hey i looked at the guide to sick plants but have to admit i must not know too much b-cuz alot of the pics look too similar. i will have digi pics l8r but for now let me first ask. i have 4 kids in my nursery 1 khola(feminized), 1 bb/nl, 1 that was in a mix of either bb, bubblegum, ak-47, or sweet tooth., and 1 that is the bb/nl that had already started to flower but i am reverting it back to veg. it was only 2 weeks into flower. the first three are from seed and unsexed, and the last is from a clone. i had them under 800w of compact flouro and yesterday put in a 1000w hps agromax w/ a vented reflector. by the way these are in soil and i am using floranova grow. my problem is that the khola and the mystery strain seem ok aside from a little tip burn and curl down. bb/nl on the other hand the big fan leaves are really droopy and darker green than normal. there are 8 nodes? up the stem and these are the larger top fan leaves. any suggestions greatly appreciated.

mild over feeding would be my guess, young plants in fresh soil, cuttings, plants reverting to veg period, don't need much food, and fresh soil has plenty. overwatering will release more of the nutes in the soil. Flushing will rinse out the nutes but then the remaining soil will have been rinsed of most of it's goodness. Let them dry out a bit, and then water lightly for a while, then increase the watering until you can't resist feeding them again. During the next week, keep a slightly larger distance between the plants and the light. This will encourage them to use up any extra nutes in a spurty growth.

I think that the change from flouros to Hps might have been the problem. How high is yuor light from the plants? Put your hand on top of the plants for 10 to 15 secinds and if you can't keep it there your lights are to close. Remember if you move your plants from indoor to outdoor you have to ween them ( sorry for spelling) to the intense natural sun light same with moving them from flouros to HIDS. Post some pics so everyone can Help.

Good luck
