Hello fellow growers.
This is my third growing but this time everything goes wrong so I would appreciate some help from more experienced growers.
I used to grown in a closet with fluorescent lights but this time I have chanced my grow room setup.
I grow in a room with dimensions 2x10 feet. I use 2 mh lights. One is 150w and the other is 400(550w in total). The distance of the plants from the light is about 1.5 foot. I leave my hand on the top of the plants for a few minutes and it doesnâ??t get uncomfortable so I guess the distance is ok.
The soil has 6.8ph and I havenâ??t used any fertilizers.
For some reason leaves of the plants started to turn yellow and dry. Some pointed upwards.
Some other plants had small brown spots on the leaves. Now they seem to die.
I donâ??t care to save those plants but I will start a new grow and I donâ??t want to make the same mistakes again.
What can be the problem?
Some of the possible reasons I think can be:
1: Over watering. I used larger pots this time and after the first watering it took almost a week for the soil to dry. After that I left them for 2 days in completely dry soil and that seemed to make the situation even worse,
2: Heat. The first few days the heat was high but after that I used the fun and now the place is cool. If that was the reason shouldnâ??t the plants recover? They only get worse.
3: Bad selection of soil. I use soil for indoor plants. It doesnâ??t contain any nutrients.
I attach some pics of the plants.
Thanks in advance for the help.
