Don't know what the problem is. Bbk was very small and then the browning started. After switch I noticed the Zkittles browning as well. There are small spots on other plants. I turned the dimmer down. The Zkittles kinda looks hungry to me. I am considering topping off all plants with a bit of FFOF. Someone please help

Here's a better pic with Zkittles on the right
I think your ph may be off looking at plant on right. I’m nobody tho. So I’d wait to see what people say. I always start very little light and slowly increase , first sign of stress I raise light and dim a hair and it usually pans out. Make sure your not drowning them or even worse drying out.

I wouldn’t give them anything but ph’d water at this stage. Your medium should have what they need in it already.

Thanks. Here's a pic of all the girls. Will empty mister bottle with recharge and use only water. Maybe the ph of the recharge was a problem. No idea cuz I don't ph. Solos have fresh soil and pots are on their 3rd run ( Earthbox is new soil as well).

I’d buy a ph pen. It’s actually a key tool. I don’t give my plants nothing without ph’ing first. I suggest the aphera pen that comes with kit. Simple to use and easy to calibrate on the fly. Seedling require very little water. You want it to damn near dry out but not. You will get quicker growth. And not every plant needs water at same time.

Been slow growing in general. I think my problems are/were environmental. Light intensity/distance, temperature.
Things look better. There was a WC looking horrible and she seems happy now. The BBK looks like a small version of what a seedling should be and the Zkittles is growing.
Yesterday I watered the big pots and top dressed the earthbox with 444 and bokashi.

Initially the plan was to flower the clones while the seedlings veg. Now I think I will flower everything. I will clone all of em and flower at about a foot tall. This will allow me to select 2 keepers. Solo cups don't need to be root bound to up pot but I do need time for all to grow. I'm hoping that I can transplant in 2-3 weeks, and flip 1-2 weeks later. Any suggestions?

Wednesday morning the clones were sprayed again.

Afternoon top dressed EB with 6-8-4, ewc and bokashi. Gray fabric without plastic wrap got same mix and cover crop cut. Watered both, as well as the 20g and the plastic pot on the left. Been bottom watering the 20g. Top is for any/all mixes, bottom pure water. Watering 20g like the EB. Considering 3 20g to replace the 6 10g for next run. Less pots same volume of soil and I feel better about watering the 20s like the EB. I think tent can fit 4 20s and 2-3 EBs.

Clones moved to finishing tent. Adjusting. Noticed some yellowing on clone fan leafs. Not sure, will pay close attention.
Seedlings seem much happier, it was too cold before adding the space heater, they are growing.

Pics are 1. Wednesday 2. Thursday 3. Seedling growth

Chopped and dropped, fed same as above and watered final 4 10s. Added some chopped cover crop to EB in preparation of covering.

Considering keeping 2 of the Maroon Baboon clones in veg while cloning the seedlings. Removing 2 plants will mean the EB and 1 of the 10s, or 2 of the 10s, will have solo plants. Not sure how viable cloning will be with my SOG plan, wanting to flip at 12"-18"...

Things could be better.
I am happy with the way things are moving.
Grateful for the opportunity!
Still learning patience.

Weather update: Been really cold and wet here in the Bay. We need the rain. Temperatures in the 40s we don't need. Orchids blooming in December for the 2nd year in a row.

Growing up in the 70s-80s we used to get rain from September till May, and occasional summer showers. Nowadays we get NONE. I am 52. Doesn't seem old enough to witness such a drastic change. Lol. It is a half a century though.
