So I have a plant in my closet one growing using a hydro set up and that one is doing good but I have another in soil and it is giving me a hard time. I have it in miracle grow potting soil i was thinking that was problem one but I water it only like 2-3u times a week and the water I use has bytes in it as well. I am a noon grower but I'm trying to do it right. I brought the plant home and it was doing great for a day and it seems like as soon as I transferred it I to the pot it started dying. Idk how to figure out from what.

It has brown spots its drooping and the leaves are darkening. The leaves are not turning yellow and dying so I don't think it is a watering problem I am trying to learn how to manage nutes please help I have a picture I ca280145m take more if needed.

That thing is all burned to sh1t. The MG soils are too hot. Nothing but trouble. It looks a bit light starved as well. Too much water too. I water mine 1x / 5 - 7 days in FFOF. I don't bother with nutes using this soil. It's a NOOBs dream. I doubt that is saveable. Sorry for the bad news.

Try filling this out. You will find it in the signature of many here_ bigsby, CanGroIt and many others. I say, go down with the ship and don't give up!

What is your experience level? (first timer, novice, experienced...)

What type of hydro set-up are you running?

Your Equipment:
A) Type and wattage of lights. (MH, HPS, CFL's, tube fluorescents, LED's)
B) Distance from tops?
C) Reflector type? (cool tube set-up, bat wing, enclosed reflector, bare bulb...)
D) What are the bulb wattages, kelvin ratings, and schedule?
E) Is there a consistent fresh air supply?
F) Do you have an exhaust fan and a circulation fan?
G) Size of reservoir?
H) What medium if applicable.

Your nutrients and water:
I) If using rockwoll for clones or seedlings, did you rinse the cubes well, with properly ph'd water?
J) Source of water. (tap or filtered) What's it's ph?
K) Specific brand and N-P-K ratio for each bottle. List dosages (quantity per gallon) and current feeding schedule.
L) What is the ec/ppm of your unadjusted tap (or filtered) water?
M) What is the ec/ppm of your nutrient solution?
N) What is the temperature of your nutrient solution? (reservoir high and low temps)
O) Does your ec/ppm show a rise or fall when you do your daily PPM check?
P) Does the ph fluctuate?
Q) Do you foliar feed? If so, with what, how often, and at what time do you
spray? (Just after lights come on, just before they go out...)
R) How often do you replace reservoir water/nutes? What does it look like before changes? (clear, foamy, green, brown...)

Your growroom:
S) What size of closet, room or hut?
T) What are the temps and humidity levels while lights are on? ...With lights off?
U) Have you seen signs of insects in the growroom?
V) Are the roots long and white, or brown and slimy?

Your strain:
W) What strain are you growing? (Indica dominate or Sativa dom?)

I don't know if this helps, maybe you can identify the symptoms your plant has on the chart... The. Pic isnt great, but its all there, mostly.

You just need to read up on m.g. soil because it has a lot of nutrients in it already. You can use it to grow, but be carefull not to burn it.
