my plants need help...their dying

[Greenthing]

It looks like you may have more than just a ventilation problem but you have to start somewhere.
Get the fresh air circulating by whatever means possible and use a oscillating fan also to move the air around in your growspace at least that would be a starting point.:hippy:

Let nature take is course the leafs will fall off when the plant is finished with them, the plant will use the nutrition in those leaves.:hippy:

If its cold where you are keep a check on the temperature's.
Good luck.

sorry i dont think i can help with so little info. all i can say is they need light, ventilation and food. with the soil your using they might be getting the food but sounds like they are not getting 2 out of the 3 things they need to live. i would say do whatever you can do to give them those three things and get them out of there asap.
good luck...

Oh and this is good advice to:hippy:

My opinion:

you are over-feeding them by ganging up on your variety of nutrients.. maybe overwatering a little too.

to get more "air" put a couple of fans on them. enough to move the leaves, not enough to blow them off. lol an oscillating fan is great. I usually use clip fans...

miracle grow is ok, just not great. not balanced for this type of plant.

next two times you water, use only water. put your finger in the pot, and if you feel moisture, don't water. if you BARELY feel any coolness, then water.

you should also check the PH of your water before you water your plants, and check the PH of the runoff. this will tell you if your water is ok, or not, annd the runoff will tell you if your soil is too high or not.

for soil, a PH of 5.8 to 6.8 is ok. closer to 5.8 -6.4 is best range. IMO.



oh trimming? I'll pluck an all-yellow leaf if it's in the way of buds. otherwise I pull them when the plant releases them.

thank you all so much, i put a fan up and had the doors open all day, i will also use regular water next 2times i water them and take everything said into consideration and hopefully they will all come out good

It is the miracle grow, its no good for growing weed, it has way too much nitrogen and is way too hot for small plants. if they survive in it they will grow more leaves than anything else.
Get them out of the mg and into some seedling mix without fertiliser especially 3 month time release. you cant control anything with it. it will most likely kill them. Get a few blue spectrum flourescent tubes or screw in flourescent bulbs from the hardware store for light. keep em inside until they recover ph 6.5 - 7.

good luck

thank you all!! i said screw it and busted out the one small window that was right beside the plants put a fan in the window blowing air out and a fan on the plants themselves, watered with regular water and in 2-3hrs i went back in the plants were starting to stand right up, my best 2 plants were extremely perked up and all the leaves are standing up really nice...thank you ALL for helping me...i appreciate it so much.
