pal_treaux · #1 (**permalink**) 07-18-2009, 08:43 PM

it may be kind of hard to see in the pictures but the leaves are starting to turn white/yellowish. day 10, soil is fox farm ocean forest, water ph is around 6.8, no nutes, 18/6, avg temp is 75, and it happened on 3 different plants, any ideas? thanks

400w hps, no nutes. just FFOF soil and water. Happened on 3 plants, I added a little bit of epsom salt to 2/3 and it seemed to work. New growth looks fine, the one without salt still looks a bit odd though. first 2 pics are ones w/ salt, 3rd is without. peace

Ocean Forest does have nutrients in it, it's a little hot for seedlings. I usually flush it pretty thoroughly when I'm putting babies into it.

so for future reference, is there anything I should do before putting seedlings in ffof besides flushing real well? I have used Scotts top soil before on seedlings and they've done well.. eh, maybe a mixture? let me know what you think.
