My plants leaves tips are curling upwards and drying.
They are 3 weeks old (seedlings) and I don't give them nutrients yet. The temperature in a box is around 77F and air circulation is very good.
Does anyone have an idea what's going on?

Rockwell is not a good media for the plant. you had to move it to a soil or hydro. I get you lost it already. the bad thing is that rockwell keeps water and does not have any nutrients in it

can you find them on the web to show us? white ones I know usually are in the soil and jump like a hell. in this case you need to reduce the watering and keep the top soil layer dry.

Could I get the forums opinion? I'm using an auto watering pot. I used it as a normal planter and wondering if this is keeping the soil from drying out. Over watering or nitro toxicity?

Appreciate it.

Hey guys I'd appreciate opinions on this. This is a Trainwreck 3.5 weeks since flip, my lights are DIY COB LEDs, 4@50watts each. Its in a 10 gal pot with a soil mix of FFOF, base soil, DTE Vegan mix and Biolive, worm castings, and kelp meal. I have been using water only + one compost tea 3 weeks ago. My water is from the tap, comes out at under 40 ppms and I bubble it for 5 days minimum. Hopefully you can see in the pics the older leaves under the top canopy are fading to a light green, but the veins are staying dark green.
Had the same problem happen on my last plant, a white widow, also started noticing it about the same time into flower and the problem got progressively worse but it stayed alive long enough to harvest. Yet that plant I grew hempy style non-organic which intrigues me.... I've read LEDs can make plants use more magnesium than normal lights so that is my first guess? What do you think?

Can any one please help me what is this ?????

First pic looks like bad nute burn. 2nd pic looks like not enough N pre flip. Warm rinse the roots of the first one if she don't get better and or flush no feed for 10 days and watch for recovery. Good luck and welcome to RIU.

I'll tell you what I think is wrong if you tell me how to post full-size pics...

hahaha umm where it said upload file pick what picture and it had a little bar under saying Full size and I clicked it

You either over fed them or you have a nutrient lock-out from an incorrect ph.

When I mix the soil I only put a bit of blood and bin in with it haha

Ok so off the bat your soil is warm...

Do you feed any teas or toppings?

Do you ph your water before feeding?

Do you let the soil dry out to make sure the roots get enough oxygen?

No I don't use any teas or ph test the water at first it was on the first bottom leaves just yellow tips and the overnight that happened

Blood meal will lower the ph of your soil. Without any other buffers it might be dropping down to the point your plant can't take up nutrients it needs. I don't know your ratios...

I am almost willing to bet $5 in seed money that you have a ph problem.

What could I use to get it back up ? And thanks for the help I'll go get a ph tester and I'll let you know hahaha

I really don't know. I use Happy Frog out of the bag and use Botanicare nutes. I just know what works for my strain in my environment. It's going to change a little for every grower and every room.

Before you start worrying about buying anything else to add to the soil, get a ph tester and see what's going on. Your ph isn't the end-all-be-all either. You can't just go adding 200ml of everything on the planet and get a 6.3 ph and think it's good to go. Ppm comes into play along with everything else.

In soil, less is more. Your plants will let you know when they need something... and it's easier to feed than to unfeed.

Where's the pictures? I get an email telling me of this thread, and no pics! Useless.

why cant I see pics on first page

Does my plant look healthy?

Does anyone know what's the go with this ???
