Looks like you're growing string beans. pinch.gif

Sounds and looks like its a little nutrient overwhelmed. Raise the lights a few inches for safety.. and flush them with regular water for a week and see if you have any improvement. Use the wet/dry technique and hope for the best mate! They should come back, these plants are tougher than I give them credit for.

tanks for your quick reply as i only get till 3 15 to do this before the kids get out of school

yes they do a it

i have only ever grown in coco with no problems to solve so just to confirm when you say flush im thinking a couple of litre a pot water from the top of pot and dispose of the waste then just water when the soil looks like its going to start to come away from the pot

Sounds good to me mate! Water when the soil is dry, but not when its starting to come away from the pot.. that could damage the roots and we wouldn't want that! Stick your finger in up past your fingernail.. if its dry.. water... if you can feel it damp when your finger is in the soil.. give it a little longer. Best of luck.. cool.gif
