I use dyna grow 7/9/5 in veg then 2 weeks into 12/12 then i add dynagrow bloom 3/12/6 with great results

ok, something is wrong with my plants! their stems are turning a little brownish, and the leaves have some brown spots. Especially the first leaves, the two at the bottom of the plants, are dead looking. Can anyone tell me what i need to do to revive them? They are just over 2 weeks old, and have been growing in my aerogarden. Here are the conditions my plants are living in:
5 plants, just over 2 weeks old
they received the first starter nutrients when i started them up. since then i have not given them any aerogarden nutrients.
instead, i am using foxfarms grow big 6-4-4 nutes, and gave them to my plants yesterday. one and a half tsp. after i refilled my reservoir.
i am using bottled distilled water
my lights have been on 18hrs and off 6hrs, cause i have them set to the herb/basil setting.
i bought a timer thingy from Radioshack and tried to switch the lights to 12on 12off but the damn thing won't override the aerogarden's built in timer. i am in the process of thinking of a plan b.
i had generic mylar paper stuff (poly something foil looking wrapping paper that i bought from walmart) and put it up on the back and sides of the aerogarden for a week or so.
today i took the paper off and figured my white walls in my closet would reflect enough
i raised my lamp up a notch from the very bottom cause i thought my plants might be getting burned.
i have a pH tester that reads 4.5-9.0, and dropped in one drop of pH decreaser, and now my plants have a pH level of 5.8
my fan is constantly on in my bedroom, on low speed
my air conditioner has been broken for a few days and i just got it fixed, but the temperatures in my house were so extreme that we had to stay in a hotel. im pretty sure the temp was around 120 degrees inside my house for a few days while we were gone, and there was no air circulating.


considering all these circumstances (I think i listed them all), can someone please tell me what i need to do to revive my brown spotted plants?
i have read so many threads and still havent figured out what exactly i need to do.

any advice would be greatly appreciated!

dont worry about brown spots on lower leaves....it is a very common occurence and usually results in no loss of yield....

As long as it is still growing and producing new growth, then it is fine...

peace

120 in your house will effect your plants usually your roots get burned up by the water being to hot change your water if you havent already water temps should be 68 at all times hope this helps

68 at all times eh? never heard that, but it makes sense, nothing too hot or too cold. thanks!
by the way, does anyone know where to purchase a timer that will override the timer in the aerogarden, and what is it called? i have been to home depot, walmart, and radioshack and havent found a timer that could work with the aerogarden?

(120 degrees oh my god dauntes inferno your trying to grow dank not cook a pizza )you need good air circulation take it out the closet , if you didnt follow my earlier replies read them over and you will have a great grow if they dont start to do better id start over dont waste ur time for 3.5 grams in over 70 days of grow because they were stunted(im here 4 u girl) ,,,420

how the hell do i post some pics of my plants up here??? in my message

ok here are some pics of my 2 1/2 week old plants from my aerogarden. honestly, HOW DO THEY LOOK? im a virgin like i mentioned before (when it comes to growing plants, that is lol)

i think they look like crap cause of the brown spots.
what do i do? they are getting enough air circulating.
i dont want to pull them


i have posted their living circumstances in above thread post. i forgot to mention that i have an air stone sitting in the bottom of the reservoir as well.

They look pretty good to me....a little stretched, just keep the light as close as possible....i'm talkin like an inch away from the plants if possible...thats where extra CFLs come in handy....

Good job, like I said before dont worry about those brown spots....most people end up worrying too much about them and do somthing drastic and that ends up fuckin em....

If theyre growing then you have nothing to worry about....

Get those lights closer! and get some extra...

Peace

ok well i will lower the light. when do you think i should add more of the fox farms nutes? i added 1 1/2 tsp. to the res a couple days ago.

your plants arent bad looking but lowering the light will not do sh@t just need serious 42w cfls from walmart put right up on plants like tek said puting the light right up on it will keep it shorter fatter bushier and any er i forgot i love dank and baby i aint no virgin in either feilds lol,,,420( get rid of the herbs in far left corner dank loves its root space so no pissing in the pool !!!!!!)

Ok, so you are obviously the more experienced one here, so instructing the virgin requires some very basic explanations!
you say i need 42w cfls from walmart. what exactly do you mean? i dont know what i should ask for when i get to walmart. and how many 42w clfs do i need? once i get the lights, where and how do i put them up around my aerogarden? im sorry. if you dont want to answer me i completely understand. i must sound like a complete idiot.still no one has answered me on when i should add more nutes? i gave them nutes on the 9th, 1 1/2 tsp in the res. foxfarm 644

and as for setting my lights to 12 on 12 off, do you have any clue where i would find an interceptor timer thing that would be compatible with the aerogarden and over ride its built in timer? its set to 18/6. that sucks!


finally, how much longer till i get some buds????? damnit, i am impatient!!!

thank god for websites like this though, seriously. this is amazing. i cant believe i actually have some plants that aren't dead yet.

fist you are one hot ass grower i hope your plants end up half as beautiful as you , you need clamp on reflector from lowes you should only keep 3 plants and get 6 @ 42w cfl spiral bulbs 2 on each plant they will be bushs there 8.00 ech walmart no more nutes change every 2 weeks ag will tell you dont let resvior get low ,,,good luck perrty lady,,420

off to walmart and lowes! thanks so much!!!!

hey fistraisedhigh I'd say you add more lighting once you start to flower " bud" your plants... Try Rona homdepot er sumin you can buy floresent tube lights made for growing from rona but you'll need a few of them cuz there for house plants and one won't be strong enogh for the sun loving canabis plant ...also you can get a ordinary desk lamp and stick a compact floresent light bulb in it ( the spiraly looking light bulb thats energy effcient .... Try finding the bulbs that say warm white... Its the color of the light the bulb gives off.. Witch is like red glow of light best for flowering your plants....most floresents give off a white glow... I hope the best for u and ur plants...post up any more problems I'll be more then happy to help..... Peace

try the floresent tube lights they have DUAL spectrum that means they give off red and blue rays of light .... Floresent white light gives off a blue spectrum .... A flouresent warm white light gives off a more red ray..... The red spectrum is better used for flowering plants .... While the white one gives off blue spectrum witch is better used for growth in starting plants.... But yea check them out at rona or sumin .... I can go on for hours about all the different lights u can use... But I'd say check out those tube lights.... You'll get more healthier betterplants in the long run..

rush you need the best lighting for veg stage to not just flowering (hence all these plants skinny long none bushy plants do what you do bro,,,420)the best veg stage lights 42w cfl spiral !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

woah. so much information about lights! aaah....
now not so sure what exactly to do. i need red lights????


crap

They also sell 65watt !!! Soft or cool white........ Butt I was at the pet store of all places and seen an aquarim light that was rated 18000k!! And it was 40 watt .....most 40watts are like 4700k at the most... I wonder if these would be good for growing?? they say there for aquarim plants
