Plants dying???

  1. I dont know what to do to save my plants. I had to take the plants on a road trip to Cali. I went outta town for a week. I had to take the plants with me in order to get any light. but by the time i got back from vacation they looked like this and only seem to be getting worse. Looks like they're all starting to point up and new leaves are no longer growing. They are almost a month old.

  2. For starters clear cups arent a good idea for several reasons. Also the first set of single bladed leaves will naturaly die off. How often are you watering and feeding, what are you feeding them and what is the PH run of reading? Also what kind of soil?
     
  3. They were perfectly fine before I had to put them under stress of being on the road. But I used mg potting soil and mg nutrients. I've never measured the ph tho
     
  4. Their nutes arent really geared towards growing pot and their soil the organic MG is ok the rest of their soils I wouldnt use or reccomend. As for PH run when using chemical based nutes like MG PH is really important for a plants overall health. If its to high certain nutes will get locked out and vice versa when its to low. A healthy plant will grow and produce alot better then an unhealthy one and using good soil, nutes and keeping the PH in a good range is important. Do you have any grow shops or hydro stores near you? You can pick up a basic digital PH meter on Amazon anywhere from $15-$25 then some calibration solution and some PH Up and Down. usualt when you add nutes it brings the PH down and you may need to use some PH up to get it in a good PH range, regular waterings the PH can tend to be a little high and thats when you use some PH to adjust it. But the most important PH reading is from the run off that tells you what the PH of the soil is. In soil grows you want a PH around 6.5, at that reading your plants will absorb the full range of nutes it needs. If you do buy a PH meter dont get a PH soil probe style there known to be not that accurate. You want one that PH tests liquids.
