Newbie Plant Problems

Dear anyone who can help,

Hi i have grown before but outside and with less problems using 20-20-20 fert and water with just dirt but besides that, now im starting an indoor...i have read different theories all over the net about adding organic material and adding benificial bacterias to the dirst......regaurd any of the techniquies i have used i have had plant growth everyday

Each plant regaurding size gets smaller leaves as you go up the plant until you get to the canopy(top) and each new grow shoot along the top..im growing it compact so each bottom shoot caught up with the top but still exibits new leaves taking forever to open up..very narrow...inner part of the leaves remain yellow and slowlyslowlllllly starts to turn green as time progresses but new leaves are smaller and more yellow...all old growth is uneffected. the middle leaves of the plants ie the new shoots are starting to sex but still are pale green and alot smaller(deficient)in comparisson to the large fan leaves and older growth

this is my first question not really put together if anyone can help that would be fantastic and i have pictures if that will help

im getting messages from people but mi not getting a complete answer. does it look like a nitrogen def? i still have the first set of leaves at the bottom that looked like tree leaves.

Nitrogen def possible. Pale plants, red stems, smaller growth. Rapid yellowing of leaves up the plant. If this sounds like you situation add nitrogen. The soil your using probably already has nutes in it but if you have flush in the past it may need some. Not totally sure of your situation. Hope this helps.

i can take pictures, iv official can tell its a female today im so happy! but its still lagging in something because the leaves are very narrow and its growing slow..your call

What type of soil?
soil ph?
water ph?
nutes?
lighting?
veg or flower? how long?
It could be many things bro, for instance... if your ph is off it could be causing nitrogen to be locked out, adding more N without knowing for sure is asking for problems. Although it sounds like a N def. But what's causing it? You must narrow things down and try to pinpoint the problem before taking action. How does the plant look otherwise? pics?

Get us some pics and we'll be able to pinpoint the problem ...

well i took these pictures with bad lighting a a 10 digi cam and i was stupid and put it in flower until morning and didnt realize that since it had no screen for it was 10$. thank you everyone for posting i will answer questions in the morning im glad someone finally got back to me on this im so excited for some help p.s. its a her!

Maybe its just bad lighting but she is looking okay to me.

well she gets direct sunlight threw a glass window from about 10 until 5 then gets the other 5 underneath 5500 kk cfl on top of a stove with a balast. then gets put in the dark. and repeated. let me know

Wow she looks really good then for that light schedule. You should try and keep your lighting more constant. Thats probably why you think it is looking yellow. Since you're flowering you want to be a little more careful with your lighting. Try to find a way to keep full CFL on her or even while she is getting sunlight. It's just that the sun varies how much light it puts out, with bulbs its a constant.

Seems like the moving plants from place to place throughout the day sounds like alot of work. Might be better if you had one place. Same constant light instead of changing light types. From real light to cfl. Not sure how this might affect. But it just seems like it would be happy just one way. The pic with the spots. Sounds like there could be too much Mg (magnesium) in the soil. Add Mn (manganese) to soil to couter the Mg. Still the pale pic looks like lack of N (nitrogen). I wouldn't make too many adjustments just yet. Take in all feeedback and acess your problems one at a time.

in responce to that i can say that the spots are from when i put it under the cfls with out the fan and it stretched a tiny bit upwards to get the light and it burnt...but its grown since then she is ok.... just those leaves at the top of each shoot take awhile to get bigger and greener. so yeah its at each shoot..

and in attempts to go out and get a ph tester on a budget my card sisnt work so i have to wait for the money to get on the card. so i went with a dilute solution of 20-20-20 with a fine mister under the leaves..im trying this will be my first success i cant wait

follier feed with with a nute thats high in nitrogen,just add a little to water and spray ya plants and raise ya lights for a while until the waters evaperated.i had a similiar problem.

well my baby is flowering like a good girl, and i hit her up with som 20-20-20 ratio peters fert. let me know whats good

i cant wait!! anything i could do to get bigger better yeild?

so she looks sad after a certain time... and now her stems of the upper leaves and around each bud site are getting noticably darker red/perple. mad? deff HELP !!

Everything is fine and well thanks for talking! its like my tricromes are ICED OUT 1100!!!
