Hello all, this is my first post and my 3rd grow but only my first sucessful one....

This is the first time that i have ever encountered this problem and i dont know if its because of the water or what... Ive always used botteled water but it was always zepherhills, this time i bought walmart brand and have encountered a yellowing browning problem....I have now switched to RO filtered water and will see if this helps..

Since this problem, ive done as much research as possible and i have increased ventilation, raised my lighting further away and just today started the babies on some nutes but what if i am wrong.... i need some help trying to find out if this was a simple heat issue or a nitrogen difeciency or possibly more?? i have attached pics too

lighting: 125w ultra compact flourescent
3 weeks into growth

What kind of soil is that? Mj doesn't like bark and shit. I'm guessing pH issues but could be nute burn or heat stress as well. I would transplant immediately and fill your pots almost full next time.

I always had the same problem. I started growing outside and never ran into a problem except for bugs. You may want to start a grow outside next spring cheaper too.

if i am not mistaken.....those are in plastic cups. never use plastic cups. nute burn is def the case here. looks like they can make it tho, ganj is a damn strong plant....just took a closer look......red drinking cups.....get them out of there. keep the soil, just transplant into bigger. being as how they are in such a small area, the soil has no way to quote breathe u nquote....lol......bigger pots, will def work. plastic holds in chems,depending on the specific material. plastic cups are a cheap plastic.

I’m defiantly not an expert… I’m a first time grower myself, but I lost three plants to over watering and not enough light and mine did a similar thing as yours are doing.

Once I let the dirt dry out completely between watering the leaves stopped yellowing and curling under. Maybe you’re over watering?

Don’t know if that will help you. I’ll keep my fingers crossed and let us know if you find out what the cause is and how you corrected it.

Good luck!

I use plastic cups to start my plants there is nothing wrong with it.

I use plastic cups for starting seeds and clones. Never had a problem with it either.

It looks like they've been transplanted but it looks like a really rich soil mixture. I don't see any perlite. I hope it has something in it to loosen it up so those roots can breathe and not sit in a mud bog.
