Help me! My first plant is getting yellow spots and wilting

[DreamerGirl7]

what is the temp ?

PH ?

ur oldest plant maybe have nut problem ; test your ph !

[PharmaCan]

And . . . you should now water your plants every day ! !

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.

Isn't aquafina a bottled mineral water? If so, that's not the greatest thing in the world to water your plants with. Use tap water or R/O water (the stuff they vend from the machines at the supermarket).

...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:

[deaner]

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?

[deaner]

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.

[Weedhound]

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.

[DreamerGirl7]

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 !

[deaner]

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..

[deaner]

Opinions? They look ok? Is there a way to change the name of this thread?

[deaner]

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.
