You could do the 'cup thing. I've seen that work however a cheep' 40 dollar ultrasonic fogger from K Mart or any other 'Mart' will not only keep the room nice for clones but sweet for early veg. True ultra fine mist (2-5 Microns is what you want) will make the younguns' shine with the proper food and environment.

Like H Raizer says though there might be more going on there. Dial everything in as well as the environment. RH is just one issue for sure here. Low RH makes my new starts wilt. Overfeeding will make them look like yours. Combine the two and throw in too much light too soon and I believe you get those kind of messed up leaves....lockout and so on

Heck you might have some disease in that space..hard to tell for sure from just internet pics..

ok..thanks for the cup suggestion...already bought the fogger but you can never have enough info and techniques...

all the plants have rebounded after 2 days of switching to the 18 hour light cycle and lowering the power on the circulation fans...the new growth is looking really nice so far...

i have great drainage on the pots...none of the pots sit flat...they all have little legs in each corner that makes the middle bottom have an inch of clearance from the tray...the tray also has a slight lean towards the middle and front so excess water doesnt pool under the pots

plan on updating the journal today with this and more pics...thanks again all!!!!

i hear ya...but overfeeding isnt possible, because they have yet to be fed...humidity was the main problem, but im pretty sure the little gals appreciate the extra rest time you suggested...the girls just needed some beauty sleep

I've to seen 'over feeding' with too wet a transplant mix. If you add too much water to the new soil mix in the bigger buckets they could 'drown' the new roots and then do nothing....the pot will stay wet (even though you haven't officially watered) and they eventually could turn yellow. Hopefully you didn't do this. Good to see they have snapped out of it though.

Nothing like some down time to help sick girls. I go 16 these days even with healthy ones. I just hate to see that late cycle 'droop'. Seems like they aren't doing anything in the last hours anyway even if they are healthy.....all droopy and ready for nappy time. Drooping plants depress me Saves me a bit of $$ too

Ultrasonic Fog rocks. I've got 3. 2 small ones and a big homemade one for the main room. Fog has saved me in this dry hell of a climate I live in (22 % average year round). Once I added fog to the veg room I've had only super green starts....look like my starts on the coast days. It also help the flower room to grow bigger.

For awhile I used to wonder why my plants were bigger/healthier indoors on the coast. For the 2 years I've been here I was doing EXACTLY the same thing yet I would get about 2/3 of the growth They would look sick with dry and thin leaves...an invitation for a bug party. I was in total denial concerning RH. RH is huge just as all the other environmental conditions.

check out the grow journal for an update after SkwirlGirl's suggestion of light cycle switch to 18/6...installing the fogger today...

all the little guys have made an amazing recovery...check the journal (link in sig) to peep
