First time growing: Yellow & Dying.

[mattcjr]

I've been through Google and forums and I really suspect that my plant is suffering from lack of Nitrogen But I cannot really confirm if that is true.

She is 30+ day old, still in veg stage and is under CFLs. Only the big fan leaves are yellowing and dying. The rest of the plant is growing strong.

I really need some feedback and/or tips on what might be the issue here and how can I help her get better and green again.

Peace. J

U are correct it is a Nitrogen Def.

Get some liquid kelp and fish fert @ Home Depot and do a lil foliar feed. You can also add to soil it wont burn. Fish fert is @ 5-1-1 Kelp is like 0.13-0-0.60 on the NPK. Hope this helps.

It looks like all around deficiency. Nitrogen, and a slight potassium def. Time to get a good 3-part and give it some fertilizer. When in doubt, go with GH Flora.

I stay organic to avoid issues and chems.

what type of soil? and are you feeding tap water or filtered and have you been phing the water?

 

[mattcjr]

I'm using filtered water with a PH 7.0

I have not fed my girl until yesterday, I have been using compost soil that I've got from a supermarket.

I did add a layer of fresh compose soil and gave her a little feeding yesterday. As to what the fertilizer contains I'm not very sure. It's not stated on the bottle. Just hoping it works. Gonna keep an eye out.

Another thing is how will I know if the plant is no longer lacking in nutrients and is all healthy again.

One more thing, is it alright to feed every time I water with light nutes. Or Should I alternate feeding and just water?

I will feed her Or water her once I feel that the pot feels light.

That old supermarket soil is causing this, not a major issue, increase the feed by 20%. Next time use a quality coco mix fed with quality hydro nutes and they will be green from top to bottom , start to finish.

Yes feed with hydro nutes every watering at full strength even with soil as directed on the label.

I'll post some pictures after a few days.

Thank you guys.

Feed every other day bro. Give 1/8 strength nutes and increase slowly you should be fine in a week.

New medium would be wise, ALWAYS ph before feeding to your plants. I wouldnt suggest using any fertilizer that doesnt state what is in the bottle.

I would really like to get my hands on some fertilizer that clearly states the actual amount. Unless I order them online. Which sometimes can be a pain.

I'll try looking for some.

Peace.

I think she looks alot better today

But those leaves that are yellow are still yellow. I'm not sure of they will bounce back to it's green.

Good thing this the rest of the plant looks better.

Your good to go now bro. Those leaves that are brown don't bother they'll fall off on there own.

water at 6.0

thanks bro for being here, i was just thinking the same thing if the leaves are dead or dying should i pluck them out.
but then i've read it somewhere where the plants will use up all the energy from those leaves to help the other parts of the plants to grow.

 

[mattcjr]

water at 6.0

should i like drop the PH a little before watering by adding some lime/lemon juice?
cause im using filtered water that will not have any change in PH if untreated.

imma give it a shot next time i water my plants again.

Without a PH meter, you're just stabbing in the dark.
