    Leaves curling inward with brown spotting

    I have brown spotting on two plants which were moved from smaller containers. These are indoor grown from an unknown strain (bag seed). I did add a light fertilizer mix, and pH levels are okay. Any suggestions as to what the cause may be?

    Leaves scorched by grow light

    Hey guys, A FOAF has two plants that have some partially scorched leaves when a reflector came down and the CFL touched a few leaves. Does he keep the leaves on the plant, trim off the burnt areas, or removed the damaged leaves altogether? Bob

    That makes sense. I am reading the GrowFAQ now. Have to hit the hardware store on the way home. Thanks.

    Yellow leaves falling off at three weeks

    No I am using a blue grow spotlight. See the attached picture, bulb on the left most side. If I place the Sylvania grow light closer to the plants, they will definitely wilt. If I am understanding you, then I place a CFL (what wattage?) over each plant. When do I switch to the blue grow lights?

    Accuracy of electric vs reagent pH testers

    Which do you consider more accurate: reagent testers or electronic ones? In testing soil recently, two separate reagent tests indicate a soil pH about 5.5 to 6. Using an electronic probe from Mosser Lee shows a pH around 7.
