Need Help-Yellow, Droopy Leaves

Vegged indoors for a bit over a month, put it outside last week. Leaves are being drained of colour and are drooping. I think its a nute def, not sure what kind though. I currently have 10-4-3 (was giving this to the plant when vegged indoors) and 15-30-15 plant food , was wondering what one I should use to fix the problem. Thanks in advance for any help.

WHat kind of plant food is it? Most of that is shock from being transplanted and the other from not having enough nutes in the ground. Did you prepare the ground before transplant?

It's Daniels 10-4-3, I did prepare the ground before transplant, although I did not add any nutes to the soil.
I ended up watering the plant with a mixture of the plant food and water, hopefully this fixes the droopiness and discoloration.

Will update on next visit.

MIx up some nute 1/8 teaspoon per quart and spray that everyday it will recover faster.

indoor plants don't like to be moved out that's for sure. they seem badly overwatered, most of all.

are you sure they need food spark? i'd think they need to get more healthy before adding such strong ferts.

or at least, use it very gently.

holy yellowing batman...

Some of them leaves look like they are yellowing from the stem petiole outwards rather than the leaf tips inwards! Is that a deficient sign for somthing, iron or somthing, i can't remember which one. Yer this could be caused by a number of things etc etc but i just wanted to point this out without saying what the problem is. \thanks

Its really hard to overwater outside and the soil did not look soaked but it might be ( is it fronzing?) and if there was no ferts then yes a starting regume of nute would be in order but of course in moderation. Its plant shock along with needing some food unless he tells us he has been running a hose next to it over night everyday since he transplanted it.

I have watered it twice since its been outside in the last week, both with just under a gallon. Today was the first time feeding it, and I 'm not to sure if the soil underneath is holding the water a bit to well but if its not looking any better I will transplant it back into a container above ground (just a larger one) the next time I visit.

No dude dont fuck with it anymore just let it works its way though this. You might want to think about topping it but we can talk about that if you want.

Looking better, still a bit yellowish/white. Should I give more nutes next feeding? If its looking fine next time, I wont worry about it.

Yes but don't add too much too quick, cultivate the soil all round the base of the plant too. If ferts showed some good results carry on with it.

They look way better, was it zinc you were thinking of king?

Yer i thinks so it was zinc, i have since looked at my grow books and realised this, some deficiencies look very characteristic, nitrogen is easy to spot as well. Doubt he had a zinc deficiency, probably due to nute lockout but if you did think your soil was deficient in zinc a soil analysis test would be worth its weight in gold at this point! Thanks

The first looks like Zn then the second like Sulfur ... What's certain is that he has too low pH in that soil

A sulfur deficiency will display yellowing of leaves, starting with the oldest leaves and may look like a nitrogen deficiency at first. The parts that are underneath the leaves may take on a distinctive pinkish red or orange color. The buds on a flowering plant may start dying off. Unlike other deficiencies that cause chlorosis, a sulfur deficiency will start at the back of the leaf and move it's way forward as opposed to started at the tips. Leaves become stiff and brittle and will eventually fall off.

I'm lucky if my plant deficiencies present themselves so clearly!

Sorry for not posting in awhile, was busy with other personal business and thank you for all the feedback/knowledge
Anyways, things were looking good for the beginning of June, I brought another outside and this time let it get used to the outdoors before sticking it into the ground.
For future reference ill be referring to my taller plant as sativa1 ( I'm pretty sure its sativa, anyone thinks different just say so) and the new plant as indica1 (shorter bushy type with smaller leaves).
Heres a picture of indica1 from 12/06/11, at this point its been outside in the pot for a week or abit longer and im about to plant it into the ground (not looking to good, undeveloped leaves) .


Now its planted into the ground but Ive been having insect problems and some of the leaves are growing undeveloped still.


It looks wet because it rained yesterday and i sprayed a small amount of insect repellent around the area and on leaves as the bottle instructed.

Well I might just have to be patient with this one, but it feels like I could be doing more to help it grow up healthy and green. I have to run for the time being, but I plan on posting more about the sativa1 because thats were the main problem is (red/black spots on leaves and some leaf ends...very weird). Sorry I cant get into more detail right now, but thanks to anyone that reads over this and has advice.

Heres a pic of sativa1 for any quick advice while Im out, sorry for not explaining anymore but i just dont have the time right now. Ill be posting more later. Thanks!

5 days ago (15/06/11) I first noticed the problem with sativa1


Today I visited and I noticed it has gotten worse, my guess is that its hungry for more Daniels 10-4-3. I plan on visiting tomorrow also to see if any changes happen. It rained yesterday so my guess was that it would flush out the ground and maybe it would get better. If its looking bad tomorrow I plan on feeding her and hopefully that will fix it.
