 Please help save my friend's plants! PICS | |
So my foreign friend doesn't know english and so I'm posting this for her:
She started with 10 white widow seeds from Nirvana seeds and Dr. Chronic gave her a free 10 mystery pack.
She planted 12 in a 50/50 mix of peat moss and perlite. 9 sprouted, but were stretching bad so she put them under a 400w mh bulb. It seems the bulb was possibly too close, the plants were growing but their stems were realllllyyyy thin and they were falling over, so eventually all but 2 died.
She planted some more, and they came up. This time she used a 600w mh bulb in a vented reflector placed 3 feet above the plants. They were watered every other day and seemed to be doing fine. After they got about 3-4" tall, she started giving them half dose of high nitrogen soluble fertilizer every other watering (every 4 days).
They continued to grow, but then started getting spots and browned edges/tips. She checked the PH of the tap water, and it tested 7.6 with an aquarium liquid ph test. The last watering, she mixed some vinegar with the water to drop the ph down to 6.8. I want to add that these plants are 5 weeks old, why so small compared to others I've seen?
Do these pictures look like PH problems? Nutrient burn? EH?
Thanks
