Ok I got a problem I'm growing wonder woman n my plants bout 2 and a half weeks old I got one 25w cool white bulb over it n it's been growing great real nice n bushy. These last couple of days I've been nticeing my lowest two fan leafs are starting to turn yellow. Now today I got up checked out the plant it was perfect came home from work n noticed four other fan leafs saggin lookin real tired on the point of dieing. Wats up?? Am I not useing enough light? Should I get another bulb for the side of the plant soo light can get up n between? I water every 3 days tap water 24hours sitting, with super thro e but jus a drop n the gallon ok useing. No nutrients, running the fan 24/7and got the plant on a 24 hour light cycle. Useing super soil potting soil. Like I said this just stRted happening , also I keep it n my closet, n my room which I share with my bro, now I know this sounds stupid but I've grown n the past , n noticed that when e we my bro smokes cigs n the room my plants look droopy, he doesn't smoke one lil cig but he smokes the whole pack. Hel trap himself in the room n go through a pack n the room will smell terrible, would that have somethin to do with my plants drooping also? Sorry for typeing to much

Yes it could have a negative effect on your plants ability to photosyntesize unless you have a carbon filter and some good exchange of fresh oxygen, this is a problem.

you should be ok...those leaves won't get any better will probably die off, but just let them do their thing. Keep a fan in their and make sure they are getting fresh o2.

are you mistaking your 'two lower fan leaves' for the cotyledons (sp)? (the first set, weird looking leaves)

im thinking you are.... if so they always die off. no sweat


i also think you may be overwatering them. make sure you have ADEQUATE DRAINAGE!!!!!!!!

andddd dont water until the soil gets a little dry...get a feel for your pot and soil

U mean the two ugly leafs the pop up first soon as the seedling breaks out of the soil? Nahhh I know those always die. But the first two leafs that come up after the two funy lookin ones. There yellow n dead/dieing. N now the Big fan leafs are droopy cause the cig smoke. Yea I water every 3days n check the soils with my finger usually when I check it it's bone dry. From the surface deep into the soil.
