Hey ya'll, most of my plants are turning brown or have this brownish hue to them, pics attached please help.

Plants are 16 days old, under 150W 5000k MH. Watered every other day. Just started using 18-18-18 nutes at 1/4 strength yesterday (browning started a 6 days ago).

it's weird that it's browning out from the middle like that- bet that's a good clue to a solution in the grow faq pics... good luck!

could be a calcium def. could be over-nute-ing, also check for heat stress. it's fine to water every day, sparingly, and cut out the nutes to be safe. get the soil flushed. let us know as much as possible.

browning started before the nutes, and browning didnt start till about a week and a half into growing, so can't be the nutes in the soil right?

Heat stress? I'll try to lower the temp abit, it's hitting about 29C.

Calcium def.? What can i do to resolve it?

I tried the FAQ, can't seem to find anything remotely similar to what i'm facing.

ok if it started before the nutes, it might very well be a calcium def, if you are watering correctly. also, i dont know what 29c = in Frnht, but it should be about 75ºf

not just in the room, but check the area around the plants to make sure the light isnt to harsh on them

that shouldnt really cause burning but it could be hotter on the plants themselves. def get it down and get some fans running. fans also stimulate better stalk growth
