Plant yellowing pls help

Musik519 · Jul 14, 2010

hello im new at this so im sorry if this problem is obvious to everyone else. this plant is about 3-4 weeks old and its still tiny. i know i dont have enough light cause it stretched out but i dont have the money right now to invest into more lights. this yellowing just started last night though, it was fine until then besides the light thing.

could be nute burn. What u feeding it? what kind of soil

cruzer101 · Jul 15, 2010

Looks to me like you need to water closer to the plant.
Thats a small root system you have there and that blue feeder is probably stuck in the soil a couple inches down.
(if that is one of those)

what lights are using , i know u said u cant afford anymore lights but your plant looks piss weak atm if u dont get a better light i wouldnt bother with the effort of growing a twig. looks like nute burn , thats not Miracle grow soil is it ? with the 3month feeD?

The soil im using is called premium nature mix its an organic all purpose potting soil. when i bought it the person said that and miracle gro was their best stuff and i read that miracle grow is trash. im using two 40 watt 48in florescent tubes, one 140 watt gro light and one normal cfl i threw in for some extra lighting which is obviously not helping

That light sounds more than sufficiant for the size of plant. Water could be an issue, are youi using any fertilizers?

Lighting is not the issue i have germinated much heather and bigger ones in complete darkness. Next time u germinate go over to the home depot and they have these little black pucks.( http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/uimages/kitchen/2008_05_05-Pellets3.jpg )

mix em with water and they grow to a few inches of dirt. Plant your seed in there. Let the plant root right out of this thing. then put it in the all purpose soil which has been drained with water a few times. This will help from nute burn. Seems to me your all purpose soil probably is too strong for the little guy

thank you and i should just start all over then? this plant is basically dead? ill go out and buy those pucks right now. So my lighting is good, or is it just good enough for my situation?

Light is fine, if u plan on flowering with them your yield is going to be small but everyone has to start some where. If the plant keeps growing then it might make it, if it shrivels and falls over its done
