lack of nitrogen or overwatering? sounds like one of them to me....more about your setup will be needed though. could be alot of things but u didn't give us much info

I have them in 1gal pots.. watering them every 2-3 days when dry.... seedlings about 3" tall.. 7 wonderHaze, 2 SourBubble, 2 sargamthama mix
Under a 250 MH, about 3ft. away....

3 feet away? Usable light for a 400w hps is 2 and a half feet....soo....get that mh like 6-10" above the top for one.

o.k. what else??

LavenderCowboy · 03-17-2006, 07:41 PM

What's the recipe on the potting mix????? Did you use pulverized dolomite lime for PH control????LC

Actually, it's normal for older leaves to turn yellow, so you don't necessarily have a problem. Because you're feeding your plants Grow Big I really doubt that you're dealing with a nitrogen deficiency. (You definitely need to lower the lamp, though.)

Can you upload a pic?

I'm no expert, but I have experienced this too, and at first it looks like something is wrong, but soon, that leaf will shrivel up completely, and you'll go to look at it, and the entire stem will pop off like nothing. I would assume its the plants nature way of shedding old, dying matter. Thats my 2 cents.

only 3 weeks old though I doubt lower leaves should be dying now.., they only have like 3 or 4 sets of leaves..
as for the soil mix I got some Jungle growth from Lowes, no lime....
I have a bag of lime though.. how should I add it?? in the water??
