I have this plant that my friend was helping me grow. He is no longer helping me and I have no idea what to do in order to keep it healthy. It looks like there is something wrong with it. Its growing under 3 L.E.D. red spectrum lights. They are placed on a wire about 2-3 inches away from the top of the plant. Ive bought an electronic PH soil tester from a garden center and the PH reads a little above the 6 notch and below the 7. Ive been watering about every 2-3 days. The lights are on a timer for 12/12. Its been growing for about 3 months. Theres a fan on in the room however it does feel warmer in the room than in the rest of the place. Id guess somewhere around 80 degrees? Thats pretty much all of the information i can come up with that would be useful...please help me fix my plant if theres a problem!!

Have they been fed?
I grow with LED's and I would say your lights don't have enough power, or wrong spectrum. They need more light.

Not to be rude or anything but that plant looks to be on it's death bed. Were you overwatering before? The length between nodes is pretty damn big but it doesn't look like you have any deficiencies. What fertilizer do you use?

I wont take offense to anything posted here to be honest because I have no idea what Im doing...this is my first time doing this and I thought I was going to get some help along the way but I dont have that anymore =/. I have three different bottles that I could use ( Pure blend pro bloom, Pure blend pro grow, and liquid karma ) I have been using the pure blend pro grow. I dont know how to mix it in with the water properly so ive just been adding maybe half a teaspoon into my spray bottle. I have three other plants right next to this one that dont look like this. Im just waiting for my lights to turn on so I can take a picture of the whole set up and post it...maybe it might help more because I actually have 10 red LED lights on this wire and 5 blue LEDs on different light fixture. The four plants are sharing these lights. Ill post as soon as I can.

They need more light man. You say "they have been growing for 3 months" how long under 12/12?

I swear by HID lights after all I have seen on this board.

Theyve probably been under the 12/12 for about 1 1/2 months. Im not exactly sure tho because my friend switched it over but that sounds about right. I think they were under 24 for a month and a half. What do you suggest I do as far as the lighting goes. What should I buy to help em out?

They actually look ok in that last pic. That first picture showed a little droopy. But they look ok now.

Yep you guys were right. I think all it needed was some more light and maybe a little more air flow. Since my first post I had added extra light and opened the door more often...now they look a lot better...here

THANKS!!! I really appreciate it...any last suggestions for the tips being a little yellow?

Yup more light for sure. When growing under LED's they need less food then any other method. Cut back on the food a tad and that should prevent the tips from getting worse.
