Aight so I have a few plants that are sick and I can't quite figure out what is going on.

I was thinking that it might be a nitrogen deficiency, but before I give them some I wanted to make sure.

I have 4 plants under a 90 watt led ufo light in my closet
the soil is a mixture of organic miracle grow soil (60%) and perlite (40%)
the temperature is around 75 degrees.

many of the leaves have brown spots
the new growth has brown tips
some of the leaves are yellow, and the bottom ones are very pale yellowIMG_2452.jpgIMG_2454.jpgIMG_2451.jpgIMG_2455.jpg

Thanks for the help guys! a couple more questions, so I decided to cut up a couple lemons and juice em then mixed it with water and waterred the plants, think that'll work?
I'm gonna buy some ph testers tomorrow.
If they still need some nitrogen, at what point do you think I could start adding some?

thanks again!

if u were gunna try to adjust ph without checkin it first the best course of action would have been to use dolomite lime. u could start adding now just start at 1/4-1/2 strength so u dont accidentally burn it.

Looks like nute lockout due to ph troubles. Lemon Juice will drop your ph even more. Check your PH first and see if you need to raise or lower it. Nutrients are mostly available in soil between PH 6.5 - 6.8. Hope it helps.

Bought a digital ph tester and some lime, the ph level is around 6.0 so I'm gonna try and raise it :)
Thanks for the help

I had problems with ffof, sunshine mix and MG soils it all dirt. I don't like having to add stuff from the get go. Your paying good pay for your dirt it should be right, right out of the bag!
