ok, go to thread tools, subscribe to thread , then you dont lose your threads ,
also leaves are low down , were they cuttings or seedlings ?? my cuttings sometimes show this with older leaves , im not saying thats your issue deffo , but just my thought...

What kind of compost did you come up with. I'm no doctor but it looks like your plants could be getting a little to much nitrogen

mark1sh · Jan 26, 2011

these plants were started from seed.. compost was just a bag i got for seedling.. if it is to much nitrogen how do i fix this.. thought this was going to be like growin house plants but these thing are fussy little gits lol

i'm more mentioning this so someone will clarify, kinda aimed at gopherbuddah, but i've always taken yellowing leaves to be a sign of too little nitrogen?

get plain water ph 6.2-6.5 and flush the hell out of em ;-)

I'd say you've got some nutrient burn, not a serious one frome those pictures though. Pure compost is too rich for a potting soil. repot with a mix of 50 % perlite and water heavily every watering to flush your soil.

thanks everyone for quick replys will give some of them ago.. and get me a ph tester.. also how do i sort out my nitrogen problem if that could be it

gopherbuddah · Jan 27, 2011

Just flush your plant real good, then just go with water for a couple times before adding nutes again.

flushing would be giving it 3x as much water as there is soil

water water feed and so on

help plz
