George(anyone!),brown spots,yellowing, help!

nuthn2looze Registered on Aug-24-2007 More User Info Message #84231 posted by nuthn2looze (Info) September 11, 2007 12:45:56 ET Hey,it's me again. Things were going good, plants were growing almost by the hour. Now growing has really slowed or stopped. There's some brown spots and some yellowing of some leaves. Can you tell me what that's a sign of? I've watered once a week and they are not in the hot attic. I tried to attach picture but says message too big and I can't figure out how to make smaller. Anyway, your help is much appreciated! I'll still try to get picture up.

I should water everyday? Ok, let me tell you the set up. Right now I have 3 plants(about 2 to 2 1/2 weeks old) except 1 is a bit larger than the other 2. They are in a 5 gall container together. I know sounds crazy I guess but I figured they wouldn't all be females so I'd end up(hopefully) with at least 1 female. So I just watered today and the whole pot is wet to bottom. So are you saying to do that everyday? That's too much no? ok,just put a thermometer in the pot w/plants and read about 84 degrees. too hot? should raise the lights? Right now about 4 inches from plants. Also, besides the yellowing,the brown spots are also due to not enough water or could be burning? Thanks so much for your help, I really want this to work!

Some of the leaves got brown and crispy(and yellowed), I think they were burning? lights too hot,too close. I raised them up and I think they're doing better. Does that sound like burning to you? Oh, another question. Can't find perlite for some reason. I have a bunch of those styrofoam peanuts used for packing. Can I use those at bottom of pot for drainage? Or I can break them up. Isn't perlite styrofoam? Oh yeah, I read that you can sample shoots of the plant while it's growing. If I snip shoots will they grow back? can you tell I'm anxious? :] Thanks!

I didn't use the styrofoam,thank god. That was dumb on my part(I confused styrofoam w/polystyrene lol) I finally found perlite but it had plant food added! Stupid Miracle Gro brand,figures. So, I'll keep looking or get gravel. Thanks again. Peace & Bud!
