move yer light closer i keep my 400w 12 inches away...... lower leaves will yellow and brown for a few reasons most common is that they don't get enugh light under the canopy of the plant and is normal without seeing the plant its impossible to tell if that is the cause

how tall is the plant how old is the plant add a picture if you can

cheers bud for the reply, i have added pics matey but i think moderator has to verify my post first? im sure that would be right, the plant im worried about is just over 1 ft ,hopefully my pictures will appear soon and u guys can see

u think a couple energy savers on the sides would help it pal?

cheers again ma man

gave u some rep (i think) lol, im sure i done it right lol

looks like a bit of nute burn bud, although ya feeding schedule sounds good, the soil it is in looks like a pre mixed soil with nutes already in such as bio bizz soil, sometimes its a bit burny but u should be ok jus feed every 3 waterings or so 1/2 strength. a 250w hps will be more than sweet for 1 plant and ya temps sound fine! have u gt air moving through the room as this will help especiallyu in flowering stage. wild guess are u a fellow welshman?

i would call that as nute burn.......... what soil are you in

i would flush it and than feed lightly on the next watering unless it is a soil that does have added nutes if that is so than just hit with water and stop feeding, do not flush with that type of soil it will just make it worse

thanks for reply sweetsmoker and tusseltussel, im not sure what sort of soil its in, i have 3 plants,a little older than first said in first post (had to ask my mates wife,she had a rogh idea) 1 just about 2 weeks old, 1 other 1 thats unidentified lol,and the biggest 1 is actally 5 weeks, i have a small fan which i have on,temps drive me crazy trying to keep it right,i always lower the plants down a little at night aswell because it gets hot in there , i cannot leave it on at night, due to the noise,i have an exit on the ceiling i had made,its about1 a 1/3 meter square,with a little netting covering the hole (which leads upto my loft),i have my loft window open a little aswelljust to make sure the heat has somewre at leat to escape,the temps are not too bad,but i cannot keep the plants to near the light as the temp goes sky high

you guys are great

im not a fellow welshman my friend,but a scotsman

get used to picking up the pots and feeling how heavy or light they are.... light pot=need water. heavy pot = wait another day or 2..... i also pop my finger in up to the second knuckle if you feel wet wait another day

cheers guys much appretiated, thats they way ive been goin by, - by the weight of the pots etc, thanks for the advice troops,will post back if i have any changes, good or bad lol,its all a little fun for me right now,but once ic had them a while ill begin to try look after them better, im a newbie at this sort of thing,so this is jsut really a lil test run for my first shot

one thing i have to ask u guys, is - when i make my mix of biobizz i used 2ml biobizz per 1000ml water - now this is the tricky bit i dont know,should i just spray lightly on the soil wen feeding them with jsut a few sprays?, or is that full mix a watering? or at least some of it, hopefully ive explained myself right

ive been doin alot of lurking aswell because im trying to get a better understanding of this good shit, so i can do it better next time,and hope to take part in future convo's and learn from the best

take care you lot
