Hey all,
This is my first grow, first plant, which came from a bag seed. So basically I'm pretty sure I was overwatering her a bit (dealing with bugs, environment) and depriving her of nutrients (honestly didn't know these were needed). Starting about 2 weeks ago I cut my watering down to about once a week-first week leeched with water-second week I watered with an 18-18-21 tomato plant food (1 tbs/gal). By the time I started the weekly water in I was developing yellow leaves quickly at the bottom and moving upwards, which I read was a clear sign of overwatering.
Is the "claw" leaves also a sign of overwatering or is it nutrient deficiency?
The yellowing of the leaves has slowed, but not stopped completely. Am I still seeing the yellowing from the damage that was done previously or am I still causing damage in some way?
Someone had mentioned that a 1-3-2 mix is better, I also have a 2-2-2 organic all purpose bloom mix, would this be better than the 18-18-21? I've also started noticing that the tips of some of my newer growth are getting brown spots on the edges is this related to my watering issue? Should I remove the dead leave from the bottom of the plant? Is there anyway to tell from the last pic how far into flowering she's in?
If any background info is needed: container is 12" x 12" plant is appx 16" germinated/planted outside late May-for most of her life was only giving distilled water.
Any and all info/opinions are appreciated
