Help diagnose my plant please

Discussion in 'Sick Plants and Problems' started by MilkyRips, Nov 6, 2015.

  1. So I'm using a 125w CFL and a solo cup with soil until I get a chance to move it into an actual pot, but I'm having the same problem I had the last time I tried to grow - the leaves, especially at the bottom of the plant, are curling in certain parts and some areas are yellowish. I've been watering with Deer Park water and I'm using Miracle-Gro Potting Mix if that info helps at all. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

  2. I'm a new grower so I can't really help but I'm having the same problems I use cfls too I think it might have to do with ph do you check your ph?

  5. Being in a Solo cup is where it should be right now, so don't worry about that. You're using MG soil...which is loaded with slow release fertilizers and I'm sure is burning your plant to some degree. As far as watering goes, don't waste your money on buying spring water. Water out of the sink. I've been doing it for years and have incredibly healthy plants. Treatment plants don't use chlorine anymore. They use chloramine now and there just isn't enough of it in tap water to hurt your plants. So unless you enjoy spending money on water, move to the sink. You do need a reliable way to test and adjust the pH of any liquids going into your plants. They should all be adjusted to a range of 6.3 to 6.7 for soil. Not doing this will lock the plant's roots up and it won't be able to take in any nutrition. There are different ways to handle pH and whichever one works best for you is perfectly fine, but it is not an option not to manage it if you plan on growing healthy plants. I'm suspicious of over watering and of the MG soil causing some burn here. Give no nutes...just plain pH'd water while in the cup. Once the plant is as large as or larger than the cup (best if it can even become a little root bound in the cup first), repot into container one size up in some good formulated growing soil. You want to keep the space the plant will have to root into fairly small as this will decrease the amount of time it will take the plant to root in and get back to growing foliage instead of working on roots. Get on the new grower threads here and read a bunch. You need a basic understanding of how to grow these things properly and you need to read up on pH management, correct watering technique, correct potting technique, lighting, grow media and nutrients. All these things work together for the good of the plant and each has their own part to play in the story. Information is your friend when you're starting out, so the more you know, the more you can enjoy the grow instead of stressing out over it regularly. Flying by the seat of your pants isn't recommended or typically successful. Good luck! TWW
