nutrient def with newbie grower

Need help with grow. have 2 plants california skunk. both in organic potting mix.
Plants started fine 1 began.to yellow on new leaves. older slowly dying start yellowing on outside. check pH is ok around 7. have been feeding them seasol with power feed. other fine. what could be the prob. any suggestionsbwould b great

Those are the colors of a sick drowning plant. Without a doubt, the plant is receiving and/or retaining too much water. Not sure how or what you're testing the ph of, but make sure your water tests out before applying it...it should be around 6.5.

testing the soil with liquid pH tester from bunnings. i will hold back with water and see what happens

Been trying to Figure out what's going on with my kandy kush. does anyone think this looks as if it is over watering like Brendan 's?

The pH was 5.5 which lead me to think it was iron lockout. so not having lime i crushed some eggshells. and placed a rusty tin on top. the calcium neutralises acid and rust is the iron. the strain is californian skunk. As the photo attests it is doing something. I still have the prob witj older leaves having light patches

Hello, just wondering hows your plants? have you tested pH? it looks similar, overwatering, doesnt take much. and what r u feeding it with?

Hey bobbuck interesting thing, Jackie french says without nitrogen the plant cant use other elements which most times are still available in the soil, b careful as too much can cause sappy leaves and may burn roots. organic method is to feed with some lucerne or pea straw. the prob should rectify itself

Looks like nitro def to me. Bobbuck, yes I think overwatering for you

Heu bobbuck. a few hours after watering tip the plant upside down remove from pot and check roots. soil has a tendency of bcoming hydrophobic you will notice water on edges but not in middle. try soaking whole pot in a bucket of water

Yes. Over water.

Or a drop of dish soap to break water tension.

Thanks for all the input. I was feeding with roots organics nutrients (player pack) my medium is coco, mushroom compost, ewc and perlite. I ended up culling the bitch after a few doses of pure blend pro. there is no way I would have had room for her to flower out. she was bigger than the other strains in trying out and usually doubles in flower. I did cut a few branches to maybe clone, but I have plenty more seeds of her. I think my problem had to do with ph and nutrient lockout. after jumping back to pure blend pro and monitoring ph and ph runoff the other plants are looking better. the GPK was starting to follow the kandy Kush. wish I could find more info on the roots organics nutrients from users, Does not seem to be much on here or other forums.
