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.
