What the HELL

My plants are about 5 1/2 wks old and the leaves have been curling up a little and burning as well. What the hell is going on here? Please HELP!!!

Also, is it a smart idea to cut off the leaves that look like the ones posted above?

Man, looks like they are frying. Wat sort of light do u have them under? How close r they, guna need more detail, but thats wat i can gather from the pictures.
Hope this helps

And Yes, it is a gud idea to cut these leaves. The plant spends energy trying to fix these problem leaves - but they r clearly a lost cause, so yes, remove them.

Are you feeding her anything? Could possibly be nute burn. (good soil flush could help) Do need more info. either way! Goodluck

Looks like it's too hot in your grow room and humidity is way too low.

Without any other information I would suspect heat abuse. How hot is it in your grow area?

Ive got them under 6 26 watt CFLs and also some 4 ft floros.. The temperature is about 82 degrees Fahrenheit and the humidity is about 30%.. Can we narrow it down anymore?

Ill post some pics in a few minutes

get your temp down to 75 and up the humidity.

I am going to move them into another location that is 7-ft by 4-ft and they will have about 6-ft height optimally, but could go to the ceiling if that would work better ha.. How should I set that room up for the best potential?

Today I went to the local garden store and purchased a soil testing kit and it turns out that my PH seems to be fine but Nitrogen, Phosphorus, AND Potassium seem to all be high. I'm using MG African Violet Soil mixed with part MG Perlite so I don't think flushing would be a good idea because it would only release more nutrients to my soil... Right? What should I do??

Are you adding nutes to your MG soil? 5 1/2 weeks should be enough time. I flush after 3 weeks in MG soil to bring out anything that is left in there, and then start doing a full dose of nutes. If you are nuting and didn;t flush your MG soil, it could be Nute burn. My temps are 90-92 with 40% humidity and I have not had anything like that happen to my plants.

Good luck bro!

It says on the MG bag that it feeds for like 3 months so I don't know if I should do that or not.. The plants aren't on their death bed yet but I hate seeing them do bad. If I flushed them out, could it potentially kill them and how long until I will know if that worked? I have not used much fertilizer and only used it like 3 times at a very low dosage.. Im stumped

Hrm. Well, lemme consult the grow bible and I will get something for an answer for yah.

Okay awesome. I need to get myself one of those.. Do you think the local bookstore has some sort? I may have been overwatering, which could have caused my recent problems.. Time will tell. Let me know what you find!

I purchased mine at my local Borders. Barnes and Noble carry it as well. You would be surprised about the amount of growing books you can find at a bookstore.

In reference to the leaves, attached is what I could find that was similar. It insinuates nute burn, but it could be a few things. Since the plant is yellowing from the outside in, it could be a nitrogen deficiency. So since that two somewhat counteract each other, I would say check your soil PH. Perhaps overwatering, leading to a nute lockout because of all the shit being released from over watering? Just a guess.

Good luck though! this ones for you!

Another quick question.. If I am LST how long do I tie them in each direction?

That depends on how long you are going to veg... and how big you intend to grow your plant.

Have a look at this post. One of the best LST How-to threads I have read. Good shit. http://forum.grasscity.com/absolute-beginners/122936-how-lst-low-stress-training.html
