Ok, so the two plants in question are in the same grow cabinet, get the same amount of light, the same watering and are subjected to the exact same temperature and humidity. Both plants are still in small plastic cups.
Final potting container will be 3 gallon air-pots. (if I can keep the plants alive that long)
For the first 2 weeks I only used de-chlorinated tap water that had sat for 48 hrs while being aerated.
I'm using the General Hydroponics "Flora Series"......I called GH and consulted with the technician there and he indicated that I should start using the nutrients on week 3 (this is week 3) at 30% strength .....this is week 3 and I started using the Nutrients as directed.
PH is always kept at 6.0
So if you look at plant 1 - it is full and the leaves are reaching out....it looks good in my opinion. But if you look at plant 2 - it is shriveled and wilted......all the leaves are drooping and it looks sick! The leaves do not appear "brown" or discolored in anyway......they actually have a really good green color......but the plant looks terrible.
Yep - I'm the newbie - but I'm trying to learn as much as possible while doing this and any advice I could get from the members here would be greatly appreciated.
