2.5 weeks ago I germ'd some seeds given to me by my stepdad (who's been growing for 30+ years.) It is called WJ (Wandering Jane) and was developed (secretly, of course) by a horticulturalist at UGA for the stealthy home grower. It grows quickly without needing as much light as other strains and the buds are khaki-orange in color. They have a citrusy smell with a slight hint of skunkiness and the high will blow your mind.

My grow space for 2 plants (WJ and a ghanie) is a closet 4X3X5'. My lighting is a T8 shop light (6500k) that puts out about 7200 lumens. The lights are 3-4 inches above the plants.

Now to my problem. 2 or three days ago the leaves on my WJ began to brown at the edges. I have reviewed the FAQ on plant problems and I cant figure out if its a deficiency, nute burn, or something else. I've fed them once using Peters All Purpose Plant Food (24-8-16) at 1/4 strength. Can one of you guys (or gals) take a look at my pics and give some advice?

Thanks and Happy Tokin!

BTW, my digital camera is cheap and doesn't have a macro option so I had to scan the leaf with the worst browning.

To strong
Here is what I use

Veg stage

1-3-6 (BC Grow) with a supplement of 3-0-2 (BC Boost)

Flower stage
1-4-7 (BC Bloom) with supplement 3-0-2 (BC Boost) for the first 3 weeks then my supplement changes to 2-11-11 (Awsome Blossom) until the last week that is just plain water and a little molasses. I always run h2o2.

Thanks for the input cloud. I'll def look for some ferts with lower nutes. Should I flush this baby or just let her (fingers crossed) be?

i've discovered what is ailing my plant. Symphilids! i saw them after i watered and did some research. i'm off to home depot as soon as they open to grab some garden safe. i didnt see them in my other plant's soil but i gotta nip this problem in the bud (no pun intended) before both of my plants are lost.

anyone got any advice?

Stop with the nutrients..(they are way too young)..Flush with fresh plain water...(if in soil, three time your volum)
Feed only fresh water for a few days and see what you get...Your little seedlings are way too young to hit it with thoes nutes.....You need to be at about 600-800ppm's and with what you are feeding them, i would guess you are way too high...

You dont even need nutrients at this stage. If you use nutes it needs to stay (no more), than 600-800ppm's
The shit, "and yes shit" you are using is killing you....Flush it with fresh water (plain water atleast 3X the volume of the pot..."3gal pot = 9gal flush" and give it a few day to a week to recover , and throw the peters shit away.......................................................................................................
