Month and a half into veg, yellowing/browning leaves on bottom

growmeinc · #1 (**permalink**) 03-28-2009, 09:47 PM

What type of medium; soil or hydro? soil
What brand and type of soil? Miracle grow organic
Indoors or outdoors? indoors
What strain? bagseed
How old are the plants? about 1 month and a half into veg (started feb 21st)
What type of lights and how many watts? 4 27 watt daylight, 2 30 watt bright white
How far from the lights? usually about 5+ inches away at least
What, how much and when was it fed? NPK?
What is the medium/runoff pH and PPM if in hydro? No ph tester yet (need one)
What are the temps and humidity in the room? temps are mid 70's humidity is around 30
What size pots? 10"
Any bugs? Look real close. didnt think there were any but i just saw like 1 really really tiny little thing in the soil eeek (hopefully that isnt the problem)
Any other pertinent info?

I started my plant on feb 21st, and it has constantly been having yellow discolored leaves and drying up / dying....now there are also brown spots and browning on the leaves....in my grow journal one guy said that my plant is over watered hence the "drooping" leaves, do you guys agree?

I just purchased Miracle grow organic nutes 8-0-0 and gave a very very small dose yesterday

red stems indicate a deficiency

hmm do you think it is just a nitrogen deficiency?

At 1.5 months old they definitely needed food. Give them a few days to respond to the feeding you just gave them.

i really do not think its from over watering, i really think its PH problems, fucking MG soil. Anyways i was just wondering iv heard flushing out the nutrients and salts in the soil is a good way to restart and refresh the PH level...are there any guides on how to do this?

How much water would you give a plant thats 6 inchs in an 8" size pot?

How long have they been in that soil?

i just transplanted them, i added some Nitrogen nutes and they have since started to perk up quite a bit, the problem may not be solved i think i def want to check the ph and see if that needs adjusting but i think it was just nute defficiency not over watering

OK Well MG Soil has nutes in it so if you just transplanted there are still nutes in the soil. I wouldn't feed it again for two weeks or so.
