Im going to be posting a few pics of my DP Power Plant in R/W... These are already 2 weeks in Veg. Didnt take pics from germ.

Here are the basics..

- These are 12 days into Veg from seed.
- They were given nothing but water for the first 8 days
- I started to give them a nute solution using the Lucas forumla (GH 3 part) - with R/O water PH'd @ 6.0 and PPM set at about 800
- They are being vegged under 4 x 54w Cool White T5's

The first pic is the plant that is drooping.. My guess is its overwatered.

Pic #2 and #3 show the nute burn

Pic #4 is the runt...

I think I went to heavy on the nutes (a little to eary for 800 ppm).. So I flushed the plants with some ph'd water. And will feed the next day @ about 400 ppm...

The runt and drooping one Im at a loss...

u dont think they are too young to give them a heavy feeding like I did?
 
I would hold off on the nutes until they are at least another week or so older.. I think they are too young for such a dose of nutes at such a young age. When you do start the ferts, I would start them at maybe 1/4 strength and gradually add on to that as they age. Other than that, sounds like you got it under control. Good luck and good growing my friend...Grow it big
 
So Im updating my journal its been 5 days??...... and I think the plants have grown alot actually (my first grow so I dont know if this is good for 5 days or not)....

But the lower leaves I was worried about nute burn.. So I flushed them.. but since they grew so well yesterday I bumped it back up to 600 ppm... I also mixed the R/O with tap as I was looking at one of the plants and looked like there might have been a mag deficiency.. If you can see one of the pics.. the leaves look bleached out a little.. not sure if it was light bleaching or just a mag def.

Either way... the new leaves lok great.. A few pics show the bottom leaves and the reddish-orange burn marks...

Not sure if it was nute burn or a nute lockout due to PH... but the new growth is coming along fine and I havent tested the runoff PH or PPM yet....

Sorry about the horrible pic quality , im only working with a phone cam
