Hey im a new rollitup forum member whats up guys. I have used information on rollitup before and its been very useful.
Alright, so today im wondering if anyone can help me identify what the problem is for my little pot plant. Here are my specifications
I use an OttLite model v80112 and here is the link for it http://estate-books-and-collectibles.ecrater.com/p/8213733/ottlite-high-definition-13w-black
I water my plant only when the soil on top is crusty and dry.
I use tap water only after letting it sit for at least 24 hours to remove the chlorine.
The soil I use is Miracle Grow potting mix.
I use no fertilizers or feed
This seed is from a corn sack my dealer sold me. No chronic or anything.
The plant is about 6 inches away from the Ottlite
Recently I bought a Brinks mechanical timer from wally world and it never worked properly. For the past 7 days or so the light schedule for my plant has been inconsistent, due to the malfunctioning Brinks timer. (I called customer support and they are sending me a newer model for free.)
Since it sprouted I had the Ottlite on it for 20 hours on and 4 hours off. I turned the light off at 12 noon and turned it back on at 4pm. While it was on this light schedule I had it under a sink, which provided good humidity and a constant temperature.
Recently, I moved it to the place you can see now in the pictures and changed the light schedule. I know this is bad and stresses the plant. I had my own reasons for doing this.
The new light schedule is still 20/4 but I turn the light off at 8pm and have it come on at midnight.
It has recently shown (past week) discoloration on the leaves. It’s a slight tint of yellow On one leaf where it looks the worst. I see small light brown areas starting to appear. The yellow tint seems to originate from the end of the leaf and heads toward the stem. I started to notice this when I moved it to its new location about a week ago.
Also the first leaves, called cotyledons i believe, became yellow and wilted so i clipped them off with nail clippers. I thought this might be a good idea so the plant can concentrate on making new leaves and stuff. You can see where I cut them off in one of the pictures.
I will upload better pictures for you guys later today when I borrow a better camera.
Some of the pictures that are fuzzy you can kind of see the yellow tint I’m talking about.
Any help at all would be appreciated.
