Help what’s wrong with my plant

[Tim1987]

The trend being the branch pretty much I don't see it get worst after any of that really. Just wake up and see its like that.

Sorry if ive already asked some of this.

Volume of your pot?
Volume you water each watering?
How many times in a week are you watering?
How much runoff have you been getting each watering?
How long does the pot take to drain?
How long does it take to dry?
Any bottled nutrients? When was the last time you fertilized if you did? Whats the recommended full dose, and how close did you get to it?
Npk%?

RIP. I can't use this PH kit stuff on soil?

It's water specific.
You need something like these.
The kit is more accurate than the stake.

I can't just change the ph of the water then water it? i'll answer those questions in a min

 

[Master_Tabi]

Phosphorus def, I can tell by the red stem. I add it be making a banana peel tea.

Nah.
It does bugger all, to the actual ph of the soil.

Ill upload a chart, to give you a good idea of whats going on.

Your watering practice should give a good indication whether its lockout. Or overfed.

What you mean

you need to add stuff to change soil pH, water pH just runs off.

 

[Rav3n69]

Nah.

Alright. I'm gonna goto some shop tomorrow I am gonna try to find something like that

 

[Master_Tabi]

What you mean

Take a picture of the stems the main steam and the ones attaching the stems to leaves, they are red. Hence Phosphorus def

 

[Rav3n69]

Yeah all the branches towards the bottom and the main stem at the bottom is red but towards the top is green how do I fix?

 

[Master_Tabi]

well could be like the others are saying pH problems, that would lock out the need Phosphorus or maybe you just don't have it in the soil. Got to run a soil pH of no more than 7.5 and that's high ideal soil pH is like 6.5 or 6.2 somewhere along there.

 

[Tim1987]

If you have a look at this chart.
See how you could have all the fertilizer in the world. But if your ph is too low. Things like phosphorus and calcium, aren't available to your plant.
This is why information is so important. Because all we have aat the end of the day is a guess.

 

[Rav3n69]

Yup 100% the Phosphorus def. all the effects the red stem. curling. darkening and lower ones turning yellow. When should I start feeding it nutrients it never has had any yet. I've got dynagrow grow, and dynagrow bloom

 

[Tim1987]

See?
Anywhere below ph6, really isn't good in the long term.

We can make an educated guess by your watering schedule, and plant trends.
But knowing the ph tomorrow, will help 10 times as much.

Well if you like now.

Just know that if your ph is out of whack, it's going to fry the plant. Faster than you can say fried chicken.
It's really up to you.

If it was me in your shoes. I'd personally wait until tomorrow.

Yeah, no I am gonna wait. I am just wondering when I should start lmao. How much is the kit basically gonna cost?

Good idea.

It won't be more than $10 or so. They're cheap.
I pay about $15 Australian.

Basically if your ph checks out tomorrow. We're gonna hit it, with its first feed.

Alright

 

[Tim1987]

So far, so good really.
Best outcome more likely.
Lots of time for the plant to catch back up too.
