Yellow and droopy :(

[cjen34]

[U]first and foremost since i didn't really see a field for the problem at hand. the problem is two yellow bottom leaves with burnt yellow spots and a red stem on every plant i try to go. all the way up to the nodes. and the leaves are all droopy. every new set.

the plant is a month old and it still looks like it did it's first week of really growing. HELP! I NEED SOMEBODY. HELP! NOT JUST ANYBODY. HELPPP./U]


What is your experience level? (first timer, novice, experienced...)

first-timer kinda.

Your Equipment:

CFL's. One Corallife 65 watt with blue acetinic (sp?) i believe. and two CFLs. 25 wats apiece. the first cfl has the 50/50 lights. half sunlight, half blue acetinic for chlorophyl-A production.

.2) Distance from tops? about 4 inches.
.3) Reflector type? (cool tube set-up, bat wing, enclosed reflector, bare bulb...) not sure about this.
.4) Is there a consistent fresh air supply? yes.
.5) Do you have an exhaust fan and a circulation fan? no.
.6) What are the bulb wattages, kelvin ratings, and schedule? 24 hours.


Your medium:
.7) Specific brand and type of soil, (coco, peat based soilless...) and anything you've added to it. (vermiculite, perlite, worm castings...) Just basic miracle-gro soil with miracle gro nitrogen pellets. that dissolve over 60 days.
.8) Size of container. idk, about 4 inches in diameter.
.9) Did you use peat pucks (or similar) to root clones or germinate seedlings? done in a flooded cup of water and stuck in dry, humid, dark place.

Your nutrients and water:
10) Source of water? (tap, bottled or filtered) What's it's ph before adjusting? tap water with a ph of about 3.0, but i raise it to 6.9
11) Method of checking water ph. (ph pen, test strips, aquarium test kit...) test strips.
12) Method of adjusting water ph. (phosphoric acid, white vinegar, hydrated lime, PH Up...) baking soda.
13) Specific brand and N-P-K ratio for each bottle. List dosages (quantity per gallon) and current feeding schedule. 6-12-6 for nitrogen pellets.
14) How often are you watering between feedings, and how much per watering? every 2 and a half days approximately. pellets dissolve with watering.
15) Any additives or tea's? (Superthrive, CalMag, molasses, Mother's Earth...) no.
16) Are your ph levels stable, or do they fluctuate? stable.
17) What is your ingoing water's ph? ...your runoff ph? 6.9, 6.3
18) Do you foliar feed? If so, with what, how often, and at what time do you spray?

Get rid of the pellets, and transplant to a 1 gallon container. add perlite as well. why get rid of pellets you ask? keep readin' :jointsmile:

13) Specific brand and N-P-K ratio for each bottle. List dosages (quantity per gallon) and current feeding schedule. 6-12-6 for nitrogen pellets.

Sounds to me like you are loading her up with way too much nitrogen. You should use a plant food that can be dissolved or mixed into your water, not an auto-feed anything. You should be feeding every other watering, and you certainly should not be feeding full strength nutes to a baby. Always start with a weak solution, and always wait till the plant has a few solid nodes to start feeding.

Your nutrients and water:
10) Source of water? (tap, bottled or filtered) What's it's ph before adjusting? tap water with a ph of about 3.0, but i raise it to 6.9

What? 3??? Id invest in some RO water, but you'll probably want to get some CalMag+ if you do. You should probably find a new source of drinking water too haha

.5) Do you have an exhaust fan and a circulation fan? no.

you NEED to get both ASAP.

It sounds like you still have a lot of reading to do. Hell, I've got a lot of reading to do. Here's a link to stinky's thread on basic growing: http://boards.cannabis.com/basic-gro...-dankness.html
I'd recommend reading the entire thing. It will help immensely!!!

Good luck!:thumbsup:
