twisted bent leaves. HELP!!!
alright I did'nt have many resources to grow with. I'm poor and can't drive yet. I started the plants with miricle grow soil with ferts in it and used two 140watt flood lights. The first two weeks where amazing the plants looked really healthy. Then I had to go on vacation so I left the plants outside alone for two weeks. When I got back they looked good a little eaten by some bugs but otherwise fine. They where getting too big for there pots so I transplanted them to some gallon pots. 3 weeks later they where doing good but there stunted so I decided I had no choice but to move them to 3 gallon buckets but I had no soil so I used the soil from outside and I know that was a bad idea but I couldnt come up with a solution. well I put the lights on them and they where doing fine but one light was too close and started to burn one of the plants. I moved back the light and was very upset with myself. so Iv been watching the plants and the one that got burnt is'nt doing to well It's leaves at the top are twisted and look burnt. Im not sure if that was from before or not. Some of the leave tips bend down too. I'm hoping It has nothing to do with ferts or ph and that my plant will be fine. Tomarrow I get my liscence and the first thing I'm doing is going to lowes and getting some good soil and some good lights. so I need to know if my plants look fine and if theres anything else ill need to get. Also can somone recomend some good lights (I can't use tubes). Thanks fo the help.
twisted bent leaves. HELP!!!
plants are fine... don't stress : )
1.get pots (1-3 gallon) that have drain holes in the bottom
2.put down newspaper and a l1/4 inch layer of perlite (white stuff)
3.get good bag of soil that includes chicken manure, worm castings etc.. about $10 for 2 cubic feet (big bag)
4. transplant plants and water thoroughly - lots of 6.8 ph water.
5. don't add nuts until plants stabilize
good luck
