kindness · #1 (**permalink**) 06-20-2007, 06:33 PM

One of my plants are yellowing. I have a about a 1 1/2 foot tall plant, very nice growing its 3rd set of 9 pointed leafs.But the leafs of the bottom of the plant are yellowing. Accualy they are very yellow and now the leafs above them are starting to yellow too. But the top of the plant looks healthy as can be.

Whats going on and what do I do?

Well they are outdoors, the soil of the plant that is yellowing is regular soil I dug from the ground b/c I dont have any soil right now.

The plant originally was growing right across the street from my house on accident, its where I threw all of my seeds. So I saw a couple days ago and transplanted it into a pot, filled it up with soil I dug, and put it in my grow spot.

it could be overwateing, but chances are it hungry

Miracle-Gro® Water Soluble All Purpose Plant Food (they make several fertilizers be sure its
this one)

c0236933b0a7a4
Fertilizer Analysis: 24-8-16 with micronutrients
2 level "Teaspoons" per gallon of water, (reduce this by 50% first time application) feed
every other watering till flowering

Budding ferts I recommend Fertilome, Root Stimulator and plant starter....
the NPK is perfect: 4-10-6
2 teaspoons per gallon of water every other watering........ use this as your water
...discontinue use 3 weeks prior to harvest...flush last 2 weeks...thats it no water .....

UCF-Toker

fox farms contains organic ferts and should last 30-60 days for a small plant such as yours, it should not be yellowing, unless its has a ph lockout or your watering too much too often

To rule out PH related issues complete a soil runoff PH test.......
with PH corrected water (6.5-6.8PH ) pour enough water in the pots so the water runs out the bottom of the pot ...test the PH of this water....
If the PH reading is out of optimum range 6.5-6.8 PH, you need to flush your plant.
Flush with PH corrected water, till in optimum PH range, 3 times the volume of the pots rule of thumb but may require more
EG: 1 gal pot = 3 gal. flush
add 1/2 strength nutes to the last gallon of the flush

I had this happen in my outdoor grow,

i added Urea, which didn't do much...

Then i added Blood & Bone. It was in powder form, and that fixed the problem right away, It may have been a nitrogen problem, but i was feeding it nutes and it was doing nothing.

Well I did put some miracle grow on it but I dont think it was near as much as it needed.I put very little b/c I have heard so many horror stories of adding too much.

Also, how much water do I add with all of the nutrients in the water?

UCF-Toker · #11 (**permalink**) 06-21-2007, 05:15 AM

thanks for the reply GG. i've got little pots that the roots grow through so water doesnt really leak out... how often should i be watering them?

I dont know that Id use MG ferts if I were you, your right there are many horror stories, & maybe you dont read so much? I fear you may become a horror statistic.

I already gave you complete instructions

your problem sounds like rootbound issues, can you post pics? and grow details on another thread

UCF-Toker · #14 (**permalink**) 06-22-2007, 09:19 PM

here is a close up and a long shot. in the long shot you can see the rest of the plant looks great. this is happening to more and more of them

transplant into 4 or 5 gallon buckets........& start feeding

after thier health improves (about 1 week you will see significant changes) you may want to consider topping, fimming, or LST controll on those puppies
