Help ASAP Think my plants dieing.

IDN why the text I wrote didn't show up. But any way Im new and these 2 plants are over a mouth old. and I had them in a grow box and someone moved it one me and a light bulb burnt the one plant. and a few days later other started to do the same.

Looks like over watered. Soil is just plain dirt it looks like. Needs some lighter soil. Thats my guess from what i see.

Baby it and it will come back to life. The old growth is done, but the new growth looks good.

the smaller one looks like its getting choked off by the dirt give the undersides of the leaves a gently wipe down and try to get it a little more above the soil maybe transplant it into a new pot or just pull it out of that pot and break some of that top layer off back into the pot. might want to add just a little more soil to it as well cuz it looks like it has room for a couple more inches of soil.

I just started using fox farm. im a newbie and idn what lights and how much to use. and idn how often to water it. also whats the ideal soil run off ph and the ideal water ph intake?

at this stage 4 to 6 23w cfl's in the 6500k blue spectrum will do fine. for watering stick your finger into the soil up to the first knuckle, if it feels dry add water, if its wet dont add water. take a look at this should help you out some http://www.420magazine.com/forums/indoor-soil-cultivation/114733-ph-nutrient-uptake-charts.html

the lower leafs are lke crispy bacon. its leafs will brake off with the slight touch. also I keep adding dirt to the pots but I feel its only packin the dirt in there more.

if the dirt is packing in more go pick up some perlite and mix it into the soil, with those size pots maybe need a handful of perliter for a good mix

so a hand full per plant or all together? also what's ideal temp for day and the night. also is a home made co2 generator worth making?

handful per pot temps you want to keep anywhere from 73 low and 83 high for day and 65 low to 75 high for night. imo a co2 generator isnt even worth it in veg if you have good ventilation, later on during flower it might help

should I just add more dirt to the sides in the plants or should I have the hole plant sit up to be level with the pot? so in other words the pots full of dirt and the plant is siting up higher. or just thro some more dirt around stem?

bring the lower leaves up a little higher than pot level, and add some distance between the lower leaves and the dirt. you can add the space between the leaves and the dirt simply by removing an inch or two from the top, and instead of wasting the soil what you remove from the top layer you can just put back in at the bottom

but since your going to want to add some perlite to the mix for better drainage, try to break off as much of the soil from the root ball as possible, be very careful doing this so you dont rip off the roots. when you throw in the handful or so of perlite mix it up really good best way is by hand. then after the soil is mixed up put a little bit of the soil in the bottom of the pot hold the plant around the level you want it to be and slowly scoop handfuls of soil in making sure you spread the roots out some with each handful so they dont clump together. if you mixed the soil wet i wouldnt add any water for a day or two, if you mix it dry water enough that you get about 10% runoff (meaning if you put in a gallon you'd have 1/10 of a gallon drain out) then let her be for the next week. you might see some stress but that is transplant stress since you basically will be repotting her in the same pot or bigger if you choose to

ok so I had to leave for a 2 days and before I did I watered them and trimmed them and added soil.

Now a day later the plant on the right leafs curved up. and the plant on the left lower yellow leaf went from yellow to rotting away again.

the one with the yellowing leaf looks like its starting to get nute burn the other looks like the start of mag deficiency

also what are your temps in your cab?

as of now its on light cycle and its 80 and 51 humidity. and how do I got 2 different problems. I was gona do a repaint tm but I got wrong dam thing not perlite I got given some dam vermiculite instead.

also I was in a pc grow box but I moved it to my closet for now till I finish my grow box build.
