Hi everyone, Please see some photos of my 3 dutch passion strawberry cough plants. They have been doing okay but things don’t seam 100% right due to the way the leaves are curling and the paleness of the leaves. Also the growrate doesn’t seam as fast as what it should be, I mean I know they are only 11 days old but something isn’t right and I cannot put my finger on what it is. I thought it was overwatering, but then I thought it wasn’t enough nutrients, then I thought it may be to much because I wasn’t sure if the compost I used already had nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium? I am trying to keep the temperature up as high as possible but this is in my friends basement so it can get pretty cold down there but generally the temperature is 16-20c. I haven’t fed them anything yet but im wondering if this is what they are after??! Below are the details of my setup Lights: Sunmaster 250W Dual Spectrium sodium Cycle: 24/7 Soil: Levington Multi Purpose Compost PH: 6.3 Medium: Soil with 700ml pots, 10 drainage holes. Ferts: None so far Temp: 16c or 61f Ventilation: 1 internal fan and 1 external fan with carbon on external Humidity: 40-50% Watering: Every 3-4 days Age: 11 Days since sprouted through soil Age Since Germ: 16 Days Any help please… Oh and some photos…
good choice with strawberry cough! Not sure why they look a little funny, might not have many roots developed yet or something.
temps are too low id get them up to atleast 70 could be too many nutes in the soil also . looks like a little nute burn on pic 1 dont know much about soil tho. how far is the light off them?
Temps are low, as is pH. Aim for around 70F and 6.5 pH. Something is definitely wrong though, I'll agree with you there. My plant looked like at around 8 days.
I have got the temp up, by stopping the extractor fan, but i think it is to do with the soil, i looked on the outside of the packet, and it shows nutrient rich with NPK, so i guess the soil is over ferting them, i might chuck them and start again
