What am I doing wrong?

What am I doing wrong? A lot of fan leaves have fallen off. There are brown spots covering the remaining leaves. I am worried about the well-being and health of my plants. I have been watering them with miracle grow bloom booster. I want to remedy this situation because seeds are pretty hard to come by here and starting over is NOT an option.

its really important you give ALL information about your plants when asking for help
lights?
how often are you watering?
what is your soil?
etc etc

everything you can tell the members about your plants is best for them to help you.

ok at first glance those spots look like they might be an insect problem but im just looking at ur pics and your pots look too small what is your setup ? a bit more info might help what size pots what lights what soil what are you feeding them ?

the brown dead leaf could be over watering / infestation / root bound / hard to say without knowing a bit more info but i would think it could b a number of problems pots too small so they could b root bound and your feeding too much do you allow for the soil to dry out some between feeds

tbh those dont look like they going to reward you much and need serious medical attention what soil are you using is that dirt out ya yard ?

I water twice a week. I am using 75 watt warm bulbs for light. I have no idea abot the soil.
your plants are unlikely to thrive in those conditions.

marijuana requires a lot more lighting to really grow and form buds if im understanding you correctly a single 75 watt warm bulb isnt gunna do it...i hope you mean you have multiple bulbs.
. , if you dont know the growing medium soil youre using youre likely to run into problems like this because of what can be in the soil or not in the soil.
your pots are also too small for your plants,

your set up is very unideal , i know you say you had NO option for starting over, however if thats the case you shouldve done more research into your grow set up prior to sprouting seeds so that you wouldnt run into massive problems down the line.

you should consider getting better soil or new soil or figuring out what soil you have so you can understand whats happening to your plant, in addition to that scraping the miracle grow as many newbies or first timers have massive issues with it. and getting a better nutrient line to help your plants.

youll also want to get bigger pots with proper drainage

What are your lights on and off temps? RH Do you have good ventilation/air exchange. Fan moving air around the plants? What size pots are they in. I think I'm seeing mite damage. Have you seen or checked for bugs..

75w bulb sounds like a regular light bulb to me. Won't cut it. Agreed with the above. ^^

Kind of lighting
Nutes being used
Pot size
What is the grow area being used
Are you PH'ing
Medium being used
Humidity
Etc

Then you can get some advice, anything else is just guess work and that wont help you at all. Sounds like a lot of effort but at the end, you can't complain about the poor results regarding the effort you didn't put into it.

Keep at it though.8-)

looks like you've got too much heat in your tent/space. You need better nutes than MG, that stuff is too hot for mj

I would check your soil ph,,,,,I have saw those little rust spots many times on different plants ,,,usually a cal,,deficiency,,since you do not know the soil type,,I would check there first,,BUY a kit there cheap ,,if you do not want a test kit ole fashion way is small amount of the same dirt in little shot glass,,pour small amount of vinegar on it if it fizzles it is high in alk,,,do another sample mix small portion of water on dry dirt add baking soda,,if it fizzels with baking soda ph is high either way if this is the case you need to mix a teaspoon of lime to a gallon of water,shake it well and give them each a taste ,,it will help correct your soil,,,CHECK THE PH before doing anything,,less is more so do not start trying a bunch of different things,,you can make it worse ,,investigate and isolate the problem and then make the right call one time,,,Will say this Lime is not a nutrient ,,,But does have many things in it that will help a soil and the micro organism thrives and it will help your plant uptake more of the nutrients it needs,,,,,,if they thrive the quality of the soil is then improved,,same reason to feed a little molasses,,,not as a nutrient but it helps the things living in your soil thrive,,if you have poor soil,,the plant can only do so much,,, in any said medium,,, the better the medium or dirt,,, the better the plant can thrive,,,,Also Pot size does and doesn't matter I have grown 24 inch healthy plants in a beer cup to prove this,,they will grow massive roots which makes them thrive greater after transplant,,,The amount of water or nutrients,,is what it will come down to as more exposed roots in a smaller pot are more likely to get burn ,,in my XP,,,But over watering will make your soil very heavy and can suffocate roots as well,,take a few minutes and look over your plant very close ,,look for any sign of bugs ,,eaten portions of leave,,tiny webs,,and so fourth,,The people here will try to help give you good advice and help,,,do not rush to try 100 different things,,,do the 1 right thing,,KISS keep it simple stupid

& will add in case there is any nay sayer's when it comes to pot size,,her our a few of my last set ,,,,I use red beer cups and make plenty of good drains hole in the bottom so I can water heavy and it can not sit these plants here have had no nutrients ever,,Pot size will matter when a plant gets big as it will be very easy to topple over so it respectful will need a bigger pot size when larger but have hit 24 inches with no problem in beer cup,,srry am cheap and I reuse lol,,,You can see the milk jugs I make into my temp 1 gallon planters,as well I transplant again into 3 gallon,,,,but I am cheap and this works for me well
