Rosella Purple leaves going brown and falling off

object16 · September 16, 2013

Hi, I started Rosella Purple and Dwarf Champion Improved for indoor grow. Right away, within 3-4 weeks the lower leaves on the Rosella are going brown and falling off, and the plant is quickly losing all its leaves. The Dwarf Champion is growing like a champ! Leaves are healthy, now at 7 weeks it is going into bloom and soon to be productive (I hope). I grow the seedlings under VERY INTENSE fluorescent, and now transferred over to 600W HPS HID, so there is lots of light! The light is on a timer for 16/8 day night cycle.

It looks the Rosella Purple is not a winner at all, even though outdoors it may be great, but indoors it is getting some kind of mysterious disease. P.S. in the spring I started all kinds of Cherokee Purple and Black Cherry seedlings indoors, so I know for sure my indoor facility is not lacking.

Why this problem with Rosella?

Could you post some pics of your plant?
And of the leaves which has been fallen down. Its difficult to say what it might be without some pictures.
