So now that I know the plant is not dying I am trying to get it back to its best, however, I need some help. For those of you who saw my other post you already know, but for anyone who hasn't, here's some info on the plant. It is 4 weeks old (today). It was doing fine until about a week ago. It started to droop and looked even worse than it does now. It has perked up a bit but now the bottom set of leaves is turning Yellow/Bright green on the sides and tips(just happened today). I feel like this is early in the problem and hopefully can be fixed. I have looked online for solutions, but no mater what i find it'll never be the same variables as my plant so...here is its info.

Box: 4x2x2 grow box (mylar wrapped)
Pot: About 1.5 gallons aof soil in it (give or take)
Soil: Miracle grow potting mix type
Light: 5 100w CFL's (about 6" from the plant)
Air: Humidifier in the box.
AVG TEMPS= 83-88
AVG HUMIDITY= 50-60
Water: tap water that is always left out for a couple days.
Vents: bottom and top vents with fans and carbon filters.

My watering habits are probably whats wrong, but i am just unsure. I dont know how much water it should get and am scared to over/under water. I usually just check with my finder and only water every 5 days or when it is crusty dry on top. For about the last week or so the humidity has dropped hard and i couldn't get it to raise. So I was forced to buy a humidifier last night. So for a couple of days it had around 30% to 40% humidity and 85 degrees. The soil is the MG and could be the problem? Should it need nutrients? I just want some opinions on what i should to to this plant.

soil ingredients:

0.21 - 0.07 - 0.14

Total nitrogen.........0.21%
0.12% ammoniacal nitrogen
0.09% nitrate nitrogen
Available phosphate..........0.07%
soluble potash..............0.14%
Iron...............0.10%

I need some help... thank to anyone who can.

To much nitrogen, shitty temps, shitty humidity, shitty soil, drops the lights closer during flowering, add a fan, your plants need more water than every 5 days at those temps and humidity. Flush your soil, wait 2 normal waterings, give half strength nutes, water, then start upping the ppm. Water with like 2l/half gal. Water when pots start to feel light/top of soil is started to get drier, not always needed to have the plant starve.

My temps are no good? And thanks for the other stuff you said, I may try that.

70-80 range is what you should aim for, fluctuating temps slow overall growth down regardless of temp range.

Temps too high, watering not frequent enough like Sili said, and I don't think that looks like any MG I have seen, not enough perlite, and it still looks like you have enough N from the pics, but he's also right about you being at the time you can start feeding, and raise your pots up a little closer to the lights, as long as your hand between the light and closest leaf isn't too hot.

I just added another fan and lowered the humidity. I was afraid I was watering to much. Yeah I know, it is mulchy looking MG and Ill aim to get the lights 2" away or so. What do you recommend I feed it with? I have more perlite i can add as well? Also I have better soil to put it in, do you think i could just transplant it?

Perilite wont do anything for you at this point, get humidity to 45%~, find a good base nutrient line your willing to fork the cash for.

PLANT IN THE PICTURES ABOVE:

Okay well I'll just get some kind of nutrient for it, I want to try to see what I can do for to salvage this plant. I got the humidity down to the 45-50% range and temps are now in the 75-80 range. Light is a little closer to what I hear people recommend (3-4"), and I got a fan in there moving the plants around. Someone said I can not flush this soil because it is MG...is that true? What to do...throw it out and stop wasting time or try to fix it????? Can I transplant the thing to better soil?? (such as fox farm or even regular potting soil?)

NEW PLANT IN MG MOISTURE CONTROL:
Next question...... i have a new little guy in some MG moisture control soil, just barely poking through. I know the moisture control works better than the shitty stuff i'm using in this bad plant..so my question to you is, how can i at least attempt to keep this new one alive? It is in a 6" pot (a little over 1000ml of soil).


NEW SEED THAT IS NOT GERMINATED:

okay so I have a fox farm soil dealer (also a hydro shop) about 20 minutes from me (didn't even know)....ill make a trip there this weekend. I will be planting a new seed this weekend with fox farm soil. How do you guys suggest i should get from this place. Fox farm soil AND fox farm nutes?



I feel like everyone on these forums has helped me get my box conditions right, but now I need to get some advice on the best combo for soil and nutes. This seems to be what im lacking.....All your guys help is wanted and appreciated.

I suggest Advanced Nutrients Sensi series Grow and Bloom for nutrients. Very easy for even math challenged persons to calculate feed mixes. Excellent results. Ignore the morons who hate AN and who bitch about the pics on the bottles.

Hey big dog! I would also get youself a Ppm meter aswell! It will help you & your plants, with feedings.. ;)

Hey! Check my girls out! Here's the link https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/621620-danks-update-come-friends-take-new-post.html
I will be giving out FREE BEANS to anyone that subs up to this grow!! The strain will be of a 100% pure Sativa, I have also done a cross of the pure Sativa, with one of my 8 Ball Kush. A friend on here helped me name it, "8 Ball Bomb". Being the pure Sativa I named it Hubba Bubba Bomb. So you anyone that subs up can have there choice of either strain, or both.
Just will have to wait for the beans of the "8 Bomb" cause those are still flowering. Won't be to awfull long now!! :mrgreen:

So don't 4 get to sub! Also pass it along bro.. Thanks, Dank.

Ps. Your babies are looking good bro! They'll be ok once you get everything in tune bro! You'll see.. ;)
