im groeing kc 39 in canna under a 150w envirolite and they ar einto there first week of veg

everything seems to be going fine but the leafs at the bottom of the plant seem to be shriveling up and turning yellow, whilst the leaves onthe top seem to be going a light green colour working from the inside out.

is this a nitreint problem or maybe a heat problem.


Also i was quit shocked to see that a few of the leaves on my plant have 8 leaves instead of the standard 7, strange !!!!

Easier if you can take a picture of the problem...

Have you got air coming in and out? What temps are you getting?
What medium you growing in...

Could be alot of things... as many details as possible are needed

They are young - 1 week & possibly only have there first set of leaves poped open.

If the leaves are the small oval shpes ones at the very bottom of your seedling all is normal. the plant from seed will have enough stored nutrients to last approximate;ly 2 - 3 weeks. It will loose/use the stored nitrogen in those small leaves.

By "Canna" do you mean your using Canna Coco as your medium (compost)?

You've said your using a 150w enviro. Can you let us know if you mean a 150w HPS or an envirolight set (fluro tubes)?

The difference is alot when it comes 4to light distance and heat/ventalat4ion control.

All the best CH smoke.gif

right the plants are 1 week into veging so they have quit a few leaves on them.

they are ruffly about 4 inchs tall, and are grwing in canna coco under a 150w envirolite (not hps).

The light is about another 4 inchs away from the plant.

the top leaves are turning a light green colour from the inside out and the bottom two leaves are wilting and dying off (not the round leaves as they have dropped off already)

I am feeding them 2ml monkey juice grow, 2ml Monkey juice grow B, and 5ml Seaweed (all per litre) every 3 days giving them a good soaking until i see run off

Inside i have a fan circulating air and the temp is at 80
Captain-Hardcore
to me it sounds like a nut diff , instead of just adding the 2ml A+B per litre should i step it up to maybe 3 or 4ml
