Seedlings closing up

[mcsweezer]

first post, hello everyone, i have six plants growing right now in foxfarm soil, temp at 75, under 123 watts of cfl,ph at 5.8 they were growing out and full, but when i changed the lighting the two large ones started to close up, not sure if that is normal or not, but any suggestions? thank you
the pictures are in my gallery but its not letting me post them

How big are these plants how old are they?

pH is off; this is your water pH going into the plant or pH coming out of the plant?
What are you using for pH?

Either way I hope that is not the pH run off, cause if it is' it's way off!

Most seedlings can't take fox farm soils.... is it ocean forest?


Move those CFL's up a bit they are too close...... don't need to be that close.

Normally they do that when they are happy; but not like that; they look like cabbage patch dolls in a patch or something......

Move the lights up I would
they almost look like they are trying to protect themselves from the amount of lighting......

what is the sq footage of your grow space?

yes it is ocean forest, i moved the lights further away, i will check ph of the water tomorrow, and it is two weeks in today.
this is just a small alcove in a bookshelf, for vegging only, i plan to move them to a 400watt hps i have set up in a nearby closet.
thanks for your insight dude

Your little ones are in shock, take a tin clear plastic sandwich bag, cut a finger size hole in one corner, place the baggie over the plant (corner with hole facing away from the lights). You can mist them with 6.0ph water 3 times a day.

this is the most helpful forum i have ever posted on, two hours later with the bag over them, they are already starting to open up. Thank you

the two i was having problems with before are still giving me some problems, im not sure if the soil is burning them, or too little of N or K

looks like n to me but im not really sure, starting with the old growth at the tips its going brown and then progressing into yellow toward the stem.
