/32oz. mix) works great for sick plants. while you're at it, hit em all with it. only use once per plant per cycle.

Super thrive does work great for root development in veg. But I wouldn't recommend it for in flower because it no good for bud production.

If your using just plain RO water then you need to add camg to it. It should be about 150ppm after you add your camg. You add about 1/2 tsp to a gallon and that should do it. And you MUST add this to RO everytime you water because RO water filters it out and it needs to be there for your plants. So feeding or just watering you must add camg supplement all the time. Do this and what else I said and it will turn around fast. Dont worry they are in soil so they will be fine. When you water do just like I said also. Just until it drips out the bottom....then totally dry like your dry dirt cup.....about 3 days. And what about your soil?? what kind? what is the runoff PH??
