more info, how old, veg or flower, nutes, soil? we need more info.

[InsomniaBomber420]

Sorry was in a hurry(worried about my plant) Its a soil grow(bag seed)Its still in veg(also not sure if I should start to flower it yet). Its are about 2 months old.I feed it compost and enough water that the soil is always damp to the touch on top but not really "muddy"

[invision]

too much water, do you use nutes at all?

[L3G10N]

What kind of lights are you using? Perhaps the bottom leaves are not recieving enough intense light.

[InsomniaBomber420]

I forget what they are called but they are like three tubesthat are atached to a base that is like a regular light bulbs base
and no I dont use nutes
ps.dusto looked at sum of ur threads nice plants man I strive to grow like u one day

[dusto2k3]

well, many things could be wrong. The much you use might have a f'ed up PH which locks out the nutes in the soil. Or maybe not enought light. Maybe they aren't getting any food. Can you post a picture?

[InsomniaBomber420]

[attachment=o117292]My sisters borrowing my camera but I have a pic of it when it ways smaller.(and dont laugh I no its pathetic but I lovee my little baby)

[dusto2k3]

looks like it needs some Nitrogen...try and get some fod for it N-P-K, your looking for the first number.

Leaves tend to show necrosis in a soil grow when root bound too. If its a young seedling in a small container, she could be telling you that its time to repot. Before you kill the plant by tossing a shitload of nutes and mg and whatever you decide to do, repot into a larger container and wait a few days.

Plants tend to lose some of their older growth as they go. This is a natural process. Even pine trees that are green all year shed their needles.

[InsomniaBomber420]

So I just need to get soil with plenty of nitrogen. ok cool but what about the flowering do u think Im ready to start(its about twice that size now with about three times the leaves and what light scheduel would you recomend??

[dusto2k3]

well, I'd feed it some nitrogen like twice before you start flowering or else you will see some deficiencies during flower. When you are ready to flower go 12/12

[dusto2k3]

yeah, actually bonghitboy might be right, check the roots, if its just a mess, put it in a bigger pot.

[BongHitBoy420]

Im serious dude, make sure the roots arnt choking first. Root bound plants show nute deficiencies... a bit of nitrogen cant hurt, but id seriously repot before taking drastic action.

[dusto2k3]

yeah bonghit, looking at the pic, the pot does look a bit small, if the plant is twice that size now.

[invision]

oh man thats only half filled too, tranplant and get some nitrogen in her and she will recover in a matter of days, all lower growth will remain damaged but new growth will be fine.

[InsomniaBomber420]

Thanx for the help u guys. I am gonna replant it tommorow. And Im gonna go to the store to get it some nitrogen on the weekend so I hope shes alright. How did u guys get so good at this?? Trial and error, or are u guys just well researched. N E ways Ima go blaze. N E tips u guys have are still welcome even if theyre not about this topic. Any tricks of the trade would be apreciated thanx.

Little bit of both. If you approach it as an experiment as opposed to simply growing -- you learn from each go at it.

Attached pic was my very ver very first grow and my very first attempt at a dwc. Combined the two = Disaster. For me anyway.

But I learned alot from it and adapted.

Sooner you get that plant into a new pot the better man. Honest. When they get to a certain point, the whole thing will start getting crispy leaves and then its all over.

Remember whatever damage is done is done, but the new growth will be good. This lower growth -- for me anyway -- end up getting trimmed off anyhow. It'll be fine. Just love it and it'll love you back :lovestruck:

[InsomniaBomber420]

Thanks you guys put it in a bigger pot with more soil. It looks a little shock but i think itll bounce back. I need some new soil with plenty of nitrogen still though
