What's wrong with my plants?

[Kush28]

These plants are a few weeks old, grown from bagseed, grown in Miracle Grow Organic. I just fed them yesterday for the first time with Liquid Karma and Pro Blend Grow, and some epsom salt. I have been watering the whole time with ph water about 6.7. The lowest set of leaves have been turning yellow, and then developing brown spots. I could not get a definate answer on what type of deficiency this is. The new growth is not turning yellow and looks okay. Is this Magnesium deficiency? What's wrong here?

I had the same problem I just went to the garden center and got some fish emulsion and it fixed what ever that problem is and the plant shot up like an inch and a half with nice leafy growth

That's just a baby! She really doesn't need all those nutes yet. You should give it something with a good organic nitrogen content (i.e. bat guano, fish emulsion) and that's it. She is burning from too much fertilizers I would think.

This is why MG sucks.


It looks overwatered...

Thanks for the input so far, I know its not nute burn because I didn't add nutes until all my plants were starting to have the lower leaves turn yellow with brown spots.

When did you add the nutes?(how many days ago?)

Yesterday in the morning. Should I remove leaves that are more than 50% dead?

Your adding nutes and your using MG organic???

MG organic should have nutes in it, read the bag, see how much nutes are in the soil already. You should be feeding strait water.....and not too often.

yep, overwatering and nute burn (too much nutes too early)

NO, do NOT cut any of the yellow leaves, seedlings have a huge capacity for regenerative growth... but any brown spots should be cut off (that tissue is already dead).

just FLUSH , flush then flush again and then let it sit for at least 4 or 5 days without watering again. I would also increase the light exposure (intensity and photoperiod) and put a low intensity fan on it... good luck!

I agree with some of this. But please dont drowned your plant. She is already over watered. Let the soil DRY OUT, wait 2 days if you have to, when its dry and crumbly you water.

Theres 2 different types of wilting and a lot of new growers dont realize this. Your plants will droop from being watered too much, but if you wait a few days, the soil drys out, the plant perks up, but if the soil gets too dry the plant will wilt. It wont die right away, a wilting plant can be watered and will perk right up. So if your plant is wilting, you should ONLY water if the soil is bone dry. Otherwise its wilting from overwatering.

I would rather under water then water too often.

Let your soil dry, and feed strait water, fill up some bottles and let the water sit for a day so the Chlorine can evaporate too.

I would lay off the nutes for a while. If you only fed them once yesterday then that is not the problem. Just relax and only give them water the next time you feed. which shouldn't be for a few days. So get some water and let it sit out and dechlorinate. If your leaf still has green then it is still alive. Brown spots can be removed or they will fall when the leaf dies.
