Thank you my friend. It is "Majestic Earth" seed starting soil. Looking back at the bag I can't find any nute ratings so I guess there is nothing in there. It also says to fertilize a week after germination on the bag. Maybe I should pay more attention. So, will 1/4 strength do for now?

I know it is normal for lower leafs to yellow and fall off, but every plant I have grown always seems to yellow too early. Maybe a week or two in the cotyledons will yellow and then brown, which is not surprising but the yellowing continues up the plant. By the time the fourth set of leafs...

are you speaking of naturally occurring nutes in the soil because there are no time release nutes or anything in my soil.

Cool. Fresh soil it is, maybe a different brand too. How big of a plant do you think I could get out of this size pot? It is actually a 32oz cup, cut a little shorter than normal. It is in a micro cab (PC case), so I don't need them to grow larger than a foot or so. There are 6 of these cups in...

I guess I should have mentioned my watering habits.. Yes there are lots of holes. I water every 2-3 days, when the soil is away from the sides of the cup. I highly doubt that it is over watering. When I do water it is just enough to have a drop or two come out of the bottom. All of that white...

This has happened to just about all the plants I have tried to grow. There is no ferts, under CFLs, around 88 degrees, PH is 7 going in but 6 coming out so I think this soil may be acidic but then again it is "seed starting" formula so it is should be gentle enough for seedlings. The yellowing...

The tap puts out 7.0 water, but the runoff out of the pots is around 6 or lower. There are no nutes. Since I am shooting for the 6.5 range, should I raise the PH of the 7.0 water to try to get the runoff at 6.5?

It seems that everyone has a different opinion about this so I took some pics to make it more clear. It is only occurring on the top of the plant.

Yea thanks, that does help. I guess as long as mutants still produce just like a normal plant I got nothing to worry about. Its weird that all three did this, none of them are from the same bag.

What exactly does mutant mean? Are they still worth growing?

My friend has three different plants from three different bag seeds. Each has atleast one leaf that has an even number or blades. On has 8, a few others 6, and one with 4. Is it normal? are all three mutants? Could something he is doing to them cause them to do this?

Test the PH first. My aquarium fluctuates a lot. The PH is often too low to use on plants.

Cool man. Thanks. I flushed and the runoff is now reading in the test range. It took a lot of water so it must have been pretty far below 6, but I think I am in range now!

I went and bought a kit, not strips, to test my water. It came with PH up and PH down but it is for aquariums. Is this safe to use in my water? Tap water is right at 7, but the runoff out of the pot is below 6. 6 is as low as it tests so it could be way lower. Should I flush with +7 water to...

20-10-10 on the MG. The test strips I have are from the pet store... Did you find something that has a larger range than 6.0-8.0?

Due to height restrictions I can only grow this plant about 10 inches above the rim of the pot (stealth cab). It is being LSTed... Is this pot large enough to grow a LSTed plant 10 inches?

Side shot, about a month old, LSTed, in Majestic earth seedling soil. No nutes except for 1/4 strength MG I added yesterday. I thought it would make it better but I think it got worse. Under CFLs, about 88 degrees most of the time. 3-4 inches from the light. PH is low, although I dont know how...

I gave it 1/4 strength tonight. Ill see how that goes. It is 1/2 Majestic Earth Seedling soil (moss, vermiculite, gypsum) and 1/2 perlite.

Its definitely not low temps. High temps maybe... All I see on the plant diagnosis page is deficiency that affect older leafs. My problem is in the top leafs... They are also a lighter color than the rest of the plant.

The stems on the top few sets of leafs is red on the underside of the leaf, and in the center of the leafs where the blades come together there is a red dot. Is this a deficiency? Its about a month old and has not been fed yet. Actually, it was fed when it was too young and it was burnt, so I...
