I have 9 baby seedling range from 2 weeks to 3 weeks old . I would post a picture of my ladies in a hour or so from this post . But , i am not sure of why my plants curled up like it’s sun burned or looks as if it’s nutrients burn . I waited until the 3rd week to feed them the nutrients as it claimed i can feed them at the age my plants are on the FF site . I also have them in my back yard the same place they sprouted out the at . I never had them outdoor . I did the whole thing using outdoor and sunlight . I moved my ladies to a more shady area . I was thinking they had sun burn cause the weather been 100 degrees here in Cali. I am wondering if i shouldn’t have fed them nutrients yet . Or did i give them to much . I gave them the amount of dosage it said on the FF site then i seen the defiency i gave them half of what it said on the next feeding . But my plants still looks as if they are get nutrients burn or sun burn . Should i stop watering with nutrients and just ph down the water ? Should i keep them in the sunlight or shady area ? I also added a substance to help my lul females i don’t know if they might of made a difference also . I don’t have the name on top of my head but i can report it back when i do

Got to post pics man, 2-3 weeks from sprout could be a 4 node 5" plant or 8 node 10" plant.

Age is just about the last thing you want to go by when feeding young plants with solubles, the size of pot,type of soil & growth speed of plant matter just as, if not more than age.

I use hydro mix . Here is my nutrients I been using along with my ph and down . I been having the ph level at yellow . I am not sure if my nutrients is affecting it or was it the hot days I had .

Could be nute burn or the roots getting cooked from the intense sun beating on the pots. What kind of soil is that? Looks saturated. Also the cups appear to be translucent. Put another cup around them. Roots and sunlight do not get along.

I am using hydro soil mix and should i just water with regular ph water without nut until they are better ? Also should i place them back in better sunlight or keep them n low level light

Looks like sunburn, after what happened to me I'd shade them a few more days. I had 3 get roasted by the sun this year, 2 I chopped cause I wanted to clone a couple of my nicer girls, 1 I left for the hell of it and it literally did nothing for a month before all of a sudden bushing back up but it's still wee compared to her sisters. Too I barely watered mine in that state cause they aren't gonna drink much. Go by the soil, just don't let it completely dry till shes back on her feet.

Yeah just try to let the soil dry out a bit but not bone dry. And also maybe start with just plain water next feeding and then 1/4 strength nute solution the next feeding and then 1/2 strength feeding the next and so on until you find the sweet spot for them. But really make sure to at least put some construction paper or something around those translucent cups.
