okay, so i had 2 plants growing..they were both real healthy and then one day one of the plants leaves began to curl, dry out, and develop brown spots on them, cut them all off (the ones that this happened to) and left the new growth on it, but they seem to look like theyre beginning to do the same thing. wtf is goin on? the other plant is under the EXACT same conditions and is healthy as fuck. any ideas?

Soil or hydro, what is the ph and what nutes at what strength are you using. What kind of water? What type of soil? there are two many variables to answer, pics would help...

for soil im using Stagreen tropical and im using an african violet bloom booster 11-35-15 every like 3-4 waters

i dont have my camera right now, its being repaired so i cant post pics. its just weird because i have another plant under the exact same conditions, water, soil, nutes, light, everythign is the same..and the plant was real healthy too, then just randomly the leaves started dying

if you are vegging you dont want to add bloom booster, you want lots of nitrogen, not phosphate

What is your ph at, ph is very important for nutrient uptake. you should try to keep your ph around 6.5 - 6.8 By the way i love that song, who's version do you like better shinedown or lynard skynard?

Are you using tap water? If so do you let it sit out for 24 hours before you use? Ph, Ph, Ph very important...... What strength are you using for the nutes?

Yeah the skynard version is the shit. I cant stress how important ph is there is not much you can do now until you know your ph i would suggest a flush with ph'd water of course. If you were to add any nutes right now to fix a potential deficiency you could be doing more harm. Low or high ph can cause nute buildup or lock out. I really suggest a meter but if not go with the strips so you can test the drainage more accurately. What lights are you using and how close?
