14 seeds of papaya sprouted; the SAGE, the Burmese Kush, and the Kushage sprouted. The Kushage was slowest to sprout. Moving all but the two smallest seedlings to 1G containers today.
History:
Growing Papaya.
Plants are 4 weeks old.
Under 400 watt light (6-12 inches from light)
Soil is FFOF
Water is typically every 4 days... 500 to 900 ml
Problem
Droopy leaves on several plants.
Any idea? pics attached...
thanks for the help sputniknz:
the water I use is at 72 degrees...
I am pretty sure it is a nute burn from FFOF... it's just too much for the seedling...
Were they yellowing before you transplanted?
No they weren't...
What is the watering schedule?
I water once a day with RO water.
Do you know the PPM and pH of your water?
I don't know the PPM or pH of the water
I think it's nute burn... (from the soil and too much water)
History:
Growing Papaya.
Plants are 8 days old (sowed 17-March-2011).
transplanted them into larger pots 3 days ago from jiffy pellets (22-March-2011)
Under 360 watts hid 1.5 ft above them
Soil is FFOF
Problem:
One seedling is showing yellowing on leaves...
fed with liquid budswel today. 3 tablespoons to 3.3 gals of water. Didn't mix with any ferts -- wasn't sure if I was supposed to.
Flowering is evident all over plants. Just trying to keep the ladies alive as their problems persist.
watered with full strength GIG and little more than half strength FP. Yellowing on lower fan leaves seems to have slowed down. Rust spots are now a major problem and two plants are now yellowing on top.
simplyBaked: I really screwed them up the last week or so when they turned yellow. I had to cut many large fan leaves off the plant. I'm a little nervous being in flowering now...
also they have very little scent thus far.
Someone correct me if I am wrong, but overwatering typically occurs from giving too much water over a short period of time -- e.g., watering everyday, rather than giving them too much at once. Assuming you have well draining soil.
Any idea? From my memory, I believe the spots started showing a couple days after I gave some nutes... then I layed off the nutes and my bottom fan leaves turned yellow...
Watered yesterday with plain water. Today I noticed significant yellowing on the plants, so I re-watered today with some cal-mag and GIG... will update with pics, soon.
