Help please. Is it dying?

[Nugglet]

Morning all. So my plant is about 2 weeks old or so.. but it sat outside in horrible weather untill i convinced myself to just grow inside.. I've posted my set up earlier. (CFLS)But my plant is getting not very green and it seems to have black or brown dots all over it. Even on the new leaves just starting. IS this a Nut problem? or heat? The temps in my cabnit are usually always around 90. And the humidity is about 50. I have 3 cfl 6500K lights about 3-4 inchs away from them. WHat do i do?!!?

Some pictures would be nice, but with that temp being st 90 i know that aint good. Your'e gonna have to get that under control. Far as nute burn I don't know what your'e feeding them, when and how much.

IM trying to get a picture but the camera won't focus on something so small lol. Where should my temps be? Also i have not starting feeding it yet. Also when i water it. All my soil around the plant is not all wet. But most places are very moist .

 

[Nugglet]

This is my soil... its kind wet/dry all over the place, but i used my moisture meter to read the soil and it says that is all moist.. so any ideas?

Main thing right now is to get those temps down somewhere between 75-80 degrees. If your soil is uniformly moist and they are not receiving nutes yet, you seem to be good on those fronts, but that temp. Fans, A/C, whatever you can do. I live in Florida and our summers are brutal. Right now i'm using central air, portable A/C, ceiling fan, and an oscillating fan and I'm still considering another fan.

okay thanks man. Im gonna go drill a few holes in the roof of the box so that the heat may be released from the top. Ill post some pictures tonight after to see hwo it happends. I also just mixed up 2 cups of water and like half a teaspoon of my nutes. It is 20-20-20 Just like general Nutes. Hereis a picture. I remember that my potting soil did say it will feed the plant for a few months too. I think. SHould i not use nutes in that case?

 

[growone]

the nutes and the soil that 'feeds for X months' is a bad combination, that soil has more than enough nutes for now
your plant troubles are likely due to be over watered from their outside experience, lot of rain?
what you're probably seeing is nute burn. every watering releases more and more fertilizer, wet that plant enough and you will fry it with preferted soil

 

[Nugglet]

okay so i will stay clear of the nutes for a while. So What do you think is should do? I'm in the process of rigging up some exchaust fans for the temps. But the sides of all the leaves are like tinted with brown or black.. kinda look burnt.. and the plant itself is not very green. And the two small round leafs under the fan leaves are turning brown/white

this is the tough question, i had a preferted grow, sucker up and died on me
preferted can work well, provided you don't get in this situation
transplanting into another soil is a bit drastic, but is the only route i know to get out of perfert burn
maybe someone else out there knows how to heal a prefert grow gone bad

 

[Nugglet]

What exactly is a preferted grow? You mean the soil comes with the nutes in it? Do you think this plant will die? Will i know if the plant is gonna die, in the next day or two? Or how should i just watch it, and see how it goes?

 

[growone]

preferted means your soil has time release fertilizer in it, will usually say 'feeds for X months'
i don't know how your plant will do, mj is tough, recovery is possible
the problem with the prefert burn is you're kind of screwed in what you can do
the usual fix for burn is to flush with water, with preferted soils flushing makes the problem worse because the time release pellets release more fert on every watering
if you don't want to transplant to a new soil, and that i understand, it's a big step. then you can't over water, you do have to 'wait it out' to some extent, the plant may push through the 'burn zone' and begin to recover
you have to water of course, but not too much, and not too little. i didn't recover my grow in the preferted shit, i tried to flush and it really killed the plant

sry to high jack but this will help thread host as well. what Fert did u change to after usen MG? im in MG atm and am ready to transplant and i am just starten to get the mg burn and leaves curling i want to get them outa that stuff asap

 

[treduece]

preferted soil comes with nutes that feed for "x" amount of months
if you add more fertz on top of that; you get nute burn

 

[GreenMagic]

yup study that grl every day....
don't over water(some soil u need to pre-water thoroughly)
i say wait a week or so, so some nutes get released
and then decide if u need to add more

Go to you tube, ready set grow vidoes should also help you heaps with mixes and stuff.

lol in all truth I don't remember what soil i used. It did say it feed for so many months. I have added a small amount of nutes myself, but only for 1 day. I will discontinue the adding nutes for now and just watch my plant. I wish i could get my camera to take a picture of it to show you all. The leafs look dry. And have brown spots. But it does continue to grow. Each time i check on her she has grown a little bit. I did look up nutrient burn on google. And that is exactly what it looks like. Except not quite so bad.
