I always like starting with the obvious! What’s your soil there? Looks like a lot of bark in the mix… soil also looks like it’s missing some good aeration!
Edit: the bottle picture states: good for flowering which would led to higher phosphorus and potassium inputs not sure at this point you should be feeding with this product at this point in the veg cycle!
Ty for letting us know… we spoke and he measured between the light and the plants and it’s slightly over a foot. Also, he does not have a thermometer for heat or humidity, that will be purchased soon. Also, he had seen a few nat looking kind of bugs. Here are a couple pics we took . Hope they help.
Put your hand at canopy level and if it warms up pretty good your way to close! What kind of lights u running?
yes flowering nutrients have less nitrogen, could be slightly N deficient. grab some MEGACROP it’s a complete 1 part nutrient specially formulated for cannabis and you can also get a 230g bag FREE just pay shipping. my plants love it… for beginner growing i think 1 part nutrients are the easiest, and cheapest, K.I.S.S. right!
I’ve looked at Megacrop before. I would think it would grow some good product.
apparently the company started out by knocking off everyone elses lines like they had the AN line, GH line, H&G etc and like 40 different products, now they just want to sell 1 fully complete product
With our plants, we are curious if using the florescent lighting pictured, verses the other lighting in this pic is better for growth, or ate they both about equal?
i think you want those fluoros closer to the little guys, i’ve never used them myself… and it really depends on the wattage or lumen output of the 2 lights

I’m going to be upfront and honest here! The problem I believe isn’t from the lights you are using, one can veg cannabis under CFL’s or even cheap Chinese LEDS , your soil IMO needs help first and foremost here! As stated earlier it doesn’t look the greatest, needs aeration, has lots of bark in it , your ph could be off thus causing , lockout of using poor soil, of the much needed macro and micronutrients! If I were you in trying to save these plants I would immediately change out the potting soil or make your own with peat,aeration ( your choice) and worm castings or compost at a 1:1:1 ratio and go from there! For what it’s worth you probably won’t be happy with the end product if you use weak lights. I was in the same position and thought I could get decent colas from LEDS inside not the case ! They just turned out being little popcorn buds not hardly worth trimming all light and fluffy! Hope this helps and good luck with your grow!
those appear to be t8’s?? if you could tell us the wattage and T rating. for a standard T8 you want to be about 2-6 inches away. I agree with the above post that you need to do something about your potting medium. does`t appear to have perlite. you will have to be really careful not to overwater.
I would agree that soil is likely the culprit, again there are many choices. DO NOT use any pre-packaged potting soil that has the phrase " feeds for X months" those products have some form of time release fertilizer that WILL ABSOLUTELY And POSITIVELY wreck your plants.
I mix my own soil, equal parts of clean topsoil and peat 1/2 bag mushroom compost, 1 bag of perlite. Avoid using municipal mulches too much pine and pine bark too much ground up plywood, tree bark is no good for soil mix avoid topsoil that has lots of bark or clay soil content
See my FAQ candidate about soil testing for pH and NPK
Honestly they look like they need more light and may even more aeration of the medium w perlite or something
Those are just my guesses but they’re just guesses. Need to know more about what your grow medium consists of and if you’re mixing and liquid nutes into your water. What’s your whole set up? Lights? Hours of light? Nutes and medium?
Will try to help best I can.
