These pics are day 17 after putting seeds in rockwool and transplanting to coco.
It's my first grow, I'm pretty sure I have optimal conditions for temperature, humidity and airflow. I have good feminized seeds and my ac is turned on 24/7 because of the hot climate where I live in. Most of the plants look yellowish and leaves are curving down. They appear unhealthy but it's hard to judge cause I'm a newb. Some strains seem to take it better than others like the 2 last pictures (pineapple chunk). I also tried different lighting for pictures to compare.

Here are 5 possible reasons where I think I could have messed up:
- The coco I used was cheap stuff that I found in a flower shop. I was in a hurry to transplant and I didn't read enough about coco (washing, buffering). I remember seeing dust while I was pouring perlite into the coco and even if I thought that this didn't look right, I still transplanted the rockwool seedlings into it. I wish I could have read what I learned beforehand and wash everything + add some cal/mag.
- My light is a Mars Hydro FC-E8000 (800w) and I used it at 25% the first 10 days of sprout. I'm not sure if it was too strong or maybe even not enough. I then dimmed it to 50% on day 11 after transplanting (cheap lux meter was reading 40k) and I bumped it to 60% (55k) on day 16. Around 30cm (12") under the light.
- I fed them a bit of cal/mag + AB on the first feed at day 14. I realized that i didn't buffer the coco with calmag at the beginning so I thought that adding a bit of it in the first feed would be good. I also read that feeding them too early is bad so this is a bit confusing. I fed them for the second time yesterday (day 16) with only AB.
- Watering times are also confusing. It seems like some people water twice a day and some people treat it like soil and wait for it to be dry. I chose every other day until i set up an auto watering system. I waited 3 days sometimes to let the roots grow, but not sure if I might have waited too long.
- I don't have a PPM meter and I am using tap water with a filter. The filter was from the previous tenants so I don't know if it's still doing a good job at filtering or if I should change it.
Please let me know what you think,
Thanks!

Here are 5 possible reasons where I think I could have messed up:
- The coco I used was cheap stuff that I found in a flower shop. I was in a hurry to transplant and I didn't read enough about coco (washing, buffering). I remember seeing dust while I was pouring perlite into the coco and even if I thought that this didn't look right, I still transplanted the rockwool seedlings into it.

- My light is a Mars Hydro FC-E8000 (800w) and I used it at 25% the first 10 days of sprout. I'm not sure if it was too strong or maybe even not enough. I then dimmed it to 50% on day 11 after transplanting (cheap lux meter was reading 40k) and I bumped it to 60% (55k) on day 16. Around 30cm (12") under the light.
- I fed them a bit of cal/mag + AB on the first feed at day 14. I realized that i didn't buffer the coco with calmag at the beginning so I thought that adding a bit of it in the first feed would be good. I also read that feeding them too early is bad so this is a bit confusing. I fed them for the second time yesterday (day 16) with only AB.
- Watering times are also confusing. It seems like some people water twice a day and some people treat it like soil and wait for it to be dry. I chose every other day until i set up an auto watering system. I waited 3 days sometimes to let the roots grow, but not sure if I might have waited too long.
- I don't have a PPM meter and I am using tap water with a filter. The filter was from the previous tenants so I don't know if it's still doing a good job at filtering or if I should change it.
