Ok, this is my very first attempt at a growth. I was given these two plants in very poor condition. WIth the 0 experience i have, I have been doinf every thing i know how to in order to fix themm. with as much help from here as I could get.

It just seems like every day I go in there, something new is wrong...

Now, the plant I said was healthy, and looked like she was gonna be a nice fatty, has an issue. On the last two photos im going to upload, you can see the leaves curling up on the one plant. What do you guys think this is from?

I will be going to Home depot in about an hour to get some Neem Oil for the plant on the left in the final picture, is it had thrips, dont see any more, but want to make sure. Should I be getting something to help the other plant with its curling issues?

I just look on a site, it seems like it could be a Ph problem?

Best advice I can give you is to stop worrying...you are going to create problems by trying to fix these things...all plants will have some little issues here and there, but you can't freak out everytime a leaf is twisted or discolored.

^I agree.. however, a pest issue should be taken seriously.
are you sure it is/was thrips?
I believe spinosad will work better for thrips than neem.

Based off this information, http://www.growery.org/2991/Diagnosis, I would feel comfortable saying its thrips after seeing the coloring on my plant.

As for the leaves curling, I was thinking Ph, because of the site again. I'm new to growing, so I didnt plan on adjusting anything unless some one was pretty sure it was the reasoning.


Thanks for help.

These plants were in terrible shape when i got them. They look better now, then they did 2 days ago.

Im on my way to homedepot now to go get another 400 wats of lighting. right now, its using LOTS of reflection, under......90 watts of light, maybe.... + a little reflection of some sunlight.
