Guide for Diagnosing Plant Problems

ok so i screwed up and thought that by adding a reflective material to one side of the grow that it would increase light to that area, it did but also cut off airflow, and the plants near that area all have dying leaves and the buds are freaking turning the hairs from there nice thick white to thin red hairs. i think the plants are dying and im only in the 4th flowering week. three of the plants i had to cut and all the hairs on them were red. well the dying ones are still there, but i had to cut back all the dead leaves which were almost all of them. im pretty sure those are screwed. i also cant get the soil to air out there and its always wet, it does have two drains. im left with two plants. a sativa which is crazy looking-never grew one before and a hardy indica. both of these were not on the side with the reflector, and the soil is fine there. but this morning i woke up and my indica had this at the bottom.

hey im on a budget how can i add nitrogen or phosporus to my plant cheaply ??? One of the two leaves on the bottom (the first pair) has a yellow blotch on the tip and its turning a purlpe hue under my leaves, growth seems a lil stunted

Miracle Grow can be used and it's cheap. Get the one for tomatoes to start with. But start at 1/2 strength.

thanks xD im gonna check that out soon

Your lights are to far away. With florescent lights you need to keep them as close to the plants as you can without burning them. Probably wouldn't hurt to give then more hrs of light if you can. CFL's are better than the tubes also, If you have to use florescent that is the way to go.

Chances are she will be ok. How are you keeping her? How big of a pot is she in? I've chopped some way down and they always came back. What kind of lights and nutes?

i got a plant that alot of tips are curling up. like it wants to pray. its in the veggie state, about a month and a half old. any ideas??

Could use pics, It is always best to post pics when having a problem and more info on how you are doing your grow.. Sounds like lights to close maybe? To hot on the tops?

There is no way to avoid salt if you use chemical nutes, there is a lot in them. And if you get to much build up it can hurt the plants. If you think there it to much you can give them a good flush with some plain water. But you will always see some.
