My Plants Are Sick : ( Please Help.

There are just seeds from a quarter sack. Nothin special. They're about 6-7 weeks old. These are my first plants to grow and I know they aren't great but I'm really proud of how good I'm doing. I have them under two lights of about 23 watts a piece in an aluminum foil enclosure. I give them some $5 miracle grow stuff mixed with water every 2-3 days.

Anyways, here's some pics of one of my plants. It's been like this for a couple of weeks but it's progressively getting worse. Started with lowest leaves and worked it's way up.

Thanks!

The foil can cause hot spots but not with just 2 clf's. Looks more like miracle death to me. Nute burn would be more yellow.

Water is your PH ?

You might need to flush good and tell us more. Fill out the trouble shooting form.

Might be a heat issue.

... lay off the fertilizer ... use the MG at half-dosage, once per week, at most ... also, I suspect you are over-watering, from the looks of those leaves ... your plant must go thru wet and dry cycles, the plant draws up nutrients during the dry cycle ... let 'er dry between waterings :thumbsup: ... and, like previously said, dump the foil, next time, use flat-white paint ... not gonna burn with the CFLs, but it absorbs light, doesn't reflect light worth a damn (in fact, the 'dull' side of foil actually reflects better :wtf:) ... good luck, they're not that bad :jointsmile:

Looks like root rot to me. (overwatering)

If you aren't measuring your nutes, you'll never be able to adjust them to suit the plant's needs. If it's Miracle Grow All Purpose, 1/2 tsp:gallon per week. Let the plant's soil dry between waterings.

If you really want to grow cannabis, start reading. If you just want to throw seeds in a pot expecting them to care for themselves...perhaps a chia pet would suffice. :thumbsup:

look's alot like over-fert.Make sure your not overwatering...and run your PH at 6.8.

Looks like you didn't read enough.

Well I read quite a bit but I figured it wouldn't hurt to trial an error some dirt seeds ya know what I mean? Thanks for the tips... I'll try em out. I was thinking that maybe my soil was too wet. Is it bad if the soil is kinda packed?

You dont want the soil packed like a rock,more important is to let it dry out between watering's.

My apologizes, I must learn patience with the greenhorns.

haha YEAHH be patient, you too were once a green horn :p

Alright, I've been letting it dry out a little, well see how it goes
