thats kind of odd to ask, you need to define toxicity.


IF your grow tent is made out of any kind of organic material (wood/MDF/OSB...Cotton/hemp...) those surfaces can retain moisture from humidity, and can mold over. the mold would be blueish-greenish, and it would spread to your plants, causing more mold.


If you painted your tent with lead paint, you could have toxicity...

if your bulb busted you could have mercury toxicity...

your plany may have botrysis/budrot?


show us YOUR pics, and we can help you.

are you talking about nutrient lock-out/nutrient toxicity?


If you overfed your plants, the tips will start drying and browning out, you may have an overall yellow appearance with necrotic spotting all over...

i cant believe nobodies heard of this. This is an issue in older model grow tents that are lined with pvc plastic and they react with hid lighting releasing a toxic gas. From what i understand the plants will turn yellow, wilt, and be dead within a couple days. This is why you see all the dirt cheap grow tents on ebay. They are no good and people want to get rid of them.

What kind of tent do you have and what kind of lighting?

were you growing these plants before you had the tent?

are the walls white plastic?

try taking your plants out for a few day and see if they get any better.

Yes it was the tent i took it down & lined the frame of the hut with cardboard and that was 3 days ago and BAM that are turned around 360. The new growth is green and the yellowing leaves are slowly turning back green i am so happy. I have a new tent on the way.
