Yellowness in starter leaf

geetardude · #1 (**permalink**) 11-26-2007, 07:48 PM

Hey,

I have 2 plants going. They are about a week old now. One, is having yellowing show on one of its original 2 starter leaves. You know, those two small very smooth ones.

I tried growing before a couple months back, and had this problem. It was the miracle gro I was using at the time. I dont know what it could be now, though.

I'm using Fox Farms Ocean Forest Potting Mix with nothing added. No nutrients yet. Temps are probably around 85. 111 Watts in a micro grow. From what I've read, it could be N deficient, Mg deficient (Cant be either of those since I havent used nutes.), or over watering. I didnt think I was over watering, though.

Anybody have an idea?

At a week old the starter leaves [cotyledons] should not be yellow. Most likely your FFOF Soil is too hot for them and starting to fert burn them.
