Go to the plant problems section and fill out the form. Hard to guess from such little detail. Are you using miricale grow or watering too much ?

sorry for the little info, heres some more:

it has been about 6 weeks since i planted it, the first month it was growing outside until it reached about 3 nodes, then i transplanted it into a clay pot with some soil from the garden(im in a place with very little supplies) at about 5 nodes the bottom leaves started to turn yellow and fall off. now the two bottom nodes are gone. after this i made a new setup: in my top cupboard with a fan that is on 24/7, and a 15w flourecent that is on a 17/7 light schedule(i am slowly moving towards 12/12) for fert i have to improvise, like i said supplies here are scarce, so i dilute a vitamin tablet in water and milk wich contains NPK, and the milk provides calcium it seems to have been working fine, today i transplanted it b/c i saw mold starting to build up on the topsoil, it is on its 5th node, not including the two that fell off, and it still looks like the yellow spots are spreading upwards.

i hope its enough info: any advice would be great.

transplant into larger, better-draining pots, and don't overwater ... :smokin:

[emochamploo]

thank you, is this all i need to do, is everything else right|?

[the image reaper]

yeah, I think it looked pretty good :thumbsup: ... when you start adding fertilizers, try using half-doses once a week, unless you see a real 'need' for more food ... lot easier to add more, than remove an excess ... most tricky problems I see, are caused by overfeeding, then trying to do other things to repair it ... it's a never-ending cycle sometimes ... keep us updated with your progress :smokin:

15w flouro...that ain't gonna grow much of anything. That thing is tiny for 6 weeks old. You need much more light. Put it outside if you can't get the right indoor setup.

[emochamploo]

about how many of those 15w will do the job?

This is a sticky at the top of the indoor lighting section. Don't take this the wrong way, but you won't get much help if you aren't willing to help yourself. You should be reading through all the stickies in the Basic Growing, Indoor Growing, Growroom Setup, Indoor lighting sections, (all that apply and then some) etc., before you ask questions... Also, the search function helps. I don't mean to be a dick, that's just how it is here. So much information already here that no one wants to keep repeating it over and over again. Good luck! :jointsmile:

I am not a pro yet by any means but I spent all day yesterday trying to find out what was going on with my plants and someone named Granny told me to look for Mites (Spider Mites)....Wah and imagine my shock when she was right sounds exactly like what you have going on Good luck

emochamploo....You definitely need bigger pots and more light. You also MUSThave a magnifying glass at least 10x...You gotta be able to see the almost microscopic size little bugs that will KILLyour plants right in front of your eyes!!! Also read,read,read this forum every chance you get...I doubt there's a question you could ask about growing the beauties that hasn't been answered a thousand times---And that's just on this forum...Start a grow log and let us know what's goin' on regularly..someone on the forum who KNOWS will ,I'm sure, jump in and help you out.........LOTSA LUCK!!!.............J
