Hey StinkyAttick

[Mick420]

Hey man it's me again.I took your advice and went back to soil today.Maybe not in enough time,I don't have my camera here but ill try and explain my best!
The leaves were turning just a little brown at the tips , the leaves are curling upwards.
I am getting very fraustrated with all this.I have never had any problems like this.
Anyway the tips of the new leaves coming out are kinda crunchy so to speak.I am using 3 fluorcents 1 RB17T8/GL 1200 LUMENS, 1 F20T12 PL/AQ 750 LUMENS AND 1 F20T12/D,1075 lumens I think on that last one .For some reason my temps are around 80f and 40% humidity.
Any suggestions would be great.I have a fan at the top of my closet trying to bring the cooler air in.I know heat rises but it's darker up there and seems alot cooler.

yeah, I'm not Stinky :wtf: ... the burnt tips mean nitrogen 'burn', a small amount isn't too bad ... the 'curled upwards' suggest too high temps ... regardless of how it 'feels', heat rises ... your fan should be intaking at the bottom, and exhausting at the top ... good idea to include an oscillating fan in there, it strengthens the stems and promotes good growth ... :smokin:

Im sure you have opened a box of miracle grow before, it comes with the spoon with 2 sides one for outside one for in!
I was using 1 scoop of the miracle gro plant food(Green crystals) per gallon of water and one of those scoops ot scotts lawn fert, supposed to boost roots growth.Stinky already told me I was using to much newts.So I took his advice and stopped using anything but water,but they have suffered badly already so I don't know if they will come back. Im very new to the hydro supplies thing, I did build a nice small system but I burned it all up.I decided to go back to using soil.So yeah way to much nitro. The 4 I put in there after I changed my resv. and they just have the leaves curling upwards and they are slightly yellow.
My temps, were pretty high as it was already.
Going to try and vent. better, I have an oscillating fan but it's at the bottom of the room and not enough room tp turn left or right but they are getting a nice gentle breeze~

just in generalities, my feeding advice is pretty simple:
use a simple, well-drained soil, no pre-added nitrogen, no peatmoss ...
no nutes of any kind the first two weeks, after the seedling breaks soil ...
when you really think your plant could look 'healthier', go ahead and add a mild fertilizer like a 2-1-1, a 3-2-2, etc. ... go ahead and dilute it 50%, and only apply once a week ... if it isn't 'greening' up well, you can feed more ... it's a lot easier to feed more, than to un-do overfeeding problems ...
stop adding nitrogen ferts about a week before going to the flowering phase ... this is when your ferts will become more P & K biased, a 0-3-1 in the Earth Juice Bloom, as opposed to the high-level Tiger Bloom, which is a 2-8-4 ...
finally, stop all feeding about two weeks before your anticipated harvest, and flush well with plain water just before harvest ...

Hopefully I can manage to get to the flowing stage lol.I will get this straight im sitting here thinking of how I can do this.
Im sure I will have more questions.Thanks for the info

Hey, I just saw this now.
The miracle grow AND lawn fert combination is just way too much! Back off on that, and give a weak solution of just the MG for now. Weak like 1/2 or even 1/4 of what the package says. That stuff really isn't ideal for cannabis but at least in soil you will find it easier to use.
80' and 40% RH is not a bad temperature. You should not see any signs of heat stress with that- check the temps at the level of the plants too. The curl could be residual from the fertilizer burns.
Just watch to see if new growth starts to improve i nthe next couple of days.
What strain is that by the way? I am very impressed by its resilience!
And I'm a chick...

Ok the 2 bigs ones have not had any nutes they are about 2 weeks old.
The 2 small ones in the pot together ar KB seeds, I have no idea on the strain.
Here are some more pictures for you to see!
Oh yeah im sorry for thinkin you were a guy.Forgive me
