Orange areas on the bigger leaves

Hi
My Lowryderplants are just about 14 days old from that they popped up of the soil.
It all started two days ago, when i checked on my plant. It had small dots that were slightly lighter in color, still green though.
Yesterday, the dots had grown bigger and started yellowing.
Today they were orange.
I water them daily, sometimes two times per day.
When i saw the dots i realized i might be overwatering them. So i water them less, and only once per day.
I grow them under one 30W cfl each and one 20W between them. I have lights that i am going to add as soon as they gain a little more volume.
They are sown in soil and i use a very small amount of nutrients in my water.


1. Any ideas what the problem might be?
2. Will this kill my plant if not corrected?

#1 you water them to much.
#2 you feed them to much.

Do some more research on how to grow. You most likely also do not have enough drainage in soil. Do not foiler feed your plants either, until you learn how to feed them the regular way correctly.

The problem is much worse today. Leaves are sulking and there are lots of orange spots on them
I stopped feeding and overwatering two days ago.
I will look into the drainage of the pot or transplant it to a bigger one. Think it can handle the stress?

The yellowing/orangeing goes around the edges of the older leaves. But i can see small yellow bits on the tips of the new ones as well.
At one place the edge is black.
I cant seem to find anyone else with similar symptoms, the closest I've seen is Mg def, but that looks waaay darker than mine.

lay off the nutrients it looks like the nutes have burnt the plant

Yer you crazy adding nutes too a plant that small in soil! The problem looks too be your light burning the plant leaves and probably made worse if you fertilized as well, that gold yellow comes from excessive heat from a light source, you scorched the leaves dude! Revise your set up, move light father away or get some cooling going on ie a small fan or somthing to reduce the heat as well. Good luck dude.

He is using little CFLs. It takes more than a week of a leaf sitting on my cfl's I use for supplimental lighting before the bulb yellows the spot on the leaf where it touches.

You shouldn't need any ferts in soil at this point.

On a side note........get some perlite in your soil mix. Looks like your just using peat although I can't see it that well.

Okay, laying of the ferts and raising the lamps.
Now they are about 2" away from the top. They were a lot closer so i guess heat could have been the issue. Though i cant see why only the lower leaves would get burned and not the top...
I'll wait and see for a couple of days now
Toke on
