Yellow Spots On My Leaves

Hello Harmony : )

AT first glance , it does not look like speder mites..

Are you feeding your plant and ph-ing your water?

It does look a little pale. Since its outside does it dry out every day? How often do you water?

No I just put tap water.. It has some slow feeding plant food in the soil, you know the little balls. Its only 4 weeks old and has been growing like a champ, even with those spots, they have been on there for about a week and half.

It never looks dry and I water when I notice the soil is dry, I stick my finger in the soil if its dry I water...

But now I am concerned because all the new leaves are coming out with yellow spots...

it looks hungry to me...

: )
thanks for the pictures!!!

Thanks. OK I will feed it... What shall I feed it???


Thanks

A product like this will work fine.. Make sure you dilute it 2-4 times more than the recommended dosage. You want a HIGH nitrogen fertilizer.

Make sure your water has a PH of 6.5-7.0 or else your plants will not be able to absorb the NUTRIENTS..

and NOW you KNOWM

Hi Harmony,

Potroast seems to think that the plant is to far into its flowering cycle to need a fertilizer that is so heavy in Nitrogen.. and he thinks that the slow release fertilizer in the soil MAY be enough for your plant...

His points are valid... yet... i stick with my current prescription.. LIGHT GREEN colored leaves are a sign of NITROGEN deficiency..

I also can not emphasize enough, the IMPORTANCE of diluting your fertilizer 2-4 times more than the boxes reccomendation.


And slow release fertilizer works for abut 2-3 months depending on the PLANT....

and finally.. if you PH your water to 6.5-7.0 things will reveal themselves and adjustments will be easy to make...

and NOW you KNOWM

I thought you weren't supposed to go inside and outside, aren't you supposed to stick to one so your plant is comfortable and doesnt get shocked?
