Hi everyone. I hope that you are having a good day. I am concerned about one of my plants after it recently took a turn for the worse (And I didn't help it, by diagnosing and treating the wrong problem, which made the real problem worse it seems.

Here is the problem. New growth has almost ceased, the main growing top that is sprouting leaves, has diminished it's leaf production down to 1\4 inch a day if that. That is of new leaf, not total height of the plant growth.

Here are some pictures, first is just simply to show that I am using LED to grow this guy! I was constantly getting inter-nodes of less then 1\2 inch. However the rumor about these LED's are that they will produce a squat bushy plant with a superb high. However will not lend to large juicy buds, unless you mess with the ratio of blue - red. Mine right now is a veg light, and I built it to be 3:2 light ratio, or 60% blue, and 40% red. I am planning on adding an additional small panel to help during flowering. Or possibly using some 13w CFL for "light" support..... lol, sorry for the PUN!

The last three are of TODAY, Jan 7th 2010. I flushed their soil on the fifth, because I noticed all growing tops were turning lime green and thought it was a problem. (I now know fast new growth will be lime green, and should turn normal in a few days) I had also gave her 2 cups of 500ppm nutrient solution on the day before the flush.

They stopped getting worse, however never really got better. Now the tips are turning brown! I have tips turning up, and down, and a general "wilt" happening at the growing top, yet mature leaves are doing alright, slight curling up of the side serrated edges, which is too much water I think.

Oh, please notice that aside from the leaf tips in the picture, you will notice that there are two leaves with brown spots developing. I have NO mites, or infestations. Mold is at a MINIMUM, almost never present unless I keep the soil moist too long.

If I didn't give some information that is needed, please lemme know. Oh, I have no PPM, or PH testing equipment, I use a friend who has them. (Can take up to a week to get something tested.... I have no cash right now to buy those or I would have, long time ago):smokin:

What I am thinking I need to do:

1) Let soil dry out a bit more (There is mold in pockets of air at soil level)
2) Transplant into BLACK pot, not frosted ice cream pail
2.5) Put catch tray under pot
3) Add some extra soil
4) Use a TESTED 5.5PH nutrient solution (Figure my soil PH by now is higher then it should be, so a lower PH would counteract that right?)

Happy Hoots!
