Someone wasn't happy about my previous respond.

First of all, if you have problems, getting a picture in the year 2011 is not so hard thing is it?

.4) Is there a consistent fresh air supply? two small circular fans i think its sufficient
.5) Do you have an exhaust fan and a circulation fan? no
If there is no fresh air supply to the cabinet then they are blowing same hot air to the leaves. This can cause damages.
You can either use some of your fans for fresh air or by using an exhaust you can have passive intake for fresh air.

Without fresh air photosynthesis can't be effective for using water and the nutrients. This cause damages.

Whatever you do without fresh air you can't heal the plant!

.7) Specific brand and type of soil, (coco, peat based soilless...) and anything you've added to it. terrazilla, cheap potting mix
Cheap potting mix might not be a good choice for taste of your buds.

.8) Size of container. 12 litre pb bag
Whatever it is make sure you have good drainage holes.

10) Source of water? (tap, bottled or filtered) tap water
Don't use right out of the tap. Let it sit for 1-2 days to get away from Chlorine. Chlorine causes death of organisms in the soil.
Cold water can shock your plants. Make sure its the same or near temperature with the cabinets.

11) Method of checking water ph. (ph pen, test strips, aquarium test kit...) not checking ph
Checking PH every time is not necessary for soil based mediums but good thing to have some tools for it. PH strips are the cheapest and works well.

13) Specific brand and N-P-K ratio for each bottle. List dosages (quantity per gallon) using nitrophoska blue balls and epsom salts
Granules are suitable for gardens. Can be used in pots but you really need to be very careful about the dosage. You can easily mess up and flushing makes things even worse in this case.

14) How often are you watering between feedings, and how much per watering? water each plant 1 litre every 3 4 days and add water to bottom of grow room for plants to soak up
Sounds like 1 liter is not enough for 12 liter medium.
You need to water gently, until water comes from the drainage holes. By doing that you'll not need to add water from the bottom.

21) What are the temps and humidity levels while lights are on? ...With lights off? not sure gets pretty hot with lights on, maybe 35 degrees celsius, and pretty cool with lights off
You need to lower the temperature for optimum results. Large difference between day and night temperatures cause problems.




Rusty Trichome: If the full-assed answers pointing to the wrong directions somehow, half-assed but straight ones are much more better than that and doesn't cause death! If smokyjlamo only logs-on once a week and reads mine and responds it doesn't not make things worse. It helps in any way.
But if he reads yours and acts what exactly you answered, there what you said can become true by you.
If you're trying to help, don't think over the other answers. Give yours and let the others give theirs too. Half-assed or full-assed. You're not an authority to decide that.
