Hi
I dont know whats goin on with my plants.
Heres little desription of my indoor growing condition.

Right now its in wardrobe without fan or humid control. Door is little open so fresh air can circulate.

-6 plants 2-3 week old,
-24/7 under 7x23W energy saving lamps - about 10.000lum

- watering with water ph ~6, room temperatue, more less 3 times a week. since last week with humovit eko - its made by earthworms working in cow shit, i added very small about 0,05L to 5L of water while they sugest to water with 0,15L non diluted.

-earth ph also ~6

there is possibility that LITMUS PAPER is old and not acurate

Problem with plants is that leaves began to change color and got dry. It started with few brown dots at older leaves whitch look like dots from heat but im sure its not from temteratue. Brown dots began to spread, some leaves also become yellow. After this whole leaves become dry. Rest is at photos.

HELP ME!!!!! its urgent

TX

how often are you feeding your plants if you fed them and how much?

WHat soil mixture and brand are you using? Looks like your soil is hot or you used nutrients to much of...... possible ph issues too. Not only that but your lights are WAYYYYYY to far away for your seedlings; your seedlings are tall and lanky which means they are trying to stretch up to get closer to the light; move the light down or prop your plants up on something to get them closer to the light.

its universal soil mix brand Flora(its polish brand). i heard its very good soil for grow. ph 5,5-6 mix of: peat, sand, pine bark partsand oth. with NPN nutrients for 2 weeks of veg.

soil is hot thats true, but if ill put the lights lower its gonna get even more hot. platns are streached cose at begining there was very weak light.
ill try to cover soil with something, maby thick carton ll help.

tx for help, maby there are others ideas whats goin on?

looks like soil/ph issues to me
by saying hot, stitch isnt referring to the temperature of th soil, hes referring to it having too high of a nutrient content for the baby plant to even be able to absorb, causing the plant to exhibit symptoms of nutrient "burn"

hot (temperature hot) soil isnt good either though......

I would take all your babies and pop em out like you would if you were transplnting them, then get the soil from your pots you already used and mix it with about 50% perlite, to dilute the nuteint content, then you dont have to worry so much about over watering with the young plants and youll have more soil. good luck

Yes, thank you for explaining that to him norcal!


AS for the lights; you are using compact fluros or fluro tubes?

Fluros do not give off much heat and you can put them very close to the plants without having heat issues on the plant; now if you were growing with HPS or MH then yes you can't get them no where near as close to the plants as you could with fluro's and fluro tubes.

See your mixture is considered "soil-less" and ph you give us 6 but is there anyway you can give us the full ph? like 6.1, 6.2 6.3 and so on.....

Either way your soil mixture is to rich for your plants. Have you given your plants any nutrients?
