Hi I'm new here, and a new grower. This plant is about 2 and a half weeks old. I hope its not too late to save it. Its under a bunch of flourescents right now, been watering daily, but was told maybe the problem is overwatering. Any help would be very appreciated. I got a couple pics but havent figured out how to put em on here.
So if someone could tell me how to put them on here, i got a few good pics. I only have 3 plants and this is my biggest one so it's real important I save it, I cut the 2 yellowish leaves off, and will let it dry out a bit, thats all I got so far.
you go on Post reply ! scroll down with your mouse and in Additional Options you will see tab Manage Attachments ! Click on that tab and in a new window go upload ! Find on your PC the pics and upload them !
And . . . you should now water your plants every day ! !
this leaf has been removed along with the other one like it. I'm thinking of repotting cuz I can see roots on top of the soil and through the holes on the bottom of the pot.
and a pic of the wilting.. please save her.
Yes ! Ur plant is too big for that pot . Transplant it immediately .Quote:

if you didn't figured the problem. Why ?
If you simply cut the leafs and you don't now what is the problem,
the same thing will appear on others .
Transplant and then you will see how ur plant will develop further .
shortly : your problems was and still is : pot size and over watering.
Why thank you very much for the help, I repotted my 3 plants, since if that one was too big, then the others were too big too. I never thought I could get so excited about gardening. I will try and post some pics of my set up and my plants in a bit (smoke break).
These are my from today, the bigger one is about 3 weeks and the other 2 are 2 weeks. Any feedback is greatly apreciated. I'm using a 4x4' flourescnet, and a flourescent. the 4x is above and at an angle, and the 2x is on the side, I have mylar on 3 sides, 2 small computer fans blowing out. I'm using black gold soil, aquafina water, and thats about it. I plan to get a 400 watt hps before flowering which I'm thinking will happen around x-mas or new years.
what is the temp ?
PH ?
ur oldest plant maybe have nut problem ; test your ph !
Deaner - Jut in case you didn't figure it out, that "now" is a typo. Should be "...you should NOT water your plants every day.Quote:

...and you should start reading up about nutrients - you need to feed your plants.
PC :smokin:
your plants look good otherwise. what kind of soil are you using? Looks like you could use some perlite in your mix, let those ladies breathe :jointsmile:
I use Black Gold soil, I didn't really know what I was doing when I got it. I don't guess I can add perlite at this point. I know absolutely nothing about nutrients yet. Time is definately a factor working against me. I thought it was now every day watering, glad you corrected that. If I knew of a simple nutrient mix that I could add to already potted plants, then I would gladly add some. I figured since I knew zip when I started it would possibly do more harm than good to add nurients. This whole growing thing seemed so complicated in the beginning, alittle overwhelming, figured simple was best. Also getting a used 600 watt HPS in a couple days, figure thats enough for my closet for now, was originaly gonna use half, 4 foot wide, 6 high, 3 deep. Want to expand to the whole thing, basically double size eventually. Is there a mix of nutrients, simple and effective I should add at this point?
Tap water better than aquafina? Shit, I though I was givin them the best, and it aint cheap, so hopefully the tap stuff will be ok.
use tap water, check the ph of both the water you are using and ph of your soil runoff and stop watering them so much. A transplant IS also a great idea.......oops my mistake about the transplant because you said you just did. :)
Like weedhound said : check ur ph and then u will now to ad nuts or not .
Don't now what ph is the soil but i think that is too early to ad any
kind of nuts .
When i just planted my plants , I didn't have to feed them for 1 month !
here they are today. Still have some ugly leaves on the bottom of the older one. They are totally yellow and have grey spots now. yuck. trying to resist dumping a bunch of water on em. so, I'm callin em 3 weeks at this point, even tho the oldest is 3 and a half. So I'm about halfway to switching the lights over? I think I will be planting a real grow fairly soon. Getting a 600 watt HPS very soon, a day or 2..
Opinions? They look ok? Is there a way to change the name of this thread?
They really looking good today, soil looked pretty dry so I watered a little. The new fan keeps the plants rocking, and I have a 600 wt MH light to put on them, and it has the HPS conversion so I can switch come flowering time. Havent added the light yet, think I want to learn about nutreints before the added heat and light gets them hungry.
put your finger about three inches in and if its moist you dont need to water it, i use canna coco soil and it has a nice way of changing colour to let you know ;) also get your air supply sorted before you bother with the HPS otherwise you'll find controling the temperature pretty hard
They look a lot better. Don't worry about the low leaves any more, focus on the appearance of new growth.
Bottled drinking water often has undesirable minerals in it. Tap water has calcium, and the plants need that.
I see those pots have a built in drain tray. Those can trap moisture and lead to pests and also prevent proper drainage. If you can remove the tray without damaging the plant, do so.
Those plants are old enough to feed. Start on a 1/4 strength grow fertilizer.
I moved this to 'plant problems'.
Thanks for movin it, wish I could turn into a grow log. Can I use miracle grow for nutrients? I already have some and it would be easy to dilute and start using. I will remove them drainage trays right away. I figured I couldnt add the light until i started feeding them a bit. Lights gonna be nice.
Ventilation= 2 little computer fans mounted into wall going out into attic
1 big square window fan blowing right on plants.
Damn if I only had more time to learn about nutrients,my 6oo wt mh looks so good, but I know if I leave it on my shit will suffer. I need an all in one grow huge nutrient mix fer my ladies. That miracle grow is right there..
looking good today, got the big fan goin alot, soil looks dry, plants look great! I really want to get the 600wt goin, its in and ready, bright and hot! just waiting to figure out what to feed them. I've been bending the oldest one a little to get it a little more horizontal, don't know if I should be though. Please feel free to comment.
what is a good fertilizer that I should use 1/4 strength of? can i get it at the local store? I'm getting nowhere in finding a good startin fert. It's crazy confusing!
Nice come back deaner:thumbsup: Good shit. Ur plant looks 10x better.
ok, so I'm still lost when it comes to nutrients, so I am gonna have to just trust the folks at the local hydro store. They seem to know their shit..
Today I got some botanicare Pure blend pro gro, I wanted 1/4 strength so use 1 tsp instead of 1 tbsp. Also got some Sweet but will wait to add that, see how this goes first, only used maybe a quarter of the gallon I made, don't know if I should keep using it til it's gone or just once a week or something. I turned on the 600 wt MH light and its set 2.5 to 3 feet above the girls, for now, turned the flourescents off for a bit, gonna switch back in a few hours, since I will be leaving and don't want it getting hot and want them to get used to it slowly, and am so scared of messin something up at this point, they are looking so good! I've had the same bong since high school, how sad is that? Better go have a lil session with her..
Oh, I should be getting bunch of seeds soon for grow #2, probably do 10 at a time for now, hopefully that gives me 4-6 females. How can I do 2 at once, I would need a seperate box right? start the next group when the old ones go into flower, just seal off the big box so no light gets in? 24 on for the little box of babies, 12/12 in the main room.
Just leavin the 600wt mh going, fed them and the tmp is staying 78-80, lots of airflowing, gonna leave it overnight like this. WHEN DO I START LOOKING FOR SEX?? they are 6" tall, and bushy and green, seem to grow by the minute, when do i feed again? I will probably use reg water tommorow or next when it looks dry.
