hey its my first grow. i have 2 of my seedlings that dont look too good now. they seemed to do well until 2 days ago they kinda stopped growing. they are almost 3 weeks from seeds. i transplanted them in 2 or 3 gallon pots 2 days ago and watered with a really weak 20-20-20 about 1/4 of the recommended dose. im using ro water so the ph is normally 7.0 but after adding the nutes it was about 6 or 6.2, i had no choice to water them with it cuz it was the only thing i had left(the nutes were already mixed). few hours later, i had brown spots on a few of the lower leaves on two of my plants. the leaves started turnin yellowish or light green. i know it might be a lot of things like, nute lockout cuz of the ph, might even be because there was soil on the leaves after transplant, might be the transplant itself, overwatering (cuz they seem to be wilting) i also think it could be phosphorus defficiency. temp is around 78-80 day and 72-75 night humidity is around 55-65%. i use cfl's and have a fan blowing on them 24/7. help me please guys i just dont know what to do. should i flush and give it just ro water or ro with nutes. maybe i should not even flush. there is so much possibilities and im kinda lost cuz of my lack of experience. please guys help i really want to make these grow in perfect condition (shit sorry for the long text) :eek:
thanks

Don't listen to this retard.. there's a reason why he's banned.. and FYI. black lights don't do squat for growing.
As far as i can see.. there's no real "Problem" with her. she's to young to lock out any nutes or be lacking anything.
How often are you watering? you say you're using cfl's? how many watts?
We need a bit more info to help you out...but then again.. she could just be struggling from the transplant to.

yeah i thought that guy was pretty stupid too man.
alright, for the moment i only have 2 26watts cool white cfl and a 4 feet 2X 40w fluoro. I'm getting my 400w metal halide tomorrow though. i usually water every 3 days or so, depending if the soil seems dry or not, but what happened is that when i transplanted, i watered a little and then the day after i read that you have to irrigate the soil completly till you see some water falling from the bottom holes, so i watered again that day, wich was yesterday. i also think its either overwatering or just the stress from repotting, but i just noticed that a few leaves seem to be a little dry, is this normal, can overwatering cause this.
anyways thanks a lot man

What kind of soil you using ? Everything else sounds fine. If the soil has nutes in it you might have nute burn starting. Miracle Grow is the worst and every time you water you nute them again , hard to flush soil with nutes. The middle one looks good maybe transplant shock

I've tried to figure out my problem but the conflicting information that I'm coming across is very confusing so I'll state the symptons. I'd appreciate any response for what needs to be done for yellowing leaves. I've also got downward curl and downward cupping mostly at the buds. The plant is 5' ft tall that is anchored down. It has been flowering for 2 weeks. I've been feeding a 1/2 gal solution of 2-11-11 Awesome Blossom (under 2 teaspons per gallon mixture). The plant is under an air-cooled 600 watt HPS lamp at a distance of 10" inches. Last night I did pour 1 gallon of clean water through the soil. Now, it looks like the yellowing is more pronounced from yesterday. In fact a lot of the leaves are turning light green.

alright, the soil i use is garden club all purpose potting soil, no ferts in it. i mix it with vermiculite and perlite. when i transplanted them i watered with a little 20-20-20 fert. do you guys think i should flush and water with distilled water only.but i think i will wait before watering again, cuz it might be overwatering, and the plants seem to be getting a little better since the soil isnt as wet as it was a few days ago. thank you guys, any other suggestions are welcome !!!
by the way DRAGHIM, start your own Fuc**ng thread man

If they are looking better wait on the water. You know your grow better than any one. Could of been overwatering. Good luck. Let us know if there doing alright.

Never heard of using black lights. Methinks that's a bunch of crap. I think your problem is with the ferts. I never used any ferts at all until mine started flowering. If you want to give them some nutrition, get some worm castings from a nursery and mix those with the soil. MJ loves that shit. I never had a ph problem doing it that way. (It stayed right at 7 through the entire grow.) I would only introduce a small amount of fertilizer (with a high middle number) during the flowering stage, and even then I used it very sparingly. (Also, be sure to allow a couple of weeks before harvest to flush the plants with pure water - you don't want to be smoking Miracle Gro!)
As for lighting, during the vegetative stage (1st two months) use "blue light" (6400k lights) 24/7. During flowering, (last two months) use "red light" (2700k lights) 12 hours on/ 12 hours off. After four months, you should have some really awesome, aromatic buds (depending on the variety).
For ventilation, keep a fan running the whole time to circulate the air.
Hope this helps - Good luck!
