ok, I can't post pics as of yet but first true leaves of my lemon skunk have turned yellow and crispy, with big blobs of black discoloration and have died. It looks like Its happening to the next leaves up aswell. I can see them turning a lighter color and getting the black blob things. She is just aproaching the three week mark, should I start feeding her or is it something else? Help would be much appreciated thanks. (sorry about the twin thread)

Oh yeh and the soil is just basic multi purpose compost. Probs does have some slow release nutes in it.

Nah no perlite yet but will use some when I transplant to a bigger pot. Just been water so far but I gave her a tiny bit of tomato feed today. I have been careful not to get water on the leaves but i guess it could be that.

could be the water on leaf's but it would have to have some kind of nut through it for it to burn the leaf's, she may have been crying out for some food if your ph it locking out nutrient intake

thanks for the help. Yeh I think the most likely thing is she is hungry. Tomato feed is ok yeh? I have another plant in the same soil under same conditions except the light is blue and its doing fine. The one with the problems is under a red light could that be the problem?. Seeing as the other one is ok in the same soil I don't think its the PH but the lemon could be more fussy about Ph. Hope I'm making sense here.

if your on a budget tomato feed has all it needs to grow. could be the light setup then, can you not position the 2 so they share both light sources

well I've been trying too keep the bulbs very close its hard to keep em close without one getting more of one kind of light if u catch my drift. But the one on the red was doing much better (growing faster and bigger with tighter internodes) untill the problem occured a few days ago. Temps are good aswell.

well for now I'm gonna say its a nutrient difficiency. If the problems still there in a few days I'll get a Ph tester. Thanks for the advice Mr green finger :)
