lots of ideas actually... here they are
1.) Moisture Issue: if the light is too close to the plant it will draw moisture from the leaves, drying them out.
Solution: If temps are too high make sure to use a fan to push the air around your grow room, also use a
an extra fan in your grow room to exhaust the air being pushed around by the other fan. Another
way to keep the moisture in the grow room is to place a cereal bowl filled halfway up with pH
balanced water(6.3 - 6.
. When the room gets dry the water will evaporate into the air and onto
your plants leaves.
2.) Under-Watering: The plants leaves may show signs of cell damage with brown spots if the plant isnt recieving
the proper amount of water to feed itself.
Solution: Go to your local garden shop/hardware store and buy a moisture wand. It will be much easier to
determine when your plants need water and when they dont! This is of major importance to the plants
health. It will also help to determine the plants feeding schedule. Also it will prevent you from watering
too much as well as too little. They cost about $15
3.) Using Too Many Nutrients: If you arent sure of the proper dosage of nutrients to water then the possibility of
nute burning your plants is very high. A huge beginner mistake!
Solution: Don't feed your plants any nutrients or plant-food untill at least 4 weeks into the veg cycle. When you
do feed your plants nutrients/fertilizers/plant-food make sure you DO NOT follow the dosage instructions
on the package! The instructions are given based on a variety of different plants, not marijuana. Begin
feeding with 1/3 the amount that the instructions tell you. Gradually over time increase the dosage.
One more good rule of thumb for feeding your plants is this... for the veg cycle, use Tomato Plant Food, for
the flower cycle use Rose Plant Food.
Soil w/ Plant Food: If you are using a soil bought from a garden shop/home improvement store that has time-release
plant food like Miracle Grow, Scott's, etc. it is a smart idea not to start your plants off with this medium.
These soils contain food(nutrients) for the plants and when Marijuana is in its seedling cycle(the first of
its life it is detrimental not to give your plants any nutrients. Marijuana at such a young age will get
burned easily from these "Time-Release" nutrients.
Solution: Purchase a pre-mixed soil medium from a store that is a seed starting soil. If this is not available to you then
there are other options available to you such as, peat pods or rockwool. Peat pods and rockwool are great for
the simple reason they contain absolutely no nutrients/plant-food. Once your plant has a decent-sized &
healthy root system, then you can transplant the seedling into your soil-mix such as Miracle Grow, Scott's, etc..
Nitrogen Defficiency: Your plant requires Nitrogen(N) in the veg cycle for healthy, new leaf and stem development. The way
tell if your plant is lacking Nitrogen is the tips on the very bottom set of Sun Leaves will get yellow
tips and over time will proceed to turn the rest of the Sun Leaves yellow until they dry-up and fall off.
Solution: Use Fish Emulsion(purchased at a local fish/pet store) this works as an incredible fertilizer for the plants veg
cycle. Another Nitrogen supplement is Blood Meal/Worm Castings(Worm Shit) or Bat Guano(Bat Shit). Only use
1/3 of the recommended dosage when mixing these nutes into the soil.
those are a few of my ideas but of course I'd need pictures and a little more info to properly diagnose your problem! post em and i'll let you know! good luck!
