IM DEF A NEWB AT THIS GROW STUFF! THIS IS MY FIRST ONE ACTUALLY...ANYWAY IM STARTING TO BECOME DISCOURAGED. I GERMINATED 4 WHITE WIDOW SEEDS, 1 GERMINATED FASTER THAN THE OTHERS SO I PLANTED HER ON 10/5(SHES THE ONLY SURVIVOR) THEN THE OTHERS ON 10/8. I QUICKLY MADE MISTAKES EVEN AFTER ALL MY READING AND RESEARCH, I OVERWATERED THEM AND THE 3 SEEDS DIDNT SURVIVE! :cry:
SO I FOCUSED MY ENERGY ON THE 1 SURVIVOR "WILLOW". AT 10 DAYS OLD I FED HER SOME NUTES, MAYBE A MISTAKE! 2 DAYS LATER I TRANSPLANTED HER INTO A BIGGER BREATHABLE POT. SHE WAS LOOKING GOOD, THEN SHE STARTED SHOWING BROWN ON THE LEAVES SO I MOVED THE LIGHTS FURTHER AWAY THINKING THAT WOULD HELP, WRONG!!! SHE CONTINUED TO BROWN SO I STARTED MORE RESEARCH AND CAME TO A CONCLUSION THAT SHE MIGHT BE CALCIUM DEFICIENT SO I WENT AND BOUGHT SOME CALMAG+. I MIXED A TEASPOON INTO A GALLON OF WATER AND SPRAYED HER DOWN,NOT TOO MUCH BUT WET HER GOOD. I LOOKED AT HER TODAY AND NOW THE LEAVES ARE TURNING YELLOW. I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO...PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!!!

yellow leaves mean over feeding or newt burn. i also think you dont have enough light. you want 125 wats of cfl for 1 plant i would say.

I get the feelling you shouldn't have fed her nutes, or at least your nutes might have been too strong, that soil should have enough ferts to feed her for a few weeks, I doubt it was cal deficiency, what soil is that?

ease off the nutes and let her do her own thing for a few weeks, dont water so much and dont spray, you are causing you own problems, whatis your PH?

sorry, I just call them as I see them and your plants look over nutes (IMHO)

and your pH needs to be at least in the ballpark....you can even buy pH test drops in a pet/fish store....you want to be mid 6's

isk thats the funny shit...i just sprinkled maybe a quarter size in the soil on the 14th i think! I dont think that would be enough to burn them imo.

At that age/size? Yes it could be enough. Hell some soil is already too hot for seedlings then throwing extra ferts could cause problems. You should never have deficiency at that age as the cotyledon have everything that they need. It could be growing in styrofoam and would be fine at this age.
