hi, three weeks ago my friend gave me 2 plants because he had too many at the time, so I took them off his hand thinking it would be just water and any source of light. I now know this isnt the case after do a lot of research because one of my plants is starting to dye. Im confused though because they have been in the same conditions and the other plant is doing ok.
The temp is about 70f. And i had them under a 150w halogen but now I now how bad this is for the plants I changed the lights to 2 9w cfl's and tomorow Im putting in 4 more 50w cfl's (plants kept 3 inches away from light). this should be enough light for now in a small grow room , for these size plants right?? (roughly 5000lumens)
i water every 2 to 3 days but with tap water but Im going to buy some distilled water for them tomorrow to help control the ph, do I need a ph reader if Im buying distilled water??
the only thing i now of that may have killed one of the plants is that I added the full dosage of nutrients at 3 weeks i now no it should only be a quarter of that and after 3 weeks, do you think this is what is killing it ??. I have flushed the soil.
Also on the healthy plant, the tips of the two lowest leaves are beginning to go yellow, ph, over/under watering???
Ill get some pictures tomorow.
Any answers, tips or future suggestions will be much appreciated thanks.
