, 1st time grow and i have no idea what my plant is doing
once healthy leaves are now turning a darker green and are very crispy/dry. it startsstarting from the tip of the leaf and has been working its way toward the stem.
light setup is 1 flouresent so far (waiting on another one to arrive) and a regular desk lamp (mainly for the heat it gives off) been using 20-20-20 nutrients, in vegetative stage and trying to keep it there for clones, i havent transplanted yet because of this issue
should i cut the crispy/dry part off?
trying to get a pic or two up but this is all i got for now
 
Sounds like nute lock u need less p and k with that ratio u should use at 1/4 strength I only organics what are u growing n try fish ferts 5-1-1 won't burn I use that with full line of earth juice and pro mix give me more info maybe I can save u time and money
 
I recently lowered my ratio I put in 1 teaspoon of the 20-20-20 miracle grow to about a half gallon of water and
i wet the soil when it looks too dry
I'll post pics of the plant tonight
 
MG big no no it a chemical it's burning ur plant are u using tap , what are u growing in? The fish ferts u can get at home depot 4 about 6 bucks what watt and kind of light are u using.they have 68 watt 300 watt equivalent bulbs 4 15 bucks work great 4 veg and flowering if ur on a buget I've used them 4 a few years 4 veg,mothers,and supplemental light during flowering.
 
Hi mate, how old is this plant were talking about roughly?? If its established then yeah ur probably got too much N, and may have caused lock-up? But if this is only fairly young plant then i'd suggest you may be over fertilising.. Flush her.. wait a week or so, and see if she bounces back, but under that lighting i couldnt really imagine much in the way of suitable lighting for her, instead of worrying about heating her with a desk lamp. put a decent CFL 6500k in there, and sit that closer to her, if your plant is at room temp, for the most part that temp should be adequate?? As posted b4, just get sum CFL"s to light her, you can buy twin socket extensions for 2 cfl's in one fitting, so lighting is fairly easy. Or you can just break your mums porcelain desk lamp and take the whole lighting wiring and socket out and hang that up! Thats how i first made my two cfl grow lamps!! lol.. Goodluk and Happy Harvesting;):thumb:
 
ok ill stop with the MG, i am useing tap, and im growing in a red solo cup, iv got 1 small flourescent at the moment its only about 15w so i know i need more light/different light.
the plant is about a month old, could this issue have started partly because i havent transplanted to a bigger pot?

there have been new leaves comming in that look very healthy, i gave her a very sligt N boost mixd with tap wter
again sry no pics, do i have to upload them to the gallary before i can post the pics in a thread?
 
U have to let tap sit so chlorine can evaporate I use tap with my earth juice because that what calls 4 but I bubble it 4 24hrs or more than I make a tea. Plus it has dissolved minerals try 2 collect rain water if possible.

Get a clamp light socket splitter and two (100 eq) cfls small fan if u don't have one already . Hang light over top some white poster board or display board to catch light ur plants not making ennoff food 4 it's self so it's feeding on its self.
 
root bound and to much nutes for what little soil you have replant her in the final size pot you want to grow in and dont feed for a couple weeks. just a geuss:goodluck:
 
Id transplant 2 bigger pot fresh soil water with plain water with a lil super thrive 4 stress and wait. If plants aren't healthy going into flowering it will effect ur finished buds. What are u growing in?
 
what do you got growin Bmore?:)
 
do you have a journal yet? mine is called got my feet wet now its time to dive in:)
 
No I had few written notes and pics that's about it. Started a written journal this go around bcuzz I've been working with seeds from my breeding and out of 31 seeds and almost 3 years this cross had what I wanted the kush is a heavy yielder and stinks like shit had to keep a mother. I'll b flowering in about 3 weeks 2 5 gal and 6 2 gal 4 of each.
