something very wrong????

[jrhgsxr]

My first grow. 120 watt lighting system. Plant is in a organic type soil. was in miracle grow first then i transplanted it. First the bottom row of branches and leaves slowly died completely. then the top branches and leaves started to droop real bad. iv read a bunch of threads on here about drooping leaves and nutes and leaves turnig yellow and have tried EVERYTHING. Nothing is working. i even tried changing the lighting system. now i think there is so much change with the plant that it might get motion sickness or somethin and not make it. i have 13 plants now and this is the only one doing it. its about 6 weeks old now. I have a picture of it in my email but not sure on how to post it up?

\
p.s. the bottom two branches that died i picked off, they are beginning to grow back now.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and could this just be type of strain it is, they are all mystery strains......

120 Watts, Florescent I presume? What is the distance from lights? 13 plants with only 120 Watts that is what 8 Watts per plant, I would say more light. What kind of lights, how many, distance from the top of the plants?

Actually it is 3 40 watt lights hanging about 4 feet above the plant and it was 18 on and 6 off but i turned it on for 24 hours now.. watering with drinking water at room temp every other day. ( 2 cups of water or little more)

Your plant will be fine after a few minor adjustments.
-Drop the lights down to atleast 5-10in away from the plant max.
Cfls arent good at a distance as the lumens and intensity drop off.

-Dont water every other day, the plant doesnt need all that water right
now, let it dry out more so the roots can go search for water. Also if the
roots are taking up all the water in the bottom of the pot, bad bacteria
will start to develop.

Other than that dude your fine.

so, are you using cfl's or incandescents?

GANGJABABY they are cfls.......



Thx man.. Made those minor adjustments and wel see what happens.... also i mixed around the soil in the pot and cleaned the bottom part. I found a white fly thing on it? could those bugs be the cause of the coloration in the leaves.

One more question, do you think that the bottom two branches will actually frow back and possibly bloom?
