Is in a 250 w GL60 tent..
I watered it completely one day because the soil continues to dry out almost immediately after I ater it and when I woke up the leaves curled and dried to the point where if I touch them they break up :(

I keep having to start over in this tent. Really frustrating. I don't know what the problem is??

oh yeah this is a soil grow.

you don't give enough information grasshopper but i can tell right off that those pots are too big for starting seeds in, ...and i'd bet your medium is drying out so fast because your lights-on temperatures are too high, ...but you don't share that information so i can only speculate.

peace, bozo

More air. Try more fresh air, get a little table fan. Soak it before bed untill water comes out the bottom. Hope that helps :peace:

The soil is that fox farm ocean stuff..
temps are 100 degrees most of the time .. Not sure why I asked about it in another thread.
i was watering them almost 3 times a day since the soil completely dried out, spraying the leaves
I just moved the light up a couple inches
the night before the plant ended up looking like that I watered the soil until it started to come out the bbottom
Light is hps. Tent is (2x2x5).
Pots are 3gal and 1.5gal

not sure how bigger pots would hurt the plants..I can see how smaller pots would help tho.

temps way to high............. get a 6' fan for air circulation and some intake/extraction and get rid of that heat ;)

your temps is way to high ideally you wanna be at 76 degrees your at a 100 degrees that is why your soil is drying out too and if you dont have co2 in there growing at those temps is gonna be hard fixing your temp should fix your issue

Thanks I know it's too hot I just couldn't figure ut why. I wasn't sure if it was the bulb specifically but I do need to find a fan. I have a carbon filter attached to an inline right now all setup not running though until I get ducting for the exhaust.

So the fan and co2 should fix this?

...you shouldn't even be thinking about Co2 man, using carbon dioxide is an advanced technique best left for a time when you know more about the basics, ...first learn how to not cook them, ...if you had done even a little basic research you'd have known that 100 degrees was lethal to your plants, ...get that fan and exhaust working NOW if you want your plants to survive.

...post up some pictures of your setup and maybe some of us can help you but ultimately it all falls on you man, if you don't actually do it, well, you're looking at what happens when you don't do you're homework right now.

peace, bozo
