Well, this might not be your problem, but be careful that you're not over feeding your plants. I see some crispy tips there. This is a big problem for a lot of first time growers, and I fried a couple of plants in the beginning myself. As for those brown patches you got on the leaves, could be...

I had this problem and the way I was able to fix it fast was by adding a soil acidifier like they use to grow blueberries. I mixed a little of this stuff on the top of the soil...I think it was about 2 tablespoons and after about a week the plant sprang back to life. For me, this was the...

This is my religion when growing hydro - "In DWC, a pH of 5.8 is widely considered to be optimal."

Well, the plant is starting to look really good. It's got a beautiful green color. So I would hate for mold to destroy it. It's sleep time for this Black Jack, so tomorrow I will give the water bleach thing a shot. By the way, I do see some algea growing on the very bottom of the pot. Thank you...

OK, this is a brand new bag so it wasn't used before. Can you tell me what your bleach to water ratio is?

Yeah, I'm not so sure about it. The reason is because its BIOBIZZ All Mix soil + a little California Red Worm Biogumus mixed in. I have used this soil combination with excellent results before. But, I also used a plastic grow container last time. It's still possible for this to be salts? It...

I did something stupid, and without researching, decided to grow a plant in one of those 'breathable' 20l fabric pots. Now I see a big problem and that is there is white mold growing on the outside of this thing. The plant is in the early stages....about 2 weeks. I'm not sure what to do about...

Or you could grow inside, and create a controlled environment. But if you can't, I see some strains that growers say are mold resistant. I was thinking...maybe you could stick a oscillating floor fan out there to give them some good air circulation? This will surely help. On the other hand...

I never had luck with this paper towel method. The problem with it is that the seeds tend to drown...become too wet. You want a foolproof method that will work everytime? Then do what I do and grab yourself some Jiffy Peat Pellets. They hold the right amount of water needed until sprout, and...

I don't think so. The plant is not big enough yet to be rootbound at this stage, and you really can't see his container in the photos.

I got the same problem right now, and its because of high alkaline soil. The runoff water is measuring 7.1 pH. At this range, the plant can't take in the nutrients it needs. I got a calcium magnesium deficiency and lime green leaves just like yours. I agree with Budzbuddha...they look...

Looks like I found my answer... it looks like adding sulphur will fix the pH. I just wanted to see if someone has some experience in this.

Before I begin, here's a tip. Never trust a bag of soil, even if it says 5.5 pH. I made a soil mix from palm dirt, biohumus, and perlite. The plant was doing good at first, but after a couple of weeks, I started to notice some nutrient deficiencies. I checked the water runout in my soil mix...

Thank God!!! :lol:

Someone's got to say it...so I will. Please forgive me if this is some satire thread and I don't understand what is going on. But if it's not...I'm wondering what the heck happened here? :confused: If I had a plant that looked like this, I'd toss it and start all over again. I've never seen a...
