Well why don't you start off by giving us some information....

Soil Growers:
1. Are you growing from seed or clones?

I'm growing from random seeds found in my bud from time to time.

2. How old are your plants?

Two months since being sprouted.

3. How tall are your plants?

The tallest is about 12 inches tall.

4. What size containers are they planted in?

I'm not sure what the pot size is.  Maybe a 1/4 of a gallon size pot.

5. What is your soil mix?

During the seeding, they were in just cheap potting soil.  When I transplanted them, I put "Vermifire" in the bottom half (30$ per bag) and "Pro-mix" in the top half (10$ per bag), as the "vermifire" would have burned the roots.

6. How often do you water and what type of water do you use?

I use tap water, and I try to water once a day or every other day, depending on how dry the soil is.

7. What is the pH of your water?

Haven't tested yet.

8. What kind of fertilizer do you use and what is its NPK ratio?

I don't fertilize.  I wanted to buy expensive, nutrient rich soil so that I wouldn't have to use fertilizer.

9. Do you foliar feed or spray your plants with anything?

I don't know what that means.  I just fill a cup with water and gently water at the soil level.

10. What kind of lights do you use and how many watts combined? (HPS, MH, fluorescent, halogen, incandescent "plant lights")

I have 4 CFF light.  One 150watt, two two hundred watt, and one 300 watt. The 300 one gives off 3860 lumens and is in the color range of 2700.  I also have a florescent tube that is red spectrum 3,000, that gives off about 3,000 lumens.

11. How close are your lights to the plants?

2 inches or so from the tops.

12. What size is your grow space in square feet?

It's in a closet.  About 2' x 2'.

13. What is the temperature and humidity in your grow space?

Temp is around 80 degrees.  Humidity is 40.

14. What is the pH of the soil?

Haven't tested pH of soil.

15. Have you noticed any insect activity in your grow space?

No, just yellow leaves at bottom and now drooping.

16. How much experience do you have growing?

This is my first grow.

You let the leaves fall off on their own, or come off with a gentle tug. 

They wont recover or heal themselves. 


I'd say they're yellowing due to a lack of nitrogen.
