ok, well...

Don't know exactly how old the plants are, since I didn't really keep track of this grow, just started one day.
They've been on 12/12 for 5 days now.
Bagseed.
The lighting is 6/23w CFLs, in a double Rubbermaid-tub growbox - Well vented, plants are not too close to lights.
I'm feeding them miracle gro professional formula all purpose plant food. it's the only plant food around here that's 20-20-20. It's not the basic one you see in home depot... that one is like 15-27-13 or something. When they were young i gave them a really dillouted mixture, but i've upped it, as they've grown.
They're in organic choice potting mix.
I water them every other day or so. there is adequate drainage in the pots they're in, but I don't over-water them anyway.

I have a soil test kit, but I have to pick up some distilled water before i can use it. so i can't check the soil just yet.

Hope that helps

Whee! Thanks for the info. Now just sit back and wait for the calvary. And post some pics if you can.

heres some pictures.

first one is new growth on the retarded plant.

second one is the "good" plant.

on the good plant, it's not as prevalent as the retarded plant, which leads me to believe that the abnormal root structure of the retarded plant is aiding this deformity. but it scares me that it's happening to both plants, so it must be something I am doing to them. what is it?

some tips are crispy too, just beyond the brown area, and will easily snap off if you crush them with your fingers. Just the tips though, the rest of the leaf seems to be fine.

Okay, my retarded opinion is overfert. Flush them and let them chill out for a bit. Next watering, give them 1/2 strength bloom nutes. :thumbsup:

Doggone it! Where did all the grow gurus go? I'll try to scare one up for you so you don't have to rely on my limited knowledge. In the meantime, here's a link International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums - The Complete guide to Sick Plants,pH, and Pest troubles!

bloom nutrients? is that a fertillizer heavy in phosphorous?

[Bree1978]

IA, it looks like you overfed or have salt build up. I would water well with plain ph'd water. Bloom nutes should have a higher phosphorus number, but not HUGE, it's a waste...and causes stretching (I got that info from either KindPrincess or Scarlet Sky).

Yessir.
edit: What Bree said.
G'mornin Bree!

Primus, check my growlog for pics of what happens if you have a really high P nute.

BTW, Primus rules!!!

No, my dear. Primus Sucks!

Thanks for the growinfo. I'll try to find some bloom ferts.

Also, how do I add rep? I don't see any buttons or links. I know how to do it on other forums, but on this one I can't seem to figure it out.

I don't think you can yet, til you reach fifty posts. But if you can, it is on each of the individual posts- sigified as a gray scale right after the word permalink in the right hand corner. :jointsmile:Bree

No, my dear. Primus Sucks!

No no no. Green Jelly Sucks.

Sheesh.
