Not really sure what the problem is here...:?
the very bottom leaves on my 4 week old plant have been drying up. We removed the worst leaves but its still happening on some others.
Here's some info:

-first thought was its rootbound.
(But I figured if it was rootbound we'd see the roots growing out of the small gaps in the bottom of the pot but there isnt.)

-The grow room isnt quite as warm as it probably should be.

-we havent used any ferts on her recently..maybe its a deficiency?

Give me your opinion!!!

You didn't list your dirt recipe at all by the way. I am new only with one dirt grow under my belt and now I am on to aero but here's what I think...

cricket cricket cricket Oh right we don't have to be that honest here...


If the plants are lacking something they can be taking it from those leafs and it could be an early sign. Leafs could just be not getting light though, but if I were going to add anything I would go with Ca Mg... Also you are popping a magic number to me 4 weeks, this is when nutrients should start. But again you didn't give us your dirt soup. Your nutrient schedule should begin now, unless you are using MG or something bad like that.

Nah, I'm just useing organic soil with a mix of perlite. I know well enough not to use MG haha.
So, I started a low does of nutes and I'm going to repot soon just to be sure.
As to what is wrong with these leaves is a mystery to me...
ANY other suggestions would be extreamly helpful.

Haha, yeah I hear ya.
Thanks for your opinion though, hopefully it did just need nutes. Should see in a few days I suppose. Though I do want to make sure it is.

No temp isn't an issue by your description and by the pics. Heat usually starts at the top or if it is so bad the plant will start to lean over.. I know this one..

Yeah when you think the plant has all it can from that leaf (it takes stuff back) then chop it off. If the leaf stem is softening up already, it is already trying to drop it off itself so then definitely chop it off.

its a magneisuim deficincy, make sure ur ph is also 6.5.

get a fert that has all the micro nutrients in it and feed it that..

nothing to worry about tho its only a few bottom leaves they will die off anyway..

Nice I was hoping others would chime in. I do think it is just a late start on your nute schedule, your nutrients will have Mg already, so you should see improvement now.
