Please help with any advise this is my first grow, I have done a lot of research but nothing beats experience right. Well here's the pics.
i had the same problem with mine when they started. its probably not the cubes. its more than likely the lights being too far away. get the lights as close as they can handle. usually 2 inches is a good rule of thumb with cfls. and a fan blowing helps alot
