PROBLEMS!!!

DAMNIT!!

Every time I start a plant it starts off great. I sucessfully germinate it and as soon as the vegetative state hits week 2 then everything goes to shit, and I mean SHIT!

Ok here is my situation. I am growing hydroponics. I use the basic General Hydroponics line of nutrients, Grodan woolrock, and a standing bubbler setup in a 3 gallon bucket. I have 4 45 watt compact flourecent bulbs that emit 2600 lumens each. The Ph is stable at about 6.1. I have air circulating in the room.

I can get past the germination phase. However once I am past the germination phase I can't do anything. This has happened to me over 7 times in a row and I can't get a good diagnosis.

This is what my most recent failure looked like. Other times it has looked like other deficiencies.

I have the Indoor Bible by Jorge Cervantes. I have been reading and reading and reading and I can't find anything that I am doing wrong. My setup seems decent and everything seems to be going great.

This most recent failure happened like this: I come home from work I go look in my grow room. My plant is in the second week of the vegetation phase with about a total of 4 full grown leaves, but it has these brown spots developing on the inside part of the leaves. I immediately run and changed out my hydroponic solution adding more nutrients to compensate for the deficiency. I have everything all done and setup. I leave for school and I AM NOT KIDDING YOU, 2 hours late I came back home and looked at my plant again. IT WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY YELLOW!! WITHIN TWO HOURS!!! WHAT THE F*-**!!!

Has this happened to anyone else? Am I just cursed at growing?!?!? What is the big deal here???? I have grown other kinds of plants and I have never ever had this problem!

Should I just go back to soil growing or something? What should I do?!?!

do they get fresh air?

The soil that you are using has some king of acid in it or there is to much heat coming from your light there to close to your plant. or not wattering enough. one of this 3 thing is going wrong youll now wich one of this is true. just check this three thing and you will be ok.

theres no soil dude. he says pH is stable 6.1

I have dedicated several chapters in my book about the things people screw up hydroponically. www.growweed.com. Send me your e-mail with "smoker4life" in it somewhere and I will send you are free download of the book. I think it will make you a lot less frustrated!!
