Need help

[Sharon Peters]

Any idea why my plants are looking like this? I'm using Ocean Forest soil only so far.

Looks like it’s time to either pot up or start feeding, they just look hungry to me.

Edit: It wouldn’t hurt to throw some cal mag or just epsom in with the feed, looks like a possible mag def starting.

They look like they're starving, are you feeding them yet? What kind of nutrients, light strength, temp, and watering habits are you using? We need all the info you can give on a help type thread.

Planted in 3 gallon fabric pots with Ocean Forest, a little perlite and diatomaceous earth a 2 or 3 weeks ago. Temps are staying in mid 70's. Light is on a 7, but can go up to a 10. Humidity is all over the place. Seems like too high or too low, still trying to figure that out. I've had 2 successful outdoor grows, but this indoor business is a whole new ballgame.

Ocean Forrest is a fairly hot soil so I'd say feeding shouldn't be the big issue. You're going to want to start feeding about a month after planting in pots that size. Are you watering often and how much are you giving them? The pale green color might be from being overwatered as well.
Edit: what kinda of light and how many true watts is it?

Maybe watering habits. ffof should last longer than 3 weeks

Look like the soil is spent. Time to feed or up pot with more soil

Idk about that as a blanket statement. That comes down to each individual plants uptake. It can absolutely be spent in 3 weeks

Maybe.. Seems quick to me.
Unless you were going from 2 to 3 gallon pots

,Let's try to get the resident Ocean Forrest guy to chime in @Budzbuddha what do you think? I really trust him with these type of things and Ocean Forrest. He has a lot of experience with it.

Ffof shouldnt be spent that soon.. month and ahalf normally is when i would start using nutes on it.. unless its recycled
Edit: my experience is in five gallon pots..

Seems fast to grow new roots and consume all available nutrients

I do see what you're saying.. it is possible

 

[farmerfischer]

How much perlite? 50/50 mix? If so i could see it being depleated abit..

Looks hungry. How are you watering them?

 

[Sharon Peters]

I'm watering until I get runoff, then wait till they are dry. I'm always scared I'm going to under/over water them.

1 part perlite to 4 parts soil

Well if you've been flushing out all the good nutrients than you need to add more. You shouldn't have been watering till runoff.

 

[Sharon Peters]

I have 5 gallon pots I can use if needed. I just don't want to screw these up.

I water very slowly till I get the least little bit of runoff. I thought that was how you were supposed to do it. And let dry out until you water again.
