I am embarrassed to tell you all, but I figured out what was wrong with my plants…..

Saturday I checked on them and they were looking worse. One of the ones with yellow leafs started getting crispy so I figured that It couldn’t be overwatering. I decided to transplant it. Here’s where it gets funny. When I originally planted them I put aluminum foil at the bottom of the pot to keep the dirt from coming out. Well, apparently roots don’t like aluminum foil. So I transplanted them all….

Now they are looking good, except for the yellow leafs.

OK let me have it…..

Atad small to be fertilizing now, and they are right about the water. Plants can live in extremely dry conditions. Instead of the top 2 inches of soil being dry when watering try about 1/3rd of the way down your bucket or whatever u plant in. Then when u do water soak well.

Soft white and gay light???? what kind of lights are u using u should use blue spectrum bulbs or even 2 red and 2 blue . I have a T5 4ft florescent Fixture with 4 blue spectrum grow lights its a great light and it does not get hot at all. well a little bit. I realy wana throw in some LED lights in there never tried them they sound good do

Daylight is a 6500K blueish spectrum and a soft white is a 2700K redish spectrum, t8 and t12 works good as well

maybe if he was growing hydro, 6.2 to 7.0 is perfect for soil.
