Help! Yellow Tips and heat issues

I am new to growing and borrowed a mother plant off a friend. The mother had many clippings off of it and I clipped 5 more off the plant. The plant looks like it is about to die. The top leaves are completely fried and the bottom leaves tips are turning yellow. The clones tips are also turning yellow. The leaves are curled down and seem rather dry.

I had a problem with heat and humidity at first. Running temps of 87-90F. Andf humidity levels around 28%-30%. Right now the closet is 77F and 40% humidity. Yet, the plant still looks sick. Can anyone identify my problem from the pictures? Also how can I manage to keep my interior closet cool with out leaving the doors open and then window open to let cool air in.

I am using a 400w hps bulb and reflector.

Thanks all

WOW that mother plant looks horrible. I don't know if there is much saving her... I would focus on your clones and figure out some ventilation. Get a fan in there to blow some air around and open your closet as much as you can.

Yep sure does. I think I may have lost it. I am focusing on the clones... but their tips are still turning yellow. any ideas?

your ph is definatly off yur light sucks and your mom needs a funeral. start over with good seeds and good ferts

My light sucks? How does it suck?

I use a 400 hps and it does not suck, and most of the people on this web sight use the same light. Your light is fine but your mother is dead, and you do have problems with your clones. I suggest you buy some good seeds from Nirvana. If you are new to growing then why not try growing in some good soil like Fox Farm and learn to grow. I just think hydro is hard for beginners.

100% soil here....no hydro...its potted in fox farm. I was taught by a reputable grower. Just thinking he gave it bat guano and I forgot and gave it rare earth and Im starting to think nut burn and heat burn

How far away is your light? What light schedule are you giving the clones? 18/6 or 16/8 are the best for root growth. Try moving up your light as well as flushing your pots and giving them just water for the next week or so until they are ready for nutes.. Could also be that the mother is on her way out, and the clones weren't really doing too good either when you clipped them off...

My light was initially only about 3-4 inches off the top leaves. They burned out and died due to 90F temps during the day when the closet was shut. I now leave the closet open most of the time. The clones are getting 20/4 as well as the mother.

I was thinking the mother was on its way out due to programmed cell death. I was told the mother, I borrowed, was 6-7 months old; but the mother was always kept under veg light (24/7). I was hoping if the mother was on its way to a programmed death that the clones would live. But if all cells are programmed to die, then the clones will as well.

I moved the light up so it is about 10 inches from the top of the mother. Give it a chance to cool off. I just flushed both the mother and the clones. When I flushed the mother a ton of orange, red, and brown came off. So I think the fox farm had way too many nuts in it. Lets hope for the best. Anyone else?

You want at least a foot or more off the top of the plant, probably a lil more because of your ventilation issues... Try chaning your light schedule to 18/6 and see what happens...

my advice would be to start over, get some decent seeds, and also get a fan blowing on the tops of the plants, installing a fan made such a difference to my grow

Yea, I've had a fan since the begin. (P.S. This is northern ligh)

nute burn. flush it. flush it good. lots of clean water. keep the light as high as possible for now. let them recover. they just might. plants are NOT programmed to die. i know of mothers over 10 years old. your plants got burnt. both heat and nute. you need a big exhaust fan to pull some heat off your light. you can save them!

you want to clip off yellow and brown tips or areas off clones...if you don't the disease will effect all of them...

Thanks everyone. I flushed both the mom and the clones. Then I clipped the yellow off the clones. They both seem to be improving. The light is now about a foot off or so.

78F 40% humid/ With a big fan

Hope they recover

lol WFT..? ^^^^ damm noobs

keep your light a good 12 inches from the plant at all time man. Im using a 400w HPS and i fried several plants the same way. Ye and change your light cycle to 18/6

Stop feeding your plants and make sure you do THIS..
