noticed some very slight yellowing of some of the bottom leaves on saturday night... left for vacation and returned tonight to find my plants in the condition you see in the pics below. i really thought i wasn't overwatering, but who knows... might have more to do with miracle grow.
here are the grow conditions:
indoor, basement grow in soil (miracle grow)
400w mh 18/6 (bulb 10 in. from top of tallest plant)
85-87 avg deg f (daytime)
60-70% avg humidity (daytime)
water 2 or 3 days (from the tap, sits out in containers at least 24 hrs to stabilize)... just tested it for the first time with a pool test kit, and unless i've misread the results, there's no chlorine, but the ph is VERY acidic! like 8+
tallest plant 4.5 in
about 18-19 days since planting seedlings
is it overwatering? i let the soil dry to the point that it pulls away from the sides of the containers before i rewater. i realize that everytime i water, it releases the nutes within miracle grow and feeds the plant... which could be causing nute-burn...
i have b'cuzz cocosubstrate and ew castings and ff grow big, just have to repot, i was thinkin tomorrow. should i try to gently shake as much mg from the root balls when i repot?
sorry if this is the same ol shit... i checked out the grow faq and also searched posts with keywords, but it's hard not to second guess oneself as a newbie. thanks in advance for any help.
