ok guys these plants about about 12-14 days old from being sprouted from seed. these are auto flowers. the ph is 5.8 , the thing that im noticing that im a little worried about is that the way the leafs are warping/bending down.

hawk the reason i did not fill it out was cause i did not know if they looked ok or not .. just did not know if i was being the over crazy plant daddy making something out of nothing.
right now i have 525 watts of light running over each 3 plants. they are 600 watt bulbs but i have a 1000 watt ballast on boost mode for 1050 watts that has a splitter to two lights.
as for the stretching look... when i sprouted the seeds i put them in rock wool cubs and then put in a humidity dome under a cheap t-12 light and i think they did alot of stretch then.
when i put the plants under the mh lights i had it about 2-3 feet over it.... i raised the lights to about 4-5 feet over it cause i was figuring that the plants that looked all wilted might be over heated.
Hydro Growers:
1. Are you growing from seed or clones? seeds
2. How old are your plants? 10-14 days
3. How tall are your plants? couple inches
4. What type of hydro system are you using? dwc
5. What brand/type of nutrients are you using? a nock off brand of advanced nuits
6. What is the Ph of your nutrient solution? i been keep it at 5.8 when i checked it today the ph raised to 6.2 from a couple days ago. and i ph'ed it to 5.6 today
7. What is the PPM/EC of your tap water? around 100ish
8. What is the PPM/EC of your nutrient solution? its around 250ish right now
9. What is the temperature of your nutrient solution? the water is around 75-76 degrees
10. Does your PPM/EC show a rise or fall when you do your daily PPM check? did not check daily.
11. Does your pH show a rise or fall when you do your daily check? its been raising every couple days in less then a week i had to ph it down twice. and the roots have not even gone down into the water yet to feed off the nuits yet. so i find it weird that the ph had gone up twice
12. Do you foliar feed or spray your plants with anything? nothing
13. What kind of lights do you use and how many watts combined? (HPS, MH, fluorescent, halogen, incandescent "plant lights") i am running two 1000 watt ballast on boost mode that push 1050 watts that have spliters on them to two light that are 600 watt bulbs that are pushing 525 watts each.
14. How close are your lights to the plants? it wast about 3 feet from the the plants. but i just raised it to about 4-5 feet thinking that the plants leafs are wilting due to to much heat from the lights
15. What size is your grow space in square feet? its about 11.5 feet wide and 6.7 feet deep
16. What is the temperature and humidity in your grow space? the room is staying around 79-81 degrees with around 30-33% humidity
