Hi
Attached are two sets of photos of the leave's problems I am experiencing in my new grow batch. These are grapefruit plants in Fox Farm Ocean Forest (FFOF) soil. 10 days ago I noticed the top soil of most plants had yellow/orange perlite, the soil looked yellowish and the pots drainage holes (see pic 2) had a fungus looking yellow/orange specs.
I sprayed the soil and leaves with Neem oil and the soil alone with NoDamp fungicide. Now the soil, and perlite and the holes are clear.
Problem is leaves (usually lower ones) lose green become yellowish, and the tips and tips edges become brown or grey and dies (see photos). The soil is 2 yrs old but not used before only mixed with a bit of perlite and vermiculite.
Is this still fungus? Is fungus deep in the soil too?
Or
Could this be nute burn although I added nothing (no nutes) to the soil yet? I did a mild foliar feed with SuperNatural GreenStay (Nitrogen) and the green in the leaves intensified so I started to suspect nute lock due to lots of organic nutrients in pure FFOF soil. Should I have mixed the FF Ocean Forest down with regular soil or peat moss to dilute its organic nutes for the seedlings?
Or any other suggestions?
Whats wrong with my seedlings. PZ advice.
