i germinated my seed in 10 jiffy pellets which i soaked in tap water..squeed out the excess etc and put in my propogator and 8 sprouted within 3 days. I put the sprout in cups and now they've been growing for about 10 days since sprouting and ive thuroughly watered them twice cus i dont wanna over water.

his is what im workin with so far...
-10 BC Big Bud Seeds (non-femenized)
-200w CFL for veg
-Miracle Grow potting Soil
-12oz styrofoam party cups
-1 fan
-Supermax B1 nutrient (1-2-1) (3ml/ litre solution which ive only used once)
-my grow area has one window which i guess is enough ventilation??

The older leaves are getting spots on them and dying and i think this trend seems to be moving up the plant cause i checked today the upper leaves arnt looking as good as in this picture.

Looks like lacking oxygen in the roots. Use 35 ~ 40% vermiculite in the soil mix next xplant and careful with the watering for now.

low ph which causes nutrient lock out pretty quick if you are not a real scientist with your soils and ph , go with fox farm ocean forest like 20 bucks a bag and well worth it . those pics look like nute burn from getting nute water on your leaves ??

i was thinkin about the nute water thing also..but its only the bottom leaves that are gettin these spots so it probably IS the miracle grow...imma take ur advice and try out the fox farm though, hopefully its not too late

It is possible to use but I am not that hard pressed to use shitty soil if I do not have to and fuck with it for weeks trying to get the ph right ??

so just to clarify, when you say wash out the roots..do you mean physically when im transplanting, or after by flushing??

but you have got to be very careful and just try and get as much soil off of the root mass as you can so that you can get your ph back up in the living !! I did just that with the plant I gave you pictures of and it still produced 1 and a half oz. It will go in shock for a few days but recover and be happier in the long run , I think ??

How are they doing? Any change? Iam also using Supermax B1 BUT dont see why you are using 3ML A Litre....On the label it says to use 1ML per litre or 1-2 Litres for hydroponics with a reservoir..

<<Update>> (just over 3wks old now)
anyways to update i transplanted em into pro-mix hp (couldnt get ocean forest) and im using properly ph'd water...they're already getting back in shape. They got REALLY bad though before transplant. now they're in 1gallon grow bags and maybe 6-7 inches tall each.(pictures soon, gotta borrow my buddies camera again)
-about the B1 supermax i was actually using 1ml per litre just quoted wrong
-Im using a 10-15-10 fert my bro gave me at half strength now but im not sure if i should use something with a higher "N" rather than "P" cus its veg...does it matter that much?

Thank you so much stoney for the tips they REALLY helped a lot
