HELP! MY PLANTS DYING and i dont know what to do!!! :(

[HazyEyes]

The ppm is 2-1-4. I think the light is a MH lamp - not too sure though - i won it in a poker game!

Thats not ur PPM's

I have heard rain water is the best thing to use - do you think that will be the best option until i can get a Ph kit or should i leave tap water out for 2 - 3 days?

if you are misting the leaves while the lights are on the water magnifys the lights and burns your leaves resulting in dead or crispy leaves. dont mist while lights are on. i had the same problem than i stopped and everything got better

 

[ArtickTrix]

the light could be to close to your plants
if your misting the leafs stop misting the leafs

His tips are burning he does not have hot spots on the leafs i still think its ph ...but u should alwas mist with ur light off

Rain water?? hmmm i dont know about that to tell u the truth, but it maybe better but it might be worse too. alot of polution goes into the air and create acid rain but don't quote me on that.

hehe. i love it. my neighbor let me borrow his PH meter yesterday. and my tap water is 6.5 and stays the same when i add the nuts...

 

[It's 5 o'clock somewhere]

I've used nothing but rain water since they started flowering. I have had no problems. I collect it in buckets from the valleys on my roof, no shit filled gutters. Rain water has a ton of micronutes that you have to add back with RO water. I don't live anywhere near a pollution filled environment. I'm fed with the great white north. I use the recomended amounts of nutes and about 2-3 tblspoons of mollasses....

You are taking a risk. The Ph could be fine or it could be royally F-ed up either way, but you sound like a gambling man. In your situation I'd go with the rainwater.

That said, just get a meter. Aquarium store, a store with pool supplies, ebay, hydro shop, etc.

Pure rainwater, or, more accurately, rainwater unpolluted by any man-made
products, has a pH of 5.5 to 6 or so, rather than 7, because it absorbs
some carbon dioxide from the air. Part of the dissolved CO2 reacts with
the water to produce carbonic acid.

I would calabrate it just to make sure its not throwing numbers out.

looks to me that you might have nute lockout or your light is too close... try flushing and lifting your light another foot and see what happens.

For starters, never use halogen lights. They are not fit for growing(like you didn't know that) Be sure to have control of your PH and EC.(too high or too low you might kill your plant) = Not Preferable, lol dont know what the policy here is for posting links, so mail me at [email protected] and ill hook you up with a good book and maybe a few good "teaching films". Peace

Here is your picture. I think it needs better light. Have you started feeding yet?
