Hello all... brand new grower here and I think I made a booboo but not sure...would really appreciate some insight as I've been a lurker for quite some time

Here's my setup...

-Northern lights auto (Vision seeds)
-Dual compartment on wheels grow cabinet I built (2) 2x3 spaces
-T5 lights and LED (not using led right now just t5's)
growing on level one right now under four 6500 lumen t5's
-5 liter (1.25 gal) hempy bucket setup (75% perlite [rinsed] 25% verm
poland spring water (6.5 ph or so)
-Temps 77-81 degrees - humidity 40-50 nighttime temps down to 69-72 humidity in the 30's
-6" fan blowing over the t5's phresh filter and 190 cfm fan thats only on at night for 6 hours to keep dark and very low power (i have a fan speed dial)
-No nutrients yet other than the great white root enhancer i used when I planted the seed.
-I water them lighty every other night but one of them seemed very dark green and swollen so I thought I overwatered. But now 3 days later after next to no watering because of my fear they are now 7 days from poking their heads out of the medium and the leaves around the edges of 4 of them are lightening and cupping slightly but two of them the leaves are turning ashy at the tips light brown burnt look .....wht am i doing wrong???

Cannabis plants leaves will typically "cup" when they are dry (air or medium) and in need of water. If a fan is blowing on leaves too hard that have plenty of water and nutes, they will still cup.
As for the brown edging, thats usually a sign of nute burn but you said you havent used any nutes aside from the great white root enhancer you used. How much did you use and how did you use it?
 
I would give your girls some water, not alot but enough. Also if you notice the fan leaves are fading into a yellow they are hungry for nutes, particularly Nitrogen in the veg stage. I would slowly start introducing them to a nutrient schedule.

You were right they need water and nutes.....they are in hempy cups/buckets so I water until it runs out the hempy hole. After FULL nutes and a good watering it has fixed the problems :)

thanks for the replies :) in hempy it looks like I have to start nutes sooner because the medium is completly inert.

Your exactly right, make sure to go easy on the nutes as with hempy grows there are little to no buffer zone between your plants and nutes. Im happy you figured it out. Looking good :bravo:
 
Nice cabinet! Doesnt look like youve got too much room in the flowering area. How tall is that?
Also, I see you have the DX water bottle humidifier. How is it working?

Well it's a 3 room cab I built from scratch after alot of research for the last year planning my first grow.....I also built a second mini cab you see here

oh as far as the specs its 3 ft tall on the bottom and 3.7 ft on top ....im growing mostly autos and scrogging so my plants will max out at 2 feet max .....the satechi humidifier thing works great it keeps a little extra moisture in the air and the girls seem to like it....no curling or dryness
 
Everything looks great from here. Seriously nice job on the cabinet. Is the space on the right for a mother?

well I built the third section for mothr/clone/seedings or whatever Im doing at the time also a sexing area where i can go 12/12 without disturbing the 18/6 auto areas..
 
Updated pics of the girls...... 6 Northern Lights Auto and One Hawaiian Skunk Haze Regular (hope its a girl)

These are NL auto Day 42
