Brown leaves

[stoned88911]

Ok i cant post a pic so i know its going to be difficult for some one to diagnoss.

Ok so on one of my plants(only about 2 weeks old) a couple leaves are turning brown around the edges of the plant, only thing i can think of i could be doing wrong is the soil being to moist,i only watered these plants once but there taking forever to dry out, any ideas or sujestions about plants turning brown on edges of leaves

Also i have one plant that has 2 white spots on it the size of a pen point any ideas?

oops noticed ive been typing leaves instead of leafs(edit)

Leaves is the correct plural of leaf.
You gotta give more info- there's a troubleshooting form to fill out. What is the soil? That's the most important bit. But fill out the whole thing.

[sirruler]

if you can provide any pics of your plant/s then maybe some general info about your setup would get you more responces from the peeps on here. its a bit like saying my car is broken what do you think it could be?
we'd need to know as much info as you can provide such as your grow medium, chemicals used, light setup, watering...

btw no plant likes to be sat in soaking wet soil unless its a bog plant so make sure the put has sufficiant drainage, if the plant is still boggy then i'd suggest repotting it fast into another pot with soil that is just moist but be careful with the roots.

Ok so im using 3 75 watt fluros about 2 inches away from plant(hps will be here tomarrow) im using regular miraclegrow poting mix, i havent used any chemicals yet.

I will go look for my camera but its some where in a box.

Whole form please, but I can tell you that MG soil has a lot of fertilizer in it and is the most likely reason why your plants have tip burn. Never give ferts to platns less than 5 nodes old.

Not to be rude, but do you purposefully ignore the most important requests when people are trying to help you with your problem?

Yes MG soil is bad.. yes it is probably causing your problem.. and YES there could be a multitude of other things adding to this that would just continue to give you problems unless you address them; However you will never know because instead of following proper procedure to get your problem answered on here you just take what you need and filter out the rest.

FILL OUT THE FORM... IT IS IMPORTANT.

Unless you don't care about your plants or care to learn what is good and what is bad.

I am not trying to be rude or ignore something, i am very busy atm and im trying to multitask

I do not see this "form" i need to fill out , where is it at.

If u think its fert burn, what do u think i should do to fix that problem.

There's two links at the top of this forum section.
One is called a troubleshooting form.
The other is called flushing to correct lockouts.
You will find them both helpful.

You've made 4 posts in the last hour... seems you would have 10 minutes to fill out as much of the form as possible WHICH is posted at the very top of the plant problem forums

Here is a direct link for you:

I see 2 things:
Your soil- MG is hard to grow cannabis with.
Your water- unless you KNOW your tap water is like the worst ever, use it. Distilled water is not good for plants unless you add calmag to it.
Give a heavy watering, to the point of runoff, with plain tap water at pH 7. Most tap water is about pH 7 anyway so if you can't test it, oh well.
Remember that when you are not running by the numbers, you have to keep up with soil chemistry by occasionally flushing your plants and then re-potting them into a SLIGHTLY larger container filled with fresh, unfertilized soil.

[stoned88911]

what kind of soil would u recomend,i am going to switch to my rain barrel water. what im doing now is more a trial and error for when my ordered seeds and hps get here, any other recomendations u would give for the rest of this grow or my next one.


Thanks Alot, CFT

Oh no shit, you are doing a test run? AWESOME I am SO GLAD to see that.
Go to whatever nursery or farmers supply you have around there and look for a potting mix that does not contain added fertilizer or 'water crystals'. Then if you want to, add a little more perlite to it.
Your pots should have big drain holes and not be very big compared to the plant. You should re-pot often, only going up slightly in size. This prevents soil problems as described in some stickies and FAQs around here. There's a soil chem one in my sig, then a continuous canopy one in basic, and a re-pot one in the FAQs. Read up; they are useful.

Ok so i went and baught a ph tester and it says its right under 7 like 6.7-6.9

Also i just watered it and with the weight of the water makes them all lay on there sides, what should i do.( its a multi hole watering can, not somthing that dumps abuncha water on it.
