Hi there guys and gals, I have 5 plants under a 125watt cfl that are meant to be transplanted mid june time. They had just been topped and all was well then I got back from work and the edges of the leaves were going brown and it is getting worse. I gave them 1/4 strength nutrients as I have soil prepared for for when they go outside. can anyone help. I thaught it might be a ph problem but the soil 6.5 when I first potted them so it cant be that. Can any help me!!!!

Did you feed them before they turned ? If you did, then they didn't like what you gave them....you could try drying them up a little and don't feed them anymore until they recover....

I'm only guessing, given the very few facts given.....he just fed the plants after they were topped...is this stress or not?? I just think it would be smart to back off and see what happens next.....

Soil pH measured in the beginning of a grow is not accurate as pH of peat based mediums becomes more acidic over time. Kind of hard to help without pics but could you also possibly be over watering? I always add this in because it is such a common issue for people that causes an array of different problems. And the worst part about overwatering is that when people see there is a problem with their plant they tend to water more often to try and fix the problem.

. Yup I'm on my first grow and I overwatered noob mistake. I let it dry out 4 days or so watered again and the droopy leafs picked back up still have some yellow leafs though.
