what kind of soil r u using....water cycle? lights? nuts? any growing info would help.

i am a new grower i have been using tap water, i am using some compost mixed with a little dirt from the garden, the plants have been doing fine, is just over the last 3 days most of the plants have been dying, i did have them sitting on the windowseal and they were doing fine i down have them in a small cupboard with bright light

since there is a problem, I would recommend starting with some soil mix from a store. it is not usually a good idea to bring dirt out of your backyard into a grow, as it can harbor pests and diseases. there is plenty of good advice on soil mixtures in the GROWFAQ Indoor Soil

you might also want to buy a cheap ph test kit (possibly on ebay or the paper strips from local hardware/swimming pool or hydro shops.)

tap water PH can be way out of step for proper soil grow, and that can cause all kinds of nutrient lockups and problems.

you might want to buy distilled water?

from the pic could it look like i water to much?

Does not look like owerwatering to me.
As pple above said get proper soil from the store (get seed starter mix) and proper water (let stand tap water 24 hours before using it) .

Your compost may have too much ph. Use some perlite & soil or some other medium. Buy ph tester $10. Also let your water sit for two days, (let chlorine evaporate, may burn leaves). What sort of light are you using ?
GOOD LUCK

sounds good what ph should the soil be, and how do you go about making the ph higher or lower

I let my water sit for about a week to make sure that its clean and I have noticed a huge diffrince because I use to water them not letting the water sit and they were having a bit of problums, and if you grow more plants you migh want to buy distiled water or buy a few 5gal water contanors and once your water sits for 3 to 7 days put the water into the contanor so that you can always have distailed water on hand

Happy Toking TC pce

Keep your ph around 6.2 - 6.8. vinegar - down, baking soda - up , Use a little at a time till you get used to it. You can also buy commerical shit at the store, but they cost more

I watched a High Times video and my friend also told me that

Vinegar - PH down
Baking soda - PH up

but the best way is to test it your self to make sure if thoes do the ring thing

ok thanks a lot mate, my soil is just below 7 atm so it seems ok, if you put plant food in with the water do you recon this could change the soil ph
