Ok so I came home from work today and I looked at this plant and the top is all burned I dont know what happened all the rest of them are fine just this one. Should I just cut them off or ust this as a time to top the plant?

leave it alone m8 - it'll be ok.
the burnt bits will fall off & the rest of the plant will grow as normal = no biggy

How far is your light (and what type is it) from the plant top?
In my case it was lapm burning tops like that. If u grrow with sodium or metal halide keep the bulb about 70-80cm (2 feet) from the plant top. Check daily in vegetative stage as they can suprise you.

yea thats def light burn, you light is gettng to close to the tops of your plants, try to lift it up a bit.

Thats what I thought but the lights arnt even close to the top of it, my other plants are closer to the lights and they are fine. When I was working on my grow box one of the lights was sitting right on top of the plant but it was only there for like 30 seconds if that, I dont know if that caused it or not.

Ok so now the some of the botom flowers are yellowing is it just from lack of water?

iluvtorace4786 · #7 (**permalink**) 12-06-2006, 08:02 PM

Ok so they are still turning yellow I dont know what is going on with them. I think I might have lowered the ph of the soil too much, is there anything I can do to quickly fix that?

Im a huge fan of testing the soil's pH almost every time I water to keep an eye on it. I realize this is excessive, however youll need a pH test kit, as well as pH up and down.
What type of soil are you using? Does it have nutes? Have you given it any nutes? What type of water are you giving it and how often?

I test the ph everytime I water it but I only test the ph of the water that I put into it I make it around 6. Is that what it is supposed to be at? I just have regular unfertilized potting soil and I use pure blend pro grow and super thrive.

You need to test the soil ph itself and/or the run-off water. It looks like your ph is off. First check it to make sure then get back with us. How much and how often do you fertilize with those?

iluvtorace4786 · #11 (**permalink**) 12-07-2006, 08:02 AM

How do I test the Soil ph? the run off is at abut 6.5 I dont know what it is supposed to be is 6.5 ok?

SmknVTEC · #12 (**permalink**) 12-07-2006, 08:12 AM

pH sounds perfect. How much and when do you feed it?

iluvtorace4786 · #13 (**permalink**) 12-07-2006, 08:40 AM

I feed it 15ml of pure blend pro per gal of water and 1/4 tsp of super thrive whenever the soil is dry.

iluvtorace4786 · #14 (**permalink**) 12-07-2006, 09:51 PM

does that sound like an ok ammount?

SmknVTEC · #15 (**permalink**) 12-08-2006, 06:44 AM

So you are basically giving 3 1/4 tsp of fert per gallon of water? That sounds like a bit too much. I think you are fert burning them.
