IM new to this game can u help

[smoketellidie]

this is my first time growing and i need help i dont know what is going on with the plant its turning brown and the leafs are drooping down can any help

[killerweed420]

That looks like mold. Make sure you have good circulation and the humidity isn't getting to high.

[commanderbill02]

hi there new to all this myself maybe i could get a bit of advice myself i germinated seeds in paper towels now they have sprouted and now in rockwool with the root dowmwards there in the propagator will i keep them there in darkness till they grow there first leaves?

[smoketellidie]

keep the soil warm and turn on the light and back to my thread this is what the is in the box i dont want my clone mother to die

[smoketellidie]

the plant was growing fine when i got it and it was healthy but i dont know where i when wrong

[alex6r]

how much are you watering and how much are you feeding? you could be burning with too much of something

[smoketellidie]

i just started feeding it all purpose plant food how often do a water the plant and about a cup of feeding is that ok how much do i need to give it lmk

[cornish_dope]

looks too young for nutes, also I notice you don't have any soil lighteners in your soil which helps .

[hudson88]

Stop the nutes for a start, the pot looks very big and wet, get a pot a little smaller so the plants roots can reach to most of the dirt and suck the water up, having parts of the soil that are always wet causes problems.

Check out stinky's http://boards.cannabis.com/grow-faqs/148236-why-should-i-re-pot-my-plant-why-not-put-seed-large-pot.html

That looks like general purpose soil? It could be causing problems too, get something thats better suited to mj, you can either buy a premixed bag at the hydro store/online or look on here for how to make your own with stuff you can pick up at the garden centre.

Good luck!

[smoketellidie]

so what is good soil and what kind is the best lmk and thanks for the info

[cornish_dope]

I make my own soil mix out of

1part manure
2 parts perlite
1 part top soil
1 part multi purpose compost
1part horticultural silver sand
you could always use something simpler that like 2/3 manure 1/3 perlite.

Or some bone meal and blood meal low/nute free compost and some perlite.

[stinkyattic]

Looks like you have not nearly enough lightener, if any, in your soil mix. You should always use soil with perlite or vermiculite in it, and when in doubt, too much perlite is far preferable to too little, lol.
That plant appears to be suffering too much water, possibly too much ertilizer
(impossible to say because you have given no information on its feeding or soil type), and possibly too low night temps. I see 'day' at 70'F, which is acceptable but cool, and if you are running down below ~68 or so at night, the combination of too wet, too cold, and too ferty is going to give you exactly what you are seeing. Keep your lights on 24/0 to stabilize your temps, drill more holes (largish ones, lik 1/2") in the pot, give it a good HEAVY watering with plain tap water to fluch out the nutes- you should get a whole mess of water running out the bottom of the pot- and then feed quite lightly with a cannabis-specific veg fert mixed weaker than recommended.

[cornish_dope]

you can buy ready mixed soils from your local hydro store but I find making your own is more satisfying

[smoketellidie]

for the soil im using miracle gro soil and miracle gro for fertilizer i just put the plant in a smaller pot the see if that will help cause i think the pot was to big some one said that the pot was to big so i just put it in a smaller pot

[justanotherbozo]

nice turn around dude. btw, how are you determining ripeness?
if you haven't got one, you should get a 30X hand-held microscope
check Radio Shack, about $15.00 - $20.00 USD

anyway, good job, i think that you'll find that the sweetest buds of all
are the ones you grow yourself

[smoketellidie]

ya i will look for one be i cant wait for my frist time i think i did a good job

[justanotherbozo]
