First Time Grower and I Think One of My Babies is Starting to Die

[CatEyes420]

went to a local collective that sells clones decided to start off with 2 for my first try to see how it goes i was told to start off i should go with a little t5 light and a fan, i have 2 plants one indica one sativa, my indica seemed to be getting sickly with yellowing leaves and the branches were getting reddish i thought it was from over watering and the pot being wayyy to small so i transplanted using superthrive and pureblend pro gro 3-2-4 nurtients, and happy frog soil, its been almost 2 days and i dont really see a difference the bottom 2 leaves actually got worst and got completly yellow so i pruned those, does anyone have any tips to help me??? any advice will help im a complete newbie thanks <3


I added some pics of my plants the one on the left is roadkill tha indica which it the one that is having all the problems, and the darker green one is headband my sativa

Start to feed them a more balanced nute your is too weak. Also start to feed foliar and you will start to see a difference really quick. And you will also have to deal with stretch because of the little amount of light. So far they look fine just under fed a little bit.

what do you recommend for nutes? and foliar feeding is mixing the water i spray on it with nutes right??? how often should i do that?? thanks for your help im a newbie =)

Do you have a hydro store near you? Get a one part grow and one for bloom and that will be fine until you get more experenced then you can move onto other things. I use Dyna Gro series nutes they are a very good nute. http://www.dyna-gro.com/ If you look you will see the difference in the nute ratios of what you are using and what you should. And you can foliar feed these nutes as well so bonus!!

Looking at your plants you might want to think about going into flower now after you get the nute issue taken care of. You do not have enough light to sustain a very tall plant and you will just be wasting the lower limbs. Another option would be to top them and train them down and out getting more light to the flowers. Or get a bigger light they make a 300w Florescent you can get it at HD I use it for my clones.

i have a bat winged ballast and a 250 mh light and hps light, i dont think i want to flower yet because they seem too small im going to top off the sativa im still not sure about the indica because she is so stressed and weak, but the ballast isnt working i honestly dont know how to connect it i did what i thought was right but it didnt turn on =(

here are some pics of my little cheapy ballast

That will work!. Black to black and I guess white to blue? I hate when they mix the colors why mess around with them? LOL My thought is less is more but its your plant. Yes I would not do anything until it started to look better. Keep us in the loop so we can see how it turns out.

Looks good, but from the pictures you seem to lack ventilation for hotter lights (even a 250W MH need ventilation). I guess you have that covered, just had to mention it.

Yes please keep us informed we always like pics. I always double check advice from boards and research research research. Most of this stuff is trial and error and its up to you to decide what will work best for your situation.
