Ok as some of you know I've been having trouble with my plants and I took a pic today. Basically it starts out as black specs on the leaves and takes over the whole leaf until its brown and it dies. I've varied the soil, watering schedule, light distance etc...I can't figure it out.
A few of the plants are yellow, but no black specs.
could use more details
They are bagseed, under a 600 watt hps. I'm using 3 different kinds of soil and it's happening to all of the plants, so unless there's something wrong with all the soil mixes I doubt that's it. Besides, I used the same soil and water before and had great results. I've also varied the watering schedule to see if that was it.
hmm.. You can't get a better pic by any chance, can you?
yeh need a better pic . all i can say from this pic is you have one of 3 things 1 ph fluxuatoin. 2 , over nute at an early age. 3 under water . or all 3 but as i say you would need better pics and a better explanatoin of your set up and routine to give a proper cause , anyway hope this gives you some ideas to bounce around and any what do i know im wasted lol. the postman.
how did u change ur watering practices? how did u water orginally? wat size pots u in and howbig are plants? i went threw somthing similar,same pots lights etc,after 3yrs problems,so instead of going from seed starter cell to 6 -8ounce cups,i transplanted to 4inch pots,2inches perlite on bottom,2inches prefert. soil on top,problem solved,and had never had a problem in 3yrs,same everthing....never thoght that wud solve problem...but hey it worked+peace buthead/do not regret all ur mistakes,look at it lik things u have over come...
I started watering them more, then less. Neither worked. The soil I started some is was scotts, only added nute is a little phos. The other is a mix of miracle grow and the scotts, and the other is just the miracle grow which I had my first grow in and they did amazing.
Hmm, so basically this forum is zero help.
maybe it's the 600 watt light on a little seedling.
Your probably frying your poor plants. How far is the light from the tops.
Also if we can't help you it's your fault. Don't blame us because you don't know how to explain things.
Did your parents teach you to be an ass when you ask for help? lol
HPS being too close to seedlings is very easy to do.
I have 2x 250 watt HPS' and I sometimes have trouble nuking my plants.
id definatly say they cant handle the 600w hps
try being patient? your post is one day old...Quote:

Have you checked for Bugs? Did you sterilize your pot before you put new soil in?
There's many things to factor in, and you won't get your answer in one day.
This is the 3rd thread I've made concerning these plants and this problem;)Quote:

I would also say it was extreme heat from the light or unbalanced ph levels.
move your light or your plant, from the structure of the leaves I can tell they are under some seriuous heat and try to keep the water in. the sides of the blades turning upward indicates this.
plants (any plant) would shrink the surface of their leaves to the light to prevent water loss.(or under serious heat) Remember how leaves are droopy when overwatered, that case it is the other way around, plant is making more surface to the light to get rid of excess water rapidly.
