Re: Homemade grow-box. First grow ever!
ok bud heres my 2 cents, it looks like over watering (number1 killer of plants buy new growers) let it dry out a bit only water when the top inch of your soil is dry and or the pot feels light, use the lift technique to feel when your pot is getting light also lift when its full so you know how that feels too, i recommend you get the 23 watt daylight 6500k cfl's(150watt equalavent) the ones your using look like the soft white 2700k, the daylight are better for short compact plants and reduce stretching, the soft white 2700k are good for the flower stage but not absolutely necessary and keep them as close as possible and even on all sides of the plant to get lots of light sources and eliminate shadows ,when you start using fertilizer start with only 1/4 the amount the package states, and try to get a ph tester ,it also looks like ph may be an issue, and a thermometer is an absolute must overheating is also a big killer, hope this helps, remember less is more

Salty,
What are you using for soil? It's hard to tell from the pictures.
Also, what are you using to fertilize the plant? People here can give you some excellent advice, but you have to supply some details.

Hey salty2 nice job on the diy!+ reps Listen to those guys and study hard, study long.
some soils have chemical nutes that feed plants up to 6 months and adding additional nutes can really burn small plants and def dont fertilize for at least two week even if its just soil with no nutes in them. Like they said we need more info to help out.

Easy salty2, Im in, like the cool box. Are you feeding your plants? Because if you are, stop! the soil will have enough for a few weeks. It's just the ends are going yellow. This shouldn't be happening at this stage, or any if done correctly.
