Yellow Tips? How are they doing?

**HappyGoTurtle** · 03-11-2007, 01:19 PM

Hi we are new growers and are looking for some advice on how our babies are doing. We have a small set up in a closet using a flouresent tube light and a 40watt 2650 lumens bulb. They are probably about 3-4 weeks into veg. We noticed today that our smaller plant has some yellow tips, maybe heat burn or overwatering? I know we need a fan in there and will get one asap! I'll post some pictures and let me know what you think! We havent done any fertilizing, just used some worm castings on top of soil, we do water it every day which we have now read that probably isn't such a good thing. Anyway, here they are!

Oh yeah I don't know if you can see the stem or not but its looking kind of...chewed up and bumpy like?

Hey, your plants look fine

you should have seen my first plants that made the first few weeks, those were a pity worth crying for

really, it is just a little tip, if all your leaves start turning yellow then it would be a problem to consider, but this, just relax

sweeet thats always good to hear for a new grower

guess we will just cut back on the watering, also at what age are you supposed to start flowering and change the lights to 12/12?

as a guideline you should take that the plants need between 8 to 12 weeks to mature. since mature plants only can give the maximum yield in buds you should wait until this with flowering them.
if in this time height may become a issue, you can top them as well tie them down. the best is to combination both right from the start, so now

is that inch, cows or horseshit? i guess inch so you will have to re-pot them sooner then later so the can grow some more roots. and roots my friend are the foundation for big buds, and big buds mean not just a great yield
