Ok, now I'm new to growing weed and I've been having a bitch of a time getting it to germinate. Out of 15 seeds planted, I have 4 plants to show for it. When the few lucky ones do come up, the tips of the leaves are brown and dry, as can be seen in the attached photo.
I used the paper towel method to get to the taproot stage and when they go into the soil, this is what happens to them. From what I've been reading, it looks to me like nutrient burn.I could be wrong, bearing in mind I'm inexperienced with growing weed.
After wracking my brain over it I thought to look on the bag of soil and it says that it's enriched with plant food. Could this be the cause of my problem?
The soil is from a Canadian WalMart, Pro-Mix with MycoActive (TM) Organic Growth Enhancer, which gives a "gradual release of nitrogen." Does anybody have any experience growing weed in this soil, and if so, what kind of results have you had with it?
Other than that, my setup is in a small alcove that the fridge used to occupy. For lights I use a combination of CFLs and screw-in LED floodlights; the source of heat is a small space heater placed just outside the setup; the source of humidity is a pot of water for evaporation; and air movement is accomplished using an 8" fan.
Any information would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance and happy growing!
