| Hi Folks, Got a problem with an Park's Better Bush plant I'm trying to grow indoors. The plant was started from seed in a cup and transplanted after two weeks into a 1gallon rootmaker pot. It did very well for the first two weeks then the lower leaves began to curl inward and some became yellow and died. The garden specs are as follows: Solarflare 200w LED light Roots Organic Original soil Distilled water with Cal/Mag and Pro-Tekt Temps 60 at night & 75 during the day Humidity 45 to 50 percent Grow booth is Mylar lined. I transplanted into a five gallon Rootmaker pot at six weeks and the plant is growing well at the top but dying at the bottom. Any ideas would be appreciated. |

| Here is the Better Bush at four weeks. Looks very healthy. |

| You have not said anything about fertilizing !! How often you water it ? 200w for a single plant, under LED? Probably it has been OVER fertilized, OR over watered. OR both. The color of the foliage (if it is true, at correct camera light) tells me the plant has got a high dose of Nitrogen. |

| Thanks for the input. The plant has received no fertilizer yet except for the ferts in the Roots Organic Original soil. I've been watering up to 75 percent of field capacity and then letting it dry out to 30 percent before watering again. I do this by weight on a very accurate scale. As for the light, I have grown a 4 foot "Red Cherry" plant with great results. (Got 92 golf ball sized tomatoes and another 80 or so on the plant when I switched to tap water and that killed the plant. Later found the pH of my tap was 8.31) |
