My plants started out pretty good and now they are starting there second set of leaves. The first set are kind of highlighted in yellow around the jagged edges and the oval shapped leves are turing yellow and brown and starting to fall off please help me on what to do.
My system is a 5 sq. ft. box with 2 40watt flourescent lights, 2 15watt agro lights and 3 20 watt flouresecent lights that say daylight on them. I used to water them every 4 days now I water them every other day with distilled water that has 20-30-20 or 20-20-30 fert in it. I also have a fan going on either 24hrs. or about 14hrs. (I have 5-6 plants in this box). My soil mixture is half manure half fertilized potting soil with peat moss sprinkled on top in 3 galllon pots with 3-4 holes drilled in the bottom. The temp is 70-80 degrees depending on the day. Am I not getting enough light too much fert what?

Sounds like a bit too much water; let the soil dry out a bit and don't use the ferts at full strength for that size plant. And doesn't peat moss lower the pH? I'll have to check on that one but be sure your soil is not too acidic...

Good Growing

what about the light factor cani get away with that little light or do I have to move some of them outside

lilbuddie

I don't think it's enough light at all. It sounds like it might be good for sprouting seeds and rooting clones though
