HELP!!!!FLOWERING PROBLEM!!!DYING!!!HELP

Sorry for the whinning but I don't know whats wrong they are in the fourth week of flowering and they just started to brown and curl up. I transplanted them all to one container when they went into flowering and added (2) 45w warm white cfl's to the lid of my box along with the existing (2) 125w full spec. cfl's on the sides. The ph is 6.0-6.5. I water every other day 16oz bottled water per plant. Also their is MG slow release bloom food and worm meal in the soil at (1) tablespoon of each. Next i'm going to try putting a bowl of water in the box for humidity. Any other suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks

Ah what a shame.

Ok lets look at some facts first.

you show three pics and one of them has three plants all in the same container. Never ever do this.

I would suspect that is the first problem...and unfortunately one you cannot solve at this point in time.


Next, you mention the dreaded MJ words MG....miracle grow?

Arghhh! Never use anything saying MG on the label.

FInally, 2 125W CFLs produce a shitload of heat. Not even heat that hits the thermometer, but a radiant sickyheat that can burn your leaves just like they are doing now.

If I were you I would just stop all nutes.

Raise the water pH to 6.8 and not a bit lower.

Make sure those 125 CFL are cool to the touch....only way to test is to touch them.

Please keep us upated.

that sucks.. :'(

Critical over feeding problem. I don't know how to solve it except a flush but it over ferts.
Fhydro

Save the flush and transplant them into sterile soil or good nutrient free soil. It's the MG and other stuff that is burning them. You can't flush MG transplant them and wash off the roots with Ph adjusted RO water as well as you can.

OK, so I will repot again into diffrent pots and soil but what about the roots they've been sharing this pot for a month if I remove them won't they be all intertwined? and as for the lights being hot why yes they are, but they aren't touching and their is fresh air circulating in the box so it's not hot. What size pots because the 10" wasen't big enough? and I didn't even have enough room for three 10" pot so this was my only option for keeping all of them. I was only expecting 2 females but got three. sniff_Hopeless&Sad_sniff

4 gallon pots sould fit...just flower the plants accordingly with the size of the pots...(smaller the pot ,sooner you have to flower)...otherwise you will run out of room in the pot for the roots...probably as soon as they recover from the transplant.
Go ahead and give it a try cause if you leave it they will die...and thats for sure!I'd get ready to start over just incase...get new seeds,soil, nutes,ect...
If the roots are intertwined just do your best. Good Luck!

If you soak all the plants dirt and all in Ph adjusted water the dirt will wash off and you can either use the same pot with new dirt or separate them. Just keep the root balls in place the feeder roots are fine if they break up a little it's the root ball that counts.

Would you not also reccomend some rooting powder be placed in the new soil?

When I transplant, I always dust the soil lightly with rooting hormone powder right where the roots will meet the new dirt.

Done within 20 seconds, you plant will never know what hit them and will just keep on cranking out the leaves.

The trick is to do it quick and be surgical in your precision.

Of course you have bigger problems than this, but consider it future knowledge just in case :)

You know it would not hurt a thing at all. I have never found the need but it would not hurt anything.

Good idea HARDDON i'm sure it will help the more I think about it the better it sounds. Some Hormex Concentrate would not be a bad idea either and even adding some B1. But then again I use B1 a lot anyway.
