maybe it's the frost in the mornings?

maybe it's the natural soil?

maybe i've over watered?

maybe they want some nutes?

:confused: :confused: :confused:

That looks like the same shit I had happen 2yrs ago. Within 5-7 days all were brown and dead. It was plant ebola quick as shit. Are they small enough to re-pot in some clean soil.
I'm just throwing out ideas... Good luck, I'll do my naked get well plant dance
 
i would cut all thoes yellow leaves and get it on a regular feeding did it get cold? did you harden them off? befor you put them out. inside to out can be a great shock for some plants.
 
Have you tried covering them with plastic at night?

now you just sound like my wife. :roll: :mrgreen::mrgreen: :blsmoke: :peace:




looking at things closely i'm starting to lean heavy towards frost bite. i have a few in pots that are starting to show the same signs so i can rule out the soil. they have been fed well also so i can rule out lack of nutes. i just gave everything a good foilar feeding of 16-0-0 just in case. :mrgreen:
 
I'm not a wizard when it comes to naming plant problems but to me the issue on this one does look like its to do with temperature. Plus i don't use any nutes when i grow and i don't see problems but maybe its different if you give them some for a while and then they are deprived. As you said it's probably the frost + cold in the mornings, can't really think of a solution except maybe they're not hardy enough to be outside, might consider another stay in the green house. Hope things start to look up

the weather is changing and the nights are starting to get warm now. hopefully this will only make them stronger.
 
Wow, what's your elevation that you're still getting freezing or close to freezing temps? I'm at about 2,800' in the Sierra, and I've left my seedlings out the past three nights (last week we got frost in the a.m., too cold BRRRR), and growth seems to be coming along alright.

Now, if only I could snag some tulips like one of my neighbor's.

the tulips bloomed weeks ago. i'm at a few hundred feet elevation. i foliar fed and they perked up a little. i may be over watered as well. i'd assume the soil is still really wet a few inches down. i'm going to foliar fed every other night for a few days and not water until they wilt. :mrgreen:
 
Daffodils started their blooming about three weeks ago (Google Daffodil Hill), depending on elevation and amount of sun. The tulips are at a neighbor's home that was foreclosed on, I wish they'd said something, I feel really terrible for them (they just disappeared and then we learned that they lost the house). So, all the bulbs they planted last year are being neglected. The bank hasn't posted any signs or anything, and the property is being rummaged through. I covet the tulips!

With this particular plant all I can do is apply the science and knowledge I have of other plants and growing, but most of my knowledge is with aquatic things. However, some things just seem more logical than others, and it's not called "weed" for nothing. ;)
It helps me to not overwork or over-analyze things now that the weather's gotten so nice, that means that I have almost no excuse not to be out on the road. Otherwise, I'd be Mother Henning it over the poor things (although, it sure is NICE sitting out on the back deck, looking out over the trees and listening to the wind rustle through them, and the birds, and soaking up the sun... mmm, sun).
 
I think it's getting too cold for the plant to absorb nutes. The yellow screams nitrogen deficiency, but I see a lot of phosphorous deficiency in there too. Frost will do that.

that actually is the best way to water.. it makes the roots search for water as it dries up.:blsmoke:
