The two plants in the front sprouted 10 days ago. As you can see the plant on the left is having some trouble with its two biggest leaves, although now there not as big. This has all happened in like two days. Anyways whats wrong and what should I do?
Thanks
I just went back and answered your questions and realized I don't know much about what I'm doing lol. I do apologize, this is my first grow and im just tryin to learn
Hydro Growers:
1. Are you growing from seed or clones? seed
2. How old are your plants? 10 days in the front 2 days in the back
3. How tall are your plants? 3 and 1/2 inches
4. What type of hydro system are you using? aerogarden
5. What brand/type of nutrients are you using? the aerogarden comes with white tablets for nutrients, i have just used those
6. What is the Ph of your nutrient solution? im not sure im new to growing
7. What is the PPM/EC of your tap water? no idea
8. What is the PPM/EC of your nutrient solution?no idea
9. What is the temperature of your nutrient solution? no idea
10. Does your PPM/EC show a rise or fall when you do your daily PPM check? no idea
11. Does your pH show a rise or fall when you do your daily check? no idea i dont know how to check that
12. Do you foliar feed or spray your plants with anything? no
13. What kind of lights do you use and how many watts combined? (HPS, MH, fluorescent, halogen, incandescent "plant lights") two 26 watts (not sure what kind its what came with aerogarden)
14. How close are your lights to the plants? 6.5 inches
15. What size is your grow space in square feet? maybe 1 foot
16. What is the temperature and humidity in your grow space?about 74 degrees not sure about humidity
17. Have you noticed any insect activity in your grow space? no
18. How much experience do you have growing? none
Also on the marijuana plant problem solver this seemed what was most like my problem
13) Leaves twist, then turn brown or die. >> The lights are too close to the plant. Rarely, a Calcium (Ca) or Boron (B) deficiency. b) If not… You may just have a weak plant.
The thing is I have moved my lights up twice since this started happened because this is what I had originally thought could be the problem. Plus my second plant is fine

I would say you have a problem with lack of food and an unbalanced PH. Most likely your solution is too alkaline and your plant is not uptaking its food properly. Invest the 6 bucks in a dropper PH test kit (found in the aquarium section, pool stores, hardware stores, etc), test your water, and adjust it with Ph Down if necessary. I'd also invest in some nutes which were designed for cannabis, I highly doubt those pellets that come with your kit will work very well.

Any nutes tailored for hydroponics, just get something fast. General Hydroponics, Advanced Nutrients, Botanicare, Canna and Fox Farm are some brands you can't go wrong with.
Like Coda said you need a PH tester also, try to keep it around 5.8 during veg. Good luck, those can be nursed back to health quickly with some care.

Search local.google.com for "hydroponic store" or "indoor gardening store".

Good luck with that if you're in the south. Its 3 hours north or south from here for the nearest hydro stores. Three hours north the store is pretty sorry and I'm pretty sure watched by the cops. There was an "Accident Response" police car parked in the lot when I went last time with officers sitting in it. I haven't heard good things about the place(s) to the south of me either.

They can't bust what they don't know about. grow safe. don't toss anything out, compost or burn your clippings and above all tell no one.
That's what everyone else says any ways.

Police departments can't just watch you go into a hydro shop and then bust you. It's not enough for them to get a warrant. And from what I hear they don't do that anyways. Like was said before, be safe, don't throw shit out.
