Give more details such as:
Age of plant
seed or clone
type of lights
type of soil
fertilizing schedule and amount
temperature
etc
pH of 6.0 is a little low. You want to shoot for about 6.5

So you did add nutes? The miricle grow. How much did you give? Get the pH to 6.5 too. Any pictures?

So, if I'm reading this right, you burned it with Miracle Grow (easy to do) and then over corrected and quit feeding it entirely? You can't do that.

It sounds like your plant is hungry. The next time you water give it some ME but at 1/4 the recommended strength. If it doesn't burn, increase it to about 1/3 strenght the next time you feed - about the second or third watering after your first feeding, unless the plant continues to have problems.

MG tomato fertilizer is fine for weed, it's the MG Soil that is subpar. We really need pics to be sure.

not so ......

you need to know your plants & how much ferts they want, & choose the correct mg ferts out of the many choices they have

Of all the different manufacturers of ferts Ive tested this by far is the best

Vegatative cycle fertilizer
Miracle-Gro® Water Soluble All Purpose Plant Food (they make several fertilizers be sure its this one)
http://www.miraclegro.com/index.cfm/...c0236933b0a7a4
Fertilizer Analysis: 24-8-16 with micronutrients
2 level "Teaspoons" per gallon of water, (reduce this by 50% first time application) use this as your water, feed every other watering till flowering

I have found that using the MG tomato ferts cause this yellowing accompanied by the brown spotting very easily & almost every strain I tested this on

you need to flush your plant.
Flush with PH corrected water, till in optimum PH range, 3 times the volume of the pots is the rule of thumb but may require much more flushing if the rootball is thick & sour
EG: 1 gal pot = 3 gal. flush
add 1/2 strength PH balanced nutes to the last gallon of the flush.

switch to this fert

OK Sorry I meant the all purpose MG not tomato food. I did not realize the tomato food was no good.

I use this fert and it works great.
