What's going on with these plants?

The testing kit isn't a strip, it has a vial to fill with the water you want to test and a dropper that you add 2 drops. Then compare color the water turns with a spectrum on a card. Are they pretty much the same thing, as far as accuracy?


Yes it is organic soil. Fortunately the temps have cooled off, though the yellow color in the leaves has lingered despite the better temperature. I fear it may be permanent damage. I am hoping it will go away if I withhold nutes for a little while and only give it half strength.

The new growth is what you need to be watching...the older growth is what it is...
If they are in fact hungry...I would suggest a transplant

Yes they are as accurate as the strips invest in a meter they are worth every cent

Okay that doesn't sound so bad. The new growth seems to look good. Here are some more photos from today.

Those leaves are an awful dark green to assume a nitro deficiency, to me anyways....

Dark green means plenty nitro if I'm not mistaken... correct me if I'm wrong..

Yes guys, the new growth has a much better color than the leaves that were yellowing, also I'm going to give them just half strength of the nutrients and see how they look. Kinda playing this by ear, I appreciate all the advice!

I looked up some meters, they are out of my budget for now, unfortunately :( Does anyone know how pool pH meters work? Because a pool pH meter is cheaper, but does it work the same as a genuine horticultural pH meter?

Edit: I am very unsure if/when I am supposed to do the "topping"/FIMming, does anyone have any advice about that?

They really are dark...is that lights on temp I hope?
How long have they been in those pots? You said your in organic soil...did you add lime?
Yes, that is lights on temp. They have been in the pots for 5 weeks. No, did not add lime. For watering it is just a bit every 4-5 days.

Hi everybody, I hope all is well. I've run into another problem. After watering both plants (diluted 0.5 mL of nutes in 1.5 L of water and gave each plant 1 liter, to size of pots) about 4 days ago. The next day both plants looked perky. 2 days after watering, one of the plants looked very wilted. The other plant looked fine. Now it is 4 days later, you can see in the two photos of the wilted plant that it still looks awful, the other plant isn't wilting but I am still concerned about the bit of yellowing on the leaves in pic 3.

I have tried holding back on nutes, I only water every 4-5 days, and the temp has been fine. I am so confused as to why this is happening :(

I wait until the soil is dry. I use thin wooden stick (like for making kebab I guess? It is uncoated wood) deep into the soil, near the edge of the pot to avoid hurting any roots, to see if the soil is wet further down. I don't do any watering until it has dried. The wilted plant was a little wilted before watering, the day after they were watered the wilted plant looked good again, then the third day after watering it was once again wilted, a little worse than the day before watering.
