Now I really do have a problem. I am thinking that it is a Magnesium (Mg) deficiency because the leaves are starting to curl up twards the light. Is their any way other than Epsom salt?:mad: But the leaves have not changed color.

Hello, good lookin' seedling. I am growing in MG as well and have had the leaf burn issue as well, it will get worse if you don't do something about the heat for sure. The little desk fans are really hard to find this time of year. I looked at Office Max, Office Depot, Staples, Wally world and a couple department stores and nobody had any. I eventually found one at a thrift store for 3 bucks. I found light fixtures and other useful things at the thrift store too for my grow. Amazing. Check at thrift shops for the fans, thrift stores that have furniture and appliances will for sure have some laying around. Just a thought since I can't seem to find them at a retail store. Didn't check home depot though.

Happy Growing.

Ok so I just now got a dual fan with two settings on it and they are intake and exhust. I have one of them on intake and the other on exhust. Hopfully this will cure the problem with the heat, and help with strengthing the roots. The temp is now at 75 degrees F
Here is a pic of the fan

Nah, u aint gotta go and do all that- just clean it up and it'll work fine! Don't spend the money if u aint gotta!
And nice touch with the baby gate to hold the fan above the plant!

Bad news. I think that I got root rot. For the simple fact that I did not know that I should have put holes in the bottom of the container so that the excess watter will not not sit @ the bottom of the pot.:wall:

I started a new seed a couple of days ago and it has already started to take root to the peat pellet that it is in.

eh bro, just to let you know for veg you should be using 6500k DAYLIGHT and 2700k SOFT WHITE for flowering. Also, the issue with MG is that they got a slow release fertilizer and can burn your babies. How old are your plants now?

She is about 12 days old. I could have the daylight bulb. But it is not the 6500k it is only 2700k daylight. They highest that they carry is the 42 watt that I have three of.
The only reason that it is not the 6500k light is because walmart does not carry them, and the garden center does not carry any lights for indoor lighting.
I am concerned about if she has root rot or not.

Why do you think she has root rot? Also, Lowes, Home Depot and many other places sell the 6500k, I got 8 26 watters (6500k daylight) from wallmart. Do you have any pictures?

Because I did not poke holes in the bottom of the container that I put her into. When I finaly did a bunch of water came out that did not smell very good. Pluse she has not grown at all in the past three days.

Its ok really. I like to learn for things that I mess up on. But I did start some more seeds two days ago. So I am going to keep this thread going. For thoes seeds. I pooked into your thread. Yours are looking really good.
Thanks bro, i just transplanted about 4 days ago and my plants are just going crazy for the fox farm soil man. In a week I am switching from 8 6500k cfls to my 400 watt hps for flowring. My plants grow about a half inch everyday. i will be switching to 12/12 on next week some time. I keep the babies under 24 hours now and they love it. My plants are only 2 weeks and 1 day bro.

Wow thay are doing really well. Why are you only veging them for only three weeks?
Tell you the truth, I am living in North Carolina temporarily for "work" I will explain more in about 2 months, but I should be out of here in 2 months, so I want to make sure they are done and cured by the time I leave. I figure in 3 weeks they should be about 8" which should be sufficient hieght for 12/12. This way I will still get a decent crop out of them. I have 7 plants all from bag seed of some purpe. The only problem is they are not feminized. What's really fucked up is that in Arizona I got 10 white Rinos and 10 ak47 lowryders all feminized and a free 10 seeds of cali skunk unfeminized from dope-seeds.com, and I am all the way out here stuck in the middle of nowhere.
