highchome Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) Hi @Jrmiehazefvr, I'm also a newbie here, but perhaps giving some more detail will assist people in helping you further E.g. Do you have photos of the plants? What led grow light? How far is it from the plants? Pics of your setup? How often do you water? How old were the plants? What does "keep dying" mean? Has this happened before? At the same stage? Any chance you have an idea of the temperature grow room/area? Bag seeds / from a seedbank? Auto/feminised etc? Hope that helps and good luck Edited April 25, 2019 by highchome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkunkPharm Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Are you only using palm/coco peat? I would recommend using vermicompost, peat and perlite in a 1:1:1 ratio. If you are only going to feed water you will have to pH your water to 5.8. Peat also contains no nutrients. Vermicompost does so you can feed wate for some time. Are you going organic or hydro? If you are going organic use sodium bicarb and lemon juice you pH up and down. I suggest doing an organic grow the first time round. It is more forgiving. Also invest in some soil. Organics matter has a craft soil and freedom farms has one. Welcome to the forum. Sent from my VTR-L09 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrmiehazefvr Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 It happened once before then I tried again and it still the same . only using palm peat thank you guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailblazer420 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Im not too sure that light is going to do the trick. When you say your plants died, did they stretch a lot quickly and then fell over and died? Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkunkPharm Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 This is a set I did for a friend. Every thing cost R4200. Seeds was an extra R800. If you want all the detail send me a PM. You could get away with less if you only do one light. Sent from my VTR-L09 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oolong83 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Same thing happened to some of my plants too. But the majority was fine. I assume i messed up something there, maybe over feeding/watering soil ph could be off i have since dbled up on lights and lowered closer to the plants. I use cfl lights 90lumen/w 6000k i use 4 different nutz, but only today started to ph it to 5.5-6.0 before applying. im giving them a few more days to see if they improve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
