Problem

Im currently having a problem with my first indoor grow under cfl, I am currently feeding them rain water with a couple of drops of BabyBio to it, I always make sure the soil is nice and moist.

It seems the outa parts of the leaves are curling up and turning brown and also a wierd shiny effect with spots is turning out on some of the leaves.

Included pictures.

Any help would be great?

I'm not familiar with this product. Could you give specifics; ie. what are its N-P-K numbers?

Have you checked the pH of your irrigation water, whether rainwater or tap? Your pH should be in the 6.5-6.8 range for soil.

Bottle reads 10.6 - 1.9 - 1.4, 5-10 drops to 1 pint. I will pop out later and try find a ph test kit.

Here's my advice to you:

1. Check your irrigation water pH regularly. You will need to purchase either test papers (low cost solution) or a pH meter (a bit more costly depending on features). You should adjust pH after adding all nutes, etc., to your water.
2. You need a way to adjust pH up or down, depending on your test results. Some people use household items (citrus juices, vinegar, etc) but I have no info. on that as I've only used the commercial preparations available from hydro shops.
3. Find some better nutes for your plant. From my google search, Baby Bio is an all purpose houseplant food, somewhat like our Miracle Grow all purpose in the states. This won't work too well when you go to bloom this plant as you need very low N and high P and K at that point. I recommend nutes specifically formulated for MJ.
4. Since your plants are 2 months old, they may need to be transplanted. I noticed that your soil looks extremely heavy. When/if you repot, be sure to add about 25% perlite to your soil mixture for additional drainage and to lighten things up some.

But most importantly, you should spend some time reading the FAQs and stickies in the grow forums. They will explain everything you need to grow and harvest this wonderful plant.

Good luck.

A great example of teaching rather than telling. ^^^ :thumbsup:

A handy link regarding Acid Rain.
