I don't want them to die! Whats wrong?

what are we supposed to look for?

The soild does have MG added fert to it. only 1 of the plants has some bad tips, then the other has a spot... then two other plants look perfect. So I have 4 plants growing in this soil. Will they be ok? Can they toug it out until they are older and actually use the fert?

Well, if the other 2 look fine, and the other one isn't so bad, I would just leave it. As long as its progress doesn't get worse, like it continuing to burn up, then just leave it. Good luck!

Ok cool thanks. Oh and another thing... (don't feel like starting a new thread)... Since I don't have two boxes to grow in... all 4 plants are in one box... some of them are going to be male I know it. Is there any chances to tell durring veg? Or only durring flowering? I don't want it to be to late. If I take them out before the male flower-pollen things open up, will I be safe?

Yes, there is a way to tell during veg, but not until it is a mature, well developed plant. I'm guessing, around 50-60days into vegging. The plant will have pre-mature hairs showing. I, on the other hand, find it very hard to decifer between a male and female pre-hairs, so I always wait until the first 2 weeks of flowering are over before I know for sure.

Yes, if you take the males out before they blow their loads, then your other plants will be safe. You don't have to worry though, the male plant has to be very developed before it spreads its pollen. At that time you will know for sure whether it's a male or female.

What kind of ferts should I use once my plant is old enough to receive? Can I use MG? Or can that cause fert burns? What do you use nocho?

Well, once your plant is old enough to handle ferts, with is usually after 3-4 of growth, you want something that is high in N(N-P-K). When you go out and look for ferts, all of them will most likely have 3 numbers on the packaging. The three numbers stand N-P-K. I use 8-7-6 Shultz plant food. Now, it all comes down to a personal pref. for what kind of food you want to use, you'll have to fine tune it. But that is what I use. You could go with something like 10-0-5 or something along those lines. When you first start giving your plant its food, I suggest starting at a very low dose at first. You'll have to read the mixing instructions on the packaging when you have it, but what it suggests for feeding, start with 1/4 strength, then slowly, but surely, start boosting it every few feedings or so. 1/4-1/2-3/4-4/4(full) That's how I do it anyways. I feel it is better to give the plant less food than too much. You give it too much, you'll burn up your plant, slowing growth, and cutting yeilds big time.

When it comes to brands, you can use any kind you want. MG is okay if you just want to start learning and all, but when you start getting into it, stay away from it. It's nasty stuff and is not really made for growing the sticky stuff. It will work, but not to its full potential like other ferts. Try and get a liquid fert at first. If you get a crystal or powder fert, you may risk burning your plant up. But if you cannot find a liquid food, no big deal. You just have to be very careful using crystal/powder food so early in its life.

Any food can cause burning if overfed. Like I said, it's better to give to little than too much. You must be cautious at feeding at first. You don't want your plant to start out shitty, or the outcome will be shitty. Hope this helped. peace.

Cam, i'd say to do the cloning idea that the video had.. suggested

Hey thanks that did help me a lot really. I'll go to walmart and see what they have to offer. i'll do what you said and start off low strength and then work up to a higher fert. And I'll also give it a little less than what is suggested so I don't burn them. I wouldn't like to burn them... Do the plants become more potent if you keep them in the veg stage for longer? Like, because they're in veg and continue to be in veg for so long they produce more THC?
