Help?

uhm hi there riu, for about 3 days i seen the leaves curling and stunted growth. i just checked on it and on of the bottom leaves is starting to yellow and two of the top leaves are starting to get small spots on em, can anyone tell whats wrong ? also no nutes just scotts soil

tough one. it looks kinda dry is it still moist inside? what can you tell us about the soil composition? also what's the water pH? also how old is the plant?

from my view, plant looks fine...but u know ur plant better by now & its changes day to day. r u guaging the ph of ur soil? if u havent used nutes & there r no nutes in the soil, well u know then u should be adding them very soon if not already (again how old is ur plant?) generally the first thing a plant needs is nitrogren, (leaves start to yellow) as they r N hogs during veg growth. u should pic up some basic ferts if u havent already & begin a 1/4 strength feeding every 3rd watering.

i just poured a little water to see if it would help, i stuck my finger in the dirt and it felt kinda dry. i dont know the pH but i do leave the water out a few days before i do use it, the plant is supposed to be on its 3rd week but like i said the leaves have stunted and the soil is scotts premium poting soil and scotts premium garden soil..

i think ill go look for some nutes than, you know any cheap nutes ? i have some vigoro tomato plant food i bought

Just be sure you are watering it enough when you do water the plant.

u can pick up a cheap (less then $10) ph soil meter from lowes, home depot, or the like; knowing ur soil ph is essential to growing & guaging the nutrients in ur soil.

i am not familiar with scott's but i am pretty sure they have some nutrients in them; check the BAG! having said that, most commercial soil needs to be supplemented after the 3rd week. tomatoe plants r the closest to mj as far as nutrient requirements, so while not ideal, that might be fine to use. But, again, make sure to use no more then 1/4 (u might even want to start with 1/8 of the suggested amount it states on the package. And again, only every 3rd watering for now. u will be able to tell the effects, be it positive or negative from the nutes u have given in approximately 3-5 days after u have fed it. Do urself a favor & get a ph guage, & do a little research on how to use it & how the ph of ur soil affects the entire growth & health of ur plant
