Your soil looks terrible. Too much bark in it plus I think I see a fertilizer ball. Is this Miricle Grow, Scotts, or Shultz soil? I think your soil is over fertilizing your plants and they could die if you don't get them better soil. You also might want to take a PH reading. What type of lights are they under?
Its just regular compost. I have ywo 26w daylight CFLS and two 40w warm CFLS. I actually have six growing....three are like this one and two are really healthy looking but they were all grown in the same soil.....please help
I had a few plants doing that. Are you using CFL'S. I am using the 42 watt CFL'S.It eventually went away. I had a feeling it was overwatering so I started waiting until the soil was drier (2 days), and the plants got healthier. PEACE
Allthough the soil in the pic looks a little too dry. It could be underwatering and do the same thing. Peace
I fed them once with this 12-12-12 fert stuff i found in my garage. I used it because my plants were curling and it did'nt help. I have no idea how to test my soil ph I do not have a kit.....should I use diff soil?
What are the ingredients of your soil? How old are they? PH is definitly important, if you can, get a kit. Definitly make sure your watering properly, if you need to, you can get a soil probe cheap that takes the guess work outta it.
how often and how much water do you give your lil babies?? from the pic it appears you are over-watering your plants but if you say the leaves are brittle then you are not watering enough or lights are too close. your plants should get watered ever few days if you are using floros. peace
Good. Your soil was the first problem. Keep that 12-12-12 stuff they can use that. Do NOT give the fertilizer to them for a week or two after the transplant. I think your compost was fert burning them. You also might be over watering. Get some PH test strips or a soil ph meter each for about $5.95 at local hardware store. Or try www.insidesun.com
After the transplant, the plants were getting worse for like 4 days. I sam somewhere a picture of a zinc deficiency and it looked exactly like my plant with the leaves all bunched up and curling. Apparently, zinc deficiencies are often caused by the soil's ph being too high. So I added a little vinegar to my water and the bitches perked right up and are two inches taller in two days! So if you have this problem, add a coupke drops of vinegar to your water and it may help.....it saved my plants.
