Thanks Giles.

I was having some over drainage/over watering issues earlier. Back when everything was in smaller pots I had them placed in a tray specially built to hold 18 of the small pots. Unfortunately, while the cups had great drainage, the tray itself was collecting water at the bottom of the pots. I'm guessing root rot was growing at the drainage holes of the cup because something that looked like spider webs was covering the holes. So, I took the ones that were showing mold/rot and transplanted them up into larger pots and threw the old cups in the trash along with the tray.

So that's why some of the plants are in larger pots.

I did give all the plants a good Neem Oil soaking earlier this week. All kinds of bugs were coming into the HydroHut from the basement including cockroaches and small black beetles. And the Sweet Tooth had some sort of aphid/mite problem. So the plants were sprayed down with Neem Oil, and I gave the soil a good soaking too.

The yellowing plants are really starting to nag at me. It hasn't become a serious problem yet, but the plants haven't grown much in the past week which worries me some.

I almost think it could be a nutrient deficiency. A few charts I've looked at makes me think it could be Zinc or Manganese. So tomorrow I might give them a very weak grow/bloom foilar feeding.

Stay tuned - flower room construction will be taking place next week. I'm thinking of splitting my 14x11' room into two separate flowering rooms, each with a 400w and 600w.
