Hello this is my first ever grow. It is grown outdoor fed with biobizz biogrow & fish mix Outdoor temperature has been 38-40 degrees at the hottest It is 3weeks old and few leaves were eaten by snails and slugs Two days ago i have topped with just a handful of different slow released soil as the seedling was falling over This morning the leaves have yellow spots and looking like its dying. Im thinking i was overwatering at first causing droppy leaves and as i topped the new soil the problem is worse. Also with the temperature it was receiving more than 11-12hours straight sunlight and the seedling could be heat stressed
And just so Im not a total ass (which has happened) is that temp C or F, if you say heat stress at 40 im assuming C which means ignore ky first post. If it is celsius 100 is way too hot, you want in the 70-80F area
That medium w the bark and mulch is prob too acidic also. Imo better off reading some of the soil Recipes and scour forums and start over. Good chance those little guys wont recover, especially with those sustained temps.
yes it is celcius , i have tested the ph it is between 6-7 range The temperature has only been like this for 2-3 days and it will drop soon. As i live in a temperate area. Just hope the ones in the ground dont die coz i cant move them into shade ;( More worried about the new different soil i topped up the plants with that caused the yellow spots. Just want to know what is causing the problem
Whats the ph of your soil? A quality ph and ppm meter will be needed if you want to continue to grow herb so might as well snag one now. Bark, milch are acidic, which is what it looks like you added. Between heat and ph im thinking its a no go. Sometimes you need tools to find out whats going on, the more info you know about your plant the better. Dont get ph strips or thoee $8 testers spend a few bucks, it pays for itself the first time you reverse a problem. Good luck
