Hi, I was wondering why my plants leaves are so small it has 4 sets of true leaves and is a purple power. I think it is about maybe 24 days old. Also the first set & second set of true leaves are browning. Is all this normal?

Hey bog try and get some pictures of your plants, describe your setup what you are using etc... I wouldn't think you should not have any browning leaves. Not really much to go off of here but if I see brown or yellow on most plants I assume it isn't good.

Ok I will get pics as soon as I can but my set up is cheap. I have 2 100wt cfl and 1 I think 75wt cfl all are in shop lamps for only 1 plant going right now. I have been giving it schultz expert all purpose fert. and have a fan blowing on it. I water every 3-4 days clear distilled water one day and fert. water the next. My lights are on from 12 in the morning to 6 in the evening. And my plant is nearly 2 1/2 in. long and has a thin but no longer flexible stem. I hope this helps until I get pics.

Ok what we got is a 24+day old baby that is yellow out... Nice stock on her now and is watered. Can we get the npk of the nutes. And supp's if used. Its may be time for more nutes, but we need to check a few things as not to be in the middle of a burn. Db.~tlb! :)

Ok, I am still goin to get pics as soon as i can but now it seems as if growth is stunted,the leaves that are not brown and crisping are turnig purple,the leaves that are brown seem to rise up toward the light when they turn brown. When i looked around the forum I found that the first set of true leaves are supposed to fall off but one leaf on the second set of true leaves also is completely brown now. I dont have the N,P,K, right now but I ended up buying a soil tester and tested for ph,n,p,k,. The ph is 7.5,the n it said was deficient, p was surplus, and k was sufficient. that being said it must mean not enough nitrogen if the test is correct. But I will have the n,p,k, tomorrow. So do my plant symptoms sound like nitrogen deficiency?

Bottom leaves always die off... just watch for progression... You didn't mention nutes ..etc... pics help too... I nute at 3-4 weeks (start 1/4 strength)..water every 3-4 days.. luck

Ok I think I have concluded that this is a nitrogen deficiency. The npk of the solution I had was 24-8-16 but I bought schultz liquid plant food at 10-15-10.I dont have the camera right now so im sorry for those who wanted a pic.Organic bug spray, water, and schutz food is all im using. So if I need somethig else or im not doing something right I am new to growing so I can use help from an experienced grower

I'll go buy a camera and thanks for being here from the beginning but I need to get a better one anyway so i can start a journal on the plant I have now.

I have very sad news I was to late and she totally crisp :cry:. I will learn from this and now I am more prepared and I made a beginners mistake. I have many more seeds and saw the aerogarden my cousin bought and thought about using it. What do you think?
