First time grower...sick plants?

**Ficus7475** · 28-07-20, 09:50 PM

So this is my first time growing. I have three plants that are about 2ish weeks old now. They just don’t look right to me. I have them indoors under a LED grow light. I started noticing dry spots and edges of leaves curling upwards which I assumed was light burn. I moved the light up higher but now the new growth seems to have these dry spots too. I have no idea what is causing them to look like this. Help please!

Welcome to the Talk dude, enjoy. That first picture looks like heat stress. How hot is it in your tent? JMO

Welcome bro!

Your pots are way too small...... Poor girls are ultimately doomed. If they are photos - you can recover them... autos give up.

Start again would be my option.

You need to specify coco/soil and feeding regime along with light details for any serious help.

What is LED? Quantum Board or Amazon rubbish????

Have a look at the infirmary section and fill in a post :-)

Not in a tent. I have them set up in their own room. I’ve been keeping my AC off during the day when I leave for work. It gets like 85 degrees sometimes in my place. Heat stress didn’t even occur to me but that makes sense now that you mention it.

Yeah the light is amazon rubbish. The plants are in potting soil and I have larger pots for them. Photos so hopefully they’ll bounce back. Worse comes to worse I can restart. I was told not to start feeding until they’re around a month old. Correct me if I’m wrong on that.

85 shouldn't cause heat stress.

Welcome to the talk.

Whats 85f in real money ... about 29celcius?

So long as you have sufficient air movement you will be fine at that heat. Get a laser thermometer on the leaves and you will see the temps there (where it really counts) are lower than the ambient temperature by 2-3 degrees

That light tho... 19w isn't going to cut it for any kind of serious yield, its going to struggle hard in flower and wont get any kind of decent penetration I'm afraid to say.
