Check out the threads on the infirmary, poke around, post in the 'Introduce yourself' forum.

Once you have a few posts under your belt, you'll be able to upload pics. Who knows, searching the forums might find you the answer to your problem without asking. :D

Hi Andy C,
The pic of the leaf you posted could have come off of one of my plants .
Had a lot of leaf die n turn brown, so picked them off. I was told it is a salt problem n to flush with water n a mild bloom feed.
Have been doing this seems to be going ok.
Good luck with your plants, Health n Peace :)

Mate I would say leave off the nutes too, like the others say. At this early stage they need next to nothing to get going healthily and there's probably more than enough in the soil to keep em happy :)


best of luck

Flush with cold water until it drains less like a stinky pee color a brown like! Then rebuild roots, the plant is less of a concern than roots but not to much! Seems that feeding water is not going to get ride of nutrients without a drain! They usually require to calm down after a heavy down pour, it takes some season to get going!
