Im in my first grow here. im growing indoors in a bearoue ( i have no idea in hell how to spell that.. lol) i have a 13 watt led panel blue. ordering the reds tonight. i water it when the soil is dry on top. temp stays between 68-72 degreese (F). every now and than it does heat up a little bit more toward 78 or so.. which is completly my fault.. :( my leaves did sad things over night :( can aybody help me? its 3 4 weeks old or so.. i use miracle grow soil.. i know some peopleare againsed it and all, im looking now for fertilizers, plant food for water, soils. if anyone has good suggestions as its my first grow, something that will give me a good yield and wont put me in the gutters for cash.. i would like that!:)

sounds maybe like overwatering. Leaves doing sad things? you pics aren't coming in. but hey if they are droopy then lay off the water. you'll kill the root zone. burnt tips mean to much fert. spotting like rust, cal mag shortage, yellowing nitro shortage. You also need a better light. 13 watt led is not going to sustain a plant. you actually need to spend some money to get started in this stuff man.

my 13 wat panel did more for my plants in 2 weeks than my friends 150 hps did.. although like i said i am ooking into reds in a larger quantity. i may go with a few 50w. or new ultrathin 30s

the light green color at the top is new growth. the plant only grows in the dark LOL. the pic with the dark shit on the leaf. I had a similar issue and its from lack of light. I lost the plant because I was stingy. the top of the plant will contiue to grow and look great though. noticed you dont have any lower foliage. thats because the plant is stretching to fast and the light is not reaching far enough down to stimuate decent leaf production.

that was sort of what i had been thinking.. i know for leds i needed a red and more light.. i just baught the smallest model to see what came of it as a lot of people hate them and some stand by them.. so more light and i could be fine?

could i say put some foil on the bottom of the plant upon the soil until the light gets here? ( i thought foil was a bad ida.. saw a video on youtube with a dude doing it though)

I think he was making a point of actually buying quality stuff like grow lights that aren't meant to be purely for supplemental light to a real grow light. just a thought. kinda sad when a plant dies due to a tight or shallow wallet.

forget the leds u r using, they will barly veg... buy a pack of soft white cfl's (26w, aka 100watt equivelent) for $4, one drop light for another $5ish, and 5 two way spliters probably another $8...

make one big light out of it all and hang above the plant...maybe make some kind of reflective dome out of foil...

get a better light. a 13w led won't do much of anything. the discoloration you have on that leaf is a phosphorus deficiency. not enough phosphorous or ph out of range, but i'm sure the light alone is the issue.
