Big Problems With Dutch Treat

[harris7]

Ok something is happening to my plants

I first noticed the center of the growth tips turning purple (one plant is currently at that stage see pic)

Then the leafs started to cup downwards and loose color. Now some of the leafs are dying and Iâ??m quite worried

This strain is Dutch Treat, if that is any help.

I currently have them under fluorescent lights. They were transplanted 8 days ago.

I think this could be from putting the plants outside a few days ago. I think they all got shocked my clones really didnâ??t like it but they have bounced back and are doing really good.

Thanks for any help

oh... and my other plants are NL and they had a little shock but are looking really good now. and they have all been together through the whole thing

theyre in shock still a little..

move the lights closer the plants leaves are sposed to be growing up towards the lights, so if they're not then they gotta be closer.

what kinda nutes r u usin and how much?

[harris7]

only 1/4 strength all purpose miracle grow. only once.


Could this be caused from heat generated by the lights. I'm using T5 fluorescents and they are 2 inches away.

do you think they will recover

I have never used miricle grow soil or nutes but i have seen a few people with the same symptoms.but i have also seen people acheive exellent results with it as well .but look into it it could be the mg causing the plants to stress.

id back the lights up cuz t5 flouros are rly strong

thats just my opinion i rly dont know

Don't move them away from the light. I'm using T5 too. I get them close as possible and have never had issues. They make a tiny bit more heat than a reg floro, but you can get them reallllllly reallly close. two inches sounds fine. Thats as far as i keep it away from my seedlings and clones

What should the pH of soil be?

[harris7]

i'm told around 6.3-6.5 i dont have a pH meter yet. i plan to get one today.

just use distilled water
