they are getting worst

Hi guys,

me again. just like a real newbie

my babys are getting worst. They are 2 weeks old, i've been flushing them for the last 5 days.

lights on 24/7 and they are 1 to 2 inches from the plant. i water them once a day, not to wet to much my cubes to let breed the roots. (i'm i right on this?)

anyway, what causes those brown spot, leafs turning yellow and limping down?

tks again.

Personally I think it's an overwatering issue. Rockwool can hold alot of water depending on the temps & lights your using. But how much water are we talking about? Like everyday.

Could be heat stress too. 24/7 lights a couple I inches above 'em. It's bound to create some heat. Bulbs? What is your lighting sytem?

400 ml a day.
temp is not high. i use neon warm and cool white. 40 w. + i have a fan at low.

my cubes are always wet. do you think i should stop watering for a day to leave it dry?

So i could put the lights up like 4 inches, stop watering for a day or 2, and put light on 18 and off 6? would that be good? if so, would those leaf, just become green again, or just fall?

No they will regain color & heal. Let the cbes go dry & maybe the roots will air up a bit. Your using no nutes right? None like zip

i used nutes after they sprout. Half strenght mix for a week. i did'nt know and i that's why i'm flushing them for the last days. i was thinking of renuting them this friday or so for a week, but with what i was told, i'm going to wait.

i have Summum nutes with B1.

I just saw too, that the roots are well grown under the cubes. so tomorrow i'll bury my cubes with the pellets in my pots. Where sould i put the driper. Right close to the steem or like 2-3 inches away?

tks again man.

Dude!! The seedling has enough of it's natural nutrients to feed off while she grows. This is obviously the problem now. Nute burn. You never start feeding at half potency with any plant none the less a sprout.

1/4the recommended dosage when you start nutes. & don't use nutes untill after a full month & some & she has at least 4sets of nodes on her.

Man flush her out. She should be ok. No nutes just water till she plumps up again
