What did I do?!

[JoeThePlanter]

Why is the tip of the leaf turning black. Did I burn her? What should I do to wrong the mishap? Can a seedling recover from this? Thanks for the info.

hmmmm yeah not the best pic

 

try see if ya cam has a macro function and take again so we can see better

 

in the mean time what kind of soil ya got it in and what PH water ya giving it and are you adding any extra nutrience or fertilizers???

 

cheerz

Swim5 looks like you talking about one of the cotelydon leaves (i think they are called) I have seen this before, should grow normal once it gets a couple more leaves chances are that leaf will turn up right anyway.

 

if it dies plant another one, this is what growing is all about

Here's a better pic. As of right now I am only spraying peter solution on it once a day. I'm just starting up with this and I'm waiting for all my supplies to come in. How long do you guys usually wait from germination to start giving it nutes. I've read different things and am going to start with a low concentration mix but I'm not sure when to start it looking at the plant. All my readers are on order too so hopefully you guys can diagnose something just from seeing it.

Summary - dont fertilise it until its much older seed has enough mineral resourses to see it past 2 sets of adult leaves.

Make sure your not watering too much too.

 

If you wanna bore yourself here is a long winded banter.

 

You cant really diagnose nutrient defficiencies from looking. Its all too complex i mean even the most basic of them - a nitrogen deficiency is very complicated because it depends on the sulfur status of the plant and many other things.

 

You can however get a rough idea based on some basic principles such as whether its lower leaves and upper leaves, colouration and pattern. Images and explanations are all available on the net. Only tissue test can tell you for sure and no weed grower has this option.

 

I have grown tomotoes plants in many diff hydroponic solutions each with one missing nutrient the results were interesting and highlighted how difficult it is to tell the different nutrient deficiencies apart by eye. this was part of my plant studies at uni.

 

Anyway bottom line at that age dont fertilise it at all the seed has enough resources to get the plant to the 6 leaf stage!!

Therefore if you have been fertilising it this could be the problem its so young. It only has the tips of its first adult leaves the first two round leaves that appear are the cotyledons.

 

Prevention is better than cure.

 

There are so many ways to grow weed but a simple fail safe way is this. Buy a potting mix this will have everything the plant needs for the first month. Water often with little amounts (potting mix has low water holding capacity). and give your plants a quarter dose of nutes every week (potting mix also has poor nutrient retention properties) use complete fertilisers and avoid componentory ones eg

Use Dynamic lifter which has blood and bone in it rather than blood and bone itself

Or use a good balanced complete syn fert like osmocote rather than mixing N P K ferts yourself.

 

Fertilisers in most nurseries are a joke often price is a good indicator. cheap ferts avoid using expensive forms of nutrients and opt for cheaper chemical forms Eg KCl insted of KSO4 and citrate P insted of phosphate forms and N as urea insted of nitrate.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Also if these are under lights and the lights are too close that could explain it too had that problem once looked like that.

I'm sick of going out and having women treat me as a sex-toy; some penis detached from my feelings. Its always the same. I go out to a bar to have a few quiet drinks and low and behold I'm not there five minutes before some woman saunters up to me and makes an indecent proposal to meet her in her car, drive to her place or she'll rent a cheap motel room for dirty sex sessions. Short, plump, teeny Princesses in high-heels coax me to follow them into the Ladies' toilet – where they have friends waiting!

 

Doey-eyed, middle-aged Barbi doll types – their passions honed and bizarre – recline like beasts waiting to pounce. Its uncomfortable being preyed upon - like everyone of they would rape me with a thousand little ploys: a drink too many, crocodile tears, pleading dedications, the gentle, impolite touch of my leg... Sure, I've had lots of good meals bought for me, exotic cocktails, even taxi money. But that's not the point!

 

None of they respect me in the morning. They won't let me go until they've had 'one last one to remember me by'! Them they want to shower me and cook breakfast or go to a little place they know for fruit salad, croissants and coffee. Some of them even give gifts – like engraved cigarette cases, expensive cigars and cuff-links. I don't smoke cigarettes and there's not much you can do with an engraved cigarette case. And I rarely get the opportunity to wear cuff links!

 

All of the women I seem to meet are only interested in one thing! Most of them wouldn't know the colour of my eyes and that includes the ones that want me to father their children – like the local stud or something. I'm just used by woman after woman; one after the other.

 

I smoke dope to hide away from the degrading loneliness of sexual excess.

And I'm pretty wasted.

hahaha al fish you wasted alright dude........seriously bmwswim5 let some more foliage grow and you'll probably find it will come right, you know your chances of your baby being a girl are only 50/50 hey i would be putting in more than 1 until i found out the sex and then get rid of the boys, and then pick the strongest for my grow out of the girls.

Rose gardener has a little thing in her signature that goes "A good gardener always plants three seeds - One for the bugs, one for the weather, and one for herself. Or himself, if the case may be." I would add "and if its pot, plant 6 cos half are gonna be males."

All those women, no wonder there's a little tip burn AL

 

No woman no cry

 

Maybe go quiet on the early foliar or overwater bm. Just wait, it'll be right. Got a fan on them lightly for strength?
