Am I overwatering?

Hi guys,

I have three lowryders on the go, they have been pretty healthy until I noticed one of the plants has yellow on the bottom leaves. For the first 3 weeks I was watering every day, not drowning mind you but I have since read the this can cause yellowing of the bottom leaves. Could someone have a look and advise?

Thanks a mil!

I can't advise from the pictures as i've never read up or experienced it myself (that i recall or caught onto haha) but the best way to water is wait for the medium to be nearly almost dry, and gauge it's weight, then water, now don't water again until the pot has that "dry" weight :) Sounds vague at first but a few waterings and you'll rapidly pick up on when they need watering :)

Other than those 2 leaves though, she looks nice and healthy :)

Cool,

I can see what your saying alright, thanks for the info, I assumed it was heat stroke but I have fixed the heat issues and also would imagine that would show on the other leaves! I'm hoping it is just water!

Your plant is getting hungry. When the older lower leaves turn chlorotic the plant needs some more nitrogen. If you haven't started feeding yet, it's time to start now.

This is week 4, I have terra grow/bloom I have used the grow last week but used under the recommended amount (about 75%) because they where dwarfs, You guys reckon lash away with terra bloom?

Ok so I have watered with the new solution, one thing I notice is that the other two drink the water up but the one with the yellow leaves doesnt. They are due to be put in bigger pots shortly, maybe that will help out a bit!
