I am so tired of people posting for help when they provide no info.

What ferts are you using? what strength? how often? ratio(npk)? How old are the plants?

Tell us something, anything about your grow, then we can help.

"My stomach hurts, why?" If you told a doctor that, think he could tell you?

whats npk? and i thought ur not supposed to use ferts until appx. 3 weeks into the growing process..

Anytime you take on any endevour you should have some preliminary research done. NPK is one of the most basic and absolute concepts one needs to know even at the most amatuer levels. N-P-K is a ratio of the three most essential nutients all plants need to sustain life. Nitrogen-Phosphorous-Potasium(K can be a confusing connection to make, but you cant have two P's). Get a book or you'll rely on this site way to heavily and be held up in your endeavor. And yes, soil contains enough nutes for 2-4 weeks generally speaking. Don't get dicouraged, just give more of your own intiative to obtain some basic knowledge on your own. This site is very helpful and many members give alot of their time to help eachother out.

yah man have to give us that kinda info



i thinkl u should just move the light away and put it where the beam is at angle\, move the pot away from it about inches or so and then see what happens.


Or you could not and just let it sm0ke it self.

move the light away and put it where the beam is at angle

that was my general idea.. attached is a drawout of my current plan in my grow drawer.. having the light contained somewhere else so tha the direct heat wouldn't attack my plants..

i wasn't thinking about applying it to the grow box until Cam's err occurred.. however when i make my growbox my plants (hopefully if they friggin grow) will come to size and strength and be able to handle it.. u definitely got me thinking now..

i downloaded a big bunch of guides so i'll be looking into that.. i'll post'm up later when i get home..

I noticed this site doesn't have any FAQ's. I go to:

www.overgrow.com

I have learned everything that I need to grow from that site. Check the FAQ's there. They have a mountain of good, reliable info.

And no, you aren't suppose to use ferts until about 3-4 weeks in, that's why I was asking. How old are your plants? Sorry if you said already, I missed it. If your plant is 3-4 into the veg cycle, and you said you haven't givin it any ferts yet, that's what it probably needs. I'll update and look for your pics later. Peace.

they're a few days old

Hey sorry it took me so long to reply. No, my babies are just babies- 3 days old, maybe 4. They have their first actual pot looking leaves, and the ends turned kinda yellow, but they arn't dried. I'm growing bag weed, I'm guessing the weed is High Midies, the shit I smoked wasn't bad. I have 1 50 or so watt Compact Fluro, it was the highest wat I could find, and then a 15 watt fluro I found around the house. They were really close to the plant, I made it so they were. I bet you that was the problem... too close. I backed the light away now so that its about 2-3 maybe even 4 inches away and they are still getting plenty of light. No fert yet.

I was just at your other thread there, you said you have MG soil. To me, it sounds like there IS added ferts in that soil. The tips are browning/burning already? Sounds like unneeded ferts are burning your plants up. Look again on the bag to see if it does have added ferts, if not, I have no clue what to tell you.
