what is the temp in the room?

[ojitos1985]

i have no termometer but it is very cool man, the same like before, i am cooling with a huge fan

[ojitos1985]

welli have readed almost every sick guide plant and cant found this.. HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

wow....ghetto rigged fan there....

i assume that the Mh is for veg and not to flower, or youd want to consider an hps instead

it doent look like a light issue. howver, it may be a heat issue. how powerful is that bulb, cuz it looks within a foot of the plant?

besides that, it could potentially be minor nute burn or magnesium lack.

what ferts do you use?

[stinkyattic]

Light distance should be fine based on the fan there and the lack of enclosure.
You should re-pot that plant IMMEDIATELY into a plastic straight-sided container, even a waste basket, with lots and lots of drainage. You need better drainage/air flow to roots than a decorative pot like that can provide.

yes it is for vegging only, its a 250watts metal halide within 22 cm aprox of the plant, i am ferting every week with high nitrogen phosporus and potasium, it say 75g 50g 50g respectively, and all micronutrients

I changed all my CFL 4 days ago aprox to that MH lamp, could be that? too much light and the plant didnt know what happend?

gotcha, i didnt take the pot too seriously, and i am starting to worry about it because it never get dry, also i think my plant isnt growing as fast as she can, could be lack of oxygen???

could i get bad results in that pot?

Definitely. Roots need oxygen too. Not light, but oxygen, in order for the soil to "breath"

[stinkyattic]

Roots can only get oxygen when the soil cycles through wet AND dry. You;'ve got to get into a nursery pot or something similar. When in doubt, add MORE drainage holes.. I used to flower in 3 gallon kitty litter pails with so many holes in the side it was like swiss cheese, but the plants as a result tolerated much more abuse because the roots were happy.
