hey my plants are almost 3 weeks old, they have 4-5 internodes each, with a bunch of leaves.....however only about 5 inches tall. now i know the first 2 little leaves are supposed to turn yellow and die, but most of my plants the first set of real leaves are either becoming brown spotty, or completly brown and crispy... dead.... the plants are not growing in height very fast, but there is allot of new growth comming in, leaf wise, and stems getting thicker.... 3 weeks from seed, hydro set up in rockwool, i was overwatering the first 1.5 weeks but have since corrected it.... ph is 5.5ish and only 1/4 strength nutrients.... what do you guys think ?

btw it is only on the bottom leaves, which are also somewhat curly and deformed, but all the new growth seems allot more straight/even and no discolorations..

Its either lack of water, or fertalizer burn....
I had the same problem in my last grow and what i did to fix the problem was mist the leave's with a LITTLE bit of water every couple hours. and within day's my plant was healthy.
but im not saying u have the same problem i did..Just a guess =D
 
same problem here its pissing me of really badly the bottom leafs are browning and the now maturing ones that used to be the new ones are also dying I don't know what the problem Is but I did poor some nutritional water on them for leafs is this a problem?

@Farming420, you're overfeeding your young plants. WTF is "nutritional water" anyway? Did you just pour it over the plant? You could be doing a lot wrong. Without pictures you don't have a chance of getting an answer. Start your own thread rather than hijacking this ancient thing too.
