I have a plant that i started from seedling under my 400 watt sodium and it was doing great, its a foot tall in soil 3 gallon pot, the soil is a mixture off some good quality soils and manure, I dont have a ph tester but i only feed bottled water bought from an aqua water store.
A week ago i had some plants that i had to start flowering so i went and got a 100 watt blue spec flourex flood light that equals 1000 watt incondesent and also 4 red and 4 blue spec 23 watt spiral flouros that i put in a small 2and a half foot squared room in my cupboard, temp sits around 76
I put the veg plant in there 1 clone that was under the 400 watt aswell (very healthy) at 9 inches tall and 4 seedlings that i started under those new flouros.
The two plants that were under the 400w sodium were very healthy on a very low newts feeding 1 time a week as the soil and manure seem to be feeding them good enough.
after 2 days i could see they were both looking a little light in colour and stems were a little purple so i decided to give them a newts feed and since then 4 days they have just gotton worse, now they are really light green, i see what i think might be rust spots starting on the top larger shade leaves, the stems are a very dark red/purple colour all over and the leaves are curling down except the shade leaves with rust looking spots whitch are curving up from the sides.
I feel by the looks off them if i don,t work out and fix the problem soon they may die so any good info would be very helpful.
Also the seedlings under same lights all look to be ok with 6 leaves each now and they are in same soil mix and same size containers.
At this point as a new grower im stumped as to what the prob is or how to fix it.
