    Default What is wrong with my babies, first grow :(? pictures

    Alright so probably about 3-4 days ago, some lower leaves were turning yellowish, and now have some brown spots on them. I just got my PH meter today so i checked my water ph and its 7.8-8 =\, I also just prepped my transplanting pots, and ran some water through one of the pots and got a ph the same thing from the run off.


    They are in jiffy pots with half soil and half vermiculite right now by the way!


    I have not fed nutes at all except for today, which was 2/3.5 strength of shultz house plant general fert.




    MY PLAN OF ACTION: I filled a pale with 2 gallons of water, added 1 teaspoon of GH micro and GH gro. It says 1 teaspoon/gallon, and since it goes across mild vegatative at 1tsg/g for all 3 parts (flor, gro, micro) Im assuming I did only 1/2 strength nutes.


    I also PH'd that to 5.5 with my meter and vinager.


    Once transplanted into 3gallon pots, I want to feed 500ml per pot of nute water.


    How does this all sound? Any help is really appreciated guys

    if your ph was at 7.8 - 8.0, then you might shock them with the adjusted ph of 5.5. I would gradually lower the ph over a few weeks to avoid problems.

    If I had to say what I think it is from some of the things that have happen to me, I would say that you might be using your nutrients too soon and it could be a ph problem because the jiffy pots might be retaining to much of the nutrients. What I would do is flush with 5.0 ph balanced water with no nutrients for about two weeks, cut off the dead and/or dying leafs and see if that will help, at least that’s what I did to my plants and everything turned around. I hope this helps but again this is just my opinion.

    Also you may want to switch to a soilless mix like "Roots Organic" coco fiber mix.

    Try using 1/2 strength of nutrients for about a week and then gradually increase the nutrients.

    Use only purified water for the first 4 nodes and kinda work the baby into some light nutes. The soil could be burning them so just flush it and let the soil dry out, but not alot, you don't want to over dry them.
