whats your watering schedule/technique?

are there holes in the bottom of those cups to allow excess water to run out?

also, if you are always watering with distilled, I believe you need to add something like calmag to it, as distilled water i do not believe contains these elements (calcium and magnesium). Tap water is almost always fine to use for soil grows btw, but it also doesn;t hurt to leave it sitting out for 24+ hours to allow chlorine to evaporate first.


fyi, I have read several posts by stinky that also says that generally clipping leaves is a bad idea, and they should only be removed if they fall off by themselves... the might look like crap, but until the plant is willing to give them up, they are probably still doing something.

at any rate, my first guess, especially giong by the 3rd pic, I would guess they are being overwatered... as that is exactly what mine looked like when i overwatered... followed by the leaves that were most affected turning yellow/brown and falling off a week or 2 later... but theres not really enough information to say that for sure... you might want to consider filling out the trouble shooting form that is in the sticky post at the top of this forum and posting it here.

many of them in the 4th pic look perfectly fine though, aside from their size for their age
