A Troubleshooting form! Yay! You know you wanted one!

Hey peeps,

Lots of 'my plant is sick' questions as always... and I realize that a lot of new growers aren't even fully aware of the types of things that they need to take into consideration when asking for advice, so I made a list of the common ones.

If you have a problem, go ahead and cut-and-paste this list into your post to make it easier for the growers here to help you.

Don't worry about answering every question, but the more information you give, the faster and more accurately we can help solve your problems!

Happy growin'.

I remember you were commenting on someone who took pics of his plants (a little research and I might find who he was and the thread, can't remember right now). For each plant he had a top view and a side view. If I remember, you said that this was a good way to take pictures as it's easy to how the plant looks and see different symptoms if any. Maybe you wanna include that in the form? As well as any close up pictures they might want to take of specifically what they noticed.

Anyways nice form.

The post referenced above is a wonderful example of the angles that you should take pictures from to help us diagnose your plants. Granted the lighting and picture quality could be a bit better but the angles- top, side, side showing nodes, and diagonal- show the plant's structure and leaves well.

I often find a shot of the underside of affected tissue can be helpful.

Congrats, Ms Moderator Lady- I cower in fear of your mighty ban button:thumbsup:

Please do not post your plant problems in this thread. Start a new thread, and copy the questions into the new thread to answer them. Otherwise it turns into pure confusion!

[veggii]

Huh wot? did she say??.. post my pic's here for help????
No she clearly stated you should start your own thread
this is a guideline of what information should be in your post DOH!

[stinkyattic]

Please remember this is a sticky, not a place to discuss individual problems. The only reason it is still open for posting is in case you guys need clarification on items in the form, etc.
