Please tell me what you guys think. Some leaves have tiny yellow spots. Some have burnt tips. Some are yellow.

My setup is a work in progress. I'm using a 400W MH light and I use Earth Juice for nutrients. I feed her every 3 waterings. Maybe this isnt enough? I have a PH meter coming so I can test the soil in a day or so.

Any comments or help is appreciated.
Please look at the pics that I posted here.
Thanks.

ok well one thing I see is you can have your lights closer.....
I've got a 400 watt hps that sits 8" from my plants... and well your area looks like it's bigger then mine....
my cab is 30" x 30" x 4'

as long as your temps stay 30C and lower your ok... now
about mites and other insects... I'd recommend getting ladybugs...
they are cheap, will definately not harm your plants in anyway, and it's
all natural....


here's a pic of how close your branch sets should be about, you should also get a fan or a stronger fan blowing across your plants... that will also help keep your temp down in the canopy of your plants...

that coloring on the stem is usually genetics... so don't worry about that too much....

it looks like it needs nitrogen...i have read books that show all the different signs of problems with leafs and usually when it's yellowing on the edges it's due to lack of nitrogen

Those little yellow dots are SPIDER MITES??
I spray Neem oil once a week for this...only a few leaves have them though..

How can I naturally raise nitrogen? I know this sounds gross but I hear 1 part urine to 10-20 parts water to raise nitrogen.
Anyone know much about this?

yeah..i've heard of that too...but one thing i know is that urine will also lower the PH..which could be bad if you already have a low PH....coffee grounds are high in nitrogen...put some on the top soil...it's slow release but it might do the trick..but then again, that could also fuck up your PH...just safer to use those than urine...not quite so high in acid

I thought the PH of human urine ranged from 5.5 to 7.2 about. With an average of about 6. If this is true then thats not so bad.

right..healthy human urine is 5.5...but you have to remember that, that plant is taking in urine...so pretty much you will be smoking urine....it's like the old thing about shitting in the lettuce patch...yeah it grows amazing..but in the end you will be eating shit..haha
