My sick little plants

Well, I think I really jumped the gun on things. I originally started the seeds not expecting them to really sprout, but sprout they did.

First started them off stupidly in some peat pots with some seed starter soil that obviously had some ferts in it (bad idea, i know now). They grew ok in them for a while, but I've since pulled most out of the pots and dropped them in some coco coir. I have also been using a very diluted hydrofuel solution as per the feeding charts that were at the store. Previous to grabbing the chart, I think I also over fed them once (1/2 strength when it should have been like 1/10).

They are in a 4.5x4.5x7 Tent under a 600 Watt HPS. I think the temps were getting a bit high, so I raised the light to see if that would help.

I've attached some photos, but I will try and see about taking some more with compensation for the HPS lighting.

I noticed a few aphids also, not many, about 4-5 mainly on one plant. I've kept an eye on it so far and kill them as I see them. I haven't had to kill more then 2 or 3 at a time, so I haven't used any chemicals yet.

My assumption is that they are burnt, and burnt bad... Hopefully I can make them come back to life, else I guess I will grab some rockwool and go full hydro and finish my last bubbler buckets. I was just going to use these ones as mothers for clones as they are seeds I had given to me.

I'll get some properly coloured photos
