The grow is in soil and its in a giant tub, I managed to get 5 living plants and some are good and others are... eh. Sorry some images are a bit dark

the operation

plant 1, growth froze for awhile but came back pretty strong.

some little burn spots?

plant 2 , tall and for a while looked like a palm tree.

anything i should do about these weird leaves?

plant 3, seems to be pretty solid

again a little burn spot, are these bad?

plant 4, nice a bushy, good stems

same little spot..

plant 5, im not too worried about this girl

should i just cut that weird half one?

anything helps really. never grown before so i have decided to keep the things small (small pots) and and growing them in normal miracle grow using just distilled water. 42w 65k and 38w 27k CFL lights. the first little one has its own 23w 65k light about 2" away.


time to smoke a bowl after that bull with uploading the images!

so they're just a little over watered?? should i just go a couple days without watering them? i did that and a couple leaves started looking bad so i watered them and next day they were almost back...

the top few inch of the soil should dry completly before each watering, if it takes too long, say 5 days, water less, if your watering a lt every time try half every time, and increase temps at the pots to encorage the soil to dry quicker.

i'd go another week or 2 if your aiming for 2.5ft, will give them a chance to get over the moisture stress first.

over watering you are. not under watering. you need to water less see how your leaves are glossy and hang down? they should be perky and reaching up to grab the light the excess whater is weighing them down

you said you have miracle grow soil? is it the moisture control type? if so you should be waiting 4-5 days between watering, and if you dont have a fan to circulate air through your plants get one wet soil+stagnant air= bug problems

dry on top? or dry all the way through? roots need oxygen as well as water

it was dry all the way through so i put a good amount over all the soil to kind of moisten it up in there. they;re already looking better so idk. I think the one was hanging down because there was a light below it...
