leaf turning yellow

[ibsippin]

So can anyone tell me why that bottom leaf is turning yellow? Is it lack of light?? I have a T5 coming in Monday, 2 ft by 4 bulbs think that'll be enough?

It is hungry

Could be. What media\brand of soil do you have there? Looks like it might be a tad dry... I know that if I let my plants go too long without watering, they'll generally show what appears to be a deficiency (or crinkled leaves in very dry weather) before they actually start to wilt.

What do you suggest I feed it? At the moment I have this liquid all purpose plant food by miracle grow.

I'm using nature care organic garden soil... I think it's miracle grow as well

How often and how much are you watering?

I usually use a spray bottle about every 2 hr or so. I just water until the soIL looks moist

 

[RM3]

Please pour a pint of water into that pot

I'm not a hater, and I love helpin new growers, but you really should read up a bit more

Ok, I figured it was time to step it up with the water. The spray bottle is about a pint, I just added it... should I leave the water that spills out from the bottle or toss it?

Not sure I understand what you mean by spills out ?

The water that drains out from the bottom of the pot... I have this tray that is supposed to catch that water so the plant continues to feed off it. But idk if that'll throw off my watering schedule, should I just toss it out? Adding one pint of water seems to hold it off for a few hours. Haven't watered it since you told me to add the pint.

I would toss the run off and at the size in the pic I would give it a pint once a week, when it gets to 4 or 5 nodes I would start feeding it nutes mixed 1/4 the recommendation on the bottle/bag.

I was reading some forums and I saw something similar to what I'm experiencing. They mentioned something about a copper deficiency? Can you guys shine some light on that?
