Hi I am brand new to this and 2 weeks into my first grow. I am using a small area as I have no commercial intentions. My plants are all just 3 or 4 inches high and the bottom leaves (mostly) have started yellowing and some are curling at the edges. I have discovered it's a lack of nutrients. I have been adding : 'Ionic - Grow' to the water and watering them with about 100mls water every other day. I'm using a 400w MH for this stage with a 24hr sched'. I thought the 'Grow' provided nutrients. Do I have to use seperate foods to resolve the problem or should I increase the amount of 'Grow' (currently using 7ml per litlre). Also, I can not afford to spend any money for up to a week, is there anything domestic I can use? I have heard cinnamen mentioned and also sugar. Can I add these to the water, if so, how much. Sorry for the length of this post.

Dude ...

You're gonna have to spend a little money in order to get a good return. Here's some great soil nutes

Vegging: Peter's "Jack's Classic" 20-20-20.

Flowering: Peter's "Jack's Classic Blossom Booster" 10-30-20.

Here's where to order by mail: http://www.jacksclassic.com/

Only use at 1/4 strength throughout the grow. Good luck ...

I tried the link for Jack's Classics but they only deliver to the US and I am in the UK. Thanks anyway, I will jut have to wait a couple of days and get some Fertiliser to boost the N & P which I think is the problem.
