Leafs curling/turning brown from the top. [Lowryder2 CFL]

Either you were feeding her, or you were not. Which is it? Does the soil contain time-release or any other nutrients? (should say on the bag)
With plants, the roots are in charge of nutrient and water uptake. When you foliar feed, you are forcing shit into the plant's structure, uncontrolled. Not an optimal situation, and you can do more harm than good. Especially if you are unfamiliar with the growing process.
Sooo...what were you spraying them with?


Cannabis prefers a wet-dry cycle, but you do have to make sure to get water and nutrients to the lower root zone. If you let the soil dry too much inbetween, you'll run into problems with re-hydrating the soil. (the water will flow-out of the bottom instead of hydrating the soil and roots) But do not let the pot sit in standing water, as this can cause root rot and algae and mold.


Cannabis plants need their nutrition. This includes the need for calcium, micronutrients, etc...) Try 1 tsp of molasses per gallon of properly ph'd water, once a week. And you might want to re-think your position on feeding 'em too. Especially if they aren't performing well.

Are you really too busy to pay attention to what you're doing with phosphoric acid...? :wtf:

Sounds like your soil buffers are working fine, but try and keep ingoing water within 6.3 to 6.8 ph. I adjust my water to 6.8, then add nutrients. This brings my water down to about 6.5ish. (perfect)

I've never grown a true autoflower, but from what I've read...there's no need for switching to 12/12, unless it's to kick-start the actual flowering. I'd cross-check this method online for different sources saying the same thing. Just doesn't sound right.

You have a minor heat issue, too. (leaves raised twords the heat, in an effort to 'shade' the reproductive calyx's) Check the thread in my signature regarding with dealing with heat issues...
It's not a problem, just an observation...

Likely I'd put the light above, but off to the side if it's the only one you are using. Plus, usable light from a CFL doesn't extend all that far, so likely you'll have some excess yellowing and die-off near the base of the plant as it get's light-starverd. As you stretch the plant, you'll have to raise the light, making it harder for the middle of the plant to feed off of the light. (the taller the plant, the higher the die-off line will be)

Phosphoric acid isn't some 'resident evil virus' shit you know, just sayin'.

and it's not like i watched some youtube clip where this random person wrote 'AF'z C4n be sl0w', after reading up on this, it seems like its a common thing.

Ill get a 125W CFL in a few days to increase the lightning!

The soil does not contain some time-released nutes, and im spraying it with tap water.

I do not let the whole pot dry out, and i dont belive i have any major problems with the way im watering my plant, thanks any way tho.

Phosphoric acid isn't some 'resident evil virus' shit you know, just sayin'.

Having 7.9 ph wellwater, I'm quite familiar with phDown, (phosphoric acid) as I go through about 1 gallon of the stuff every year and a half or two years. (1 tsp per 5 gallon bucket of water) I strongly recommend you quit arguing, and pay more attention to what you are doing. If you keep doing the same thing, you'll keep getting the same result. I have no dog in your hunt, so don't really give a shit either way.

Good luck to ya. :jointsmile:
