plants dont look good....(pics)

[progrockboy]

Well the plants are 12 days old now, and the leaves are badly yellowing on most of the plants, and on one the leaves are curled from the sides in. I have eight plants in total.

They are in soil and are not getting nutes yet. They get watered every second day.

I have just re-potted them today from the small cups they where in, into 2.2 gallon pots (thinking this might be part of the problem)

Temp/ 80on, 75off. And there white widow's.
I have looked through the site but Im still not sure what exactly the problem is, so can anyone help??

i dont think the small fots are the prob. what is the water ph? and what type of soil and lights?

 

[Erysichthon]

id guess its either nute burn from nutes in the soil, maybe when you replanted they got a bit too much water and it released a bit much (likely with MG soil). or maybe its nute lockout from too low or too high ph. get some info on soil and water and lights couldnt hurt as well.

They are in plagron light mix soil, and the water ph is 6.5. Im using a 250w hps (I know this isnt ideal, but most people say it will do).

In case I wasnt clear, the yellowing started before I repotted them.

Its not the 250 watt light unless you have it to close. I've germinated under a 600 HPS before. My first thought was ... to hot of a soil mix for the youngsters.

if the soil mix is too hot, would it not have affected the plants from the beginning? Because this only began about 2 days ago. Until then they looked great

 

[progrockboy]

just read another post about lack of magnesium, and using epsom salts. Could this be anything to do with it? Or is there any other information I could give that would help provide a diagnosis and hopefully cure?????

What is the ph of your soil i saw your water is 6.5 but what is the soils ph

the mg and salt def i dont think that is it

 

[progrockboy]

dont know what the ph of the soil is. I only have a water test kit.

you can dig down half way into soil take a scoop and put it in water(nutral ph water ) then rinse around and strain then test.

to strain i would think you could use a coffee filter yeah bonz

 

[progrockboy]

sweet, and how do I adjust the soil ph if it isn't right??

 

[TMB77]

Just flush with 3x volume of pot, using water with the PH you want the soil to be, that should do it. if not, try 6x volume of pot.

 

[ThatGuy1985]

There are other ways too. I don't know the exact way for soil because i grow hydro. But if you go to the garden or home improvement store and ask the person in the department with the fertilizer how you can lower the ph of your soil in your garden and yes all you have to say is garden they will think flower garden. They will point you in the right direction the GROWFAQ should also have it there

Maybe the plants went into shock during transplant?

 

[bonz]

you can adjust your ph levels with ph up or ph down solution i have a 1 gallon of each and it cost me 10 bucks each and you only need a few drops to adjust it. i strain with womens nylons. also use them to strain my nute/water mix before i feed so there are no chunks in it to cause hot spots. yes it may all be just shock from transplanting and will come around.

 

[progrockboy]

I checked the ph of the soil and it is fine. And as for transplanting shock, the yellow leaves started before I transplanted. Another problem is that so many of the problems that can occour involve yellowing of leaves!!

 

[bonz]

thats why if the problem is a hard call i just do a flush. then start with a clean slate.
