Are my Rhino's gonna be extinct??

Hi all,New to this site,and the whole growing thing.....got a couple of little White Rhino's that don't seem to be doing too well,they both have different problems,
Now i'll start from the beginning so hopefully it will help with your answers,i have bought a grow tent and i have 3 plants in total,all planted in the same stuff,miracle grow compost!!,the first plant is a cheese plant which is the oldest,this plant seems absolutley fine to me!!......the other 2 plants are both white rhino and are about a week younger,
now one plant has started yellowing at the bottom?
The other which is the smallest has got brown spots on the leaves,and some have gone crispy?
What is causing my problems? and why arn't the rhinos doing as well as the cheese plant,as they are much smaller and taking longer to grow!! plants are just over 2 weeks old





And finally the cheese.....which seems to be thriving in the same conditions??

Miracle grow is terrible soil. It has time released nitrogen pellets in it, and even the organic MG is shit. At two weeks old they shouldn't of had have any Nutes but that MG is giving it too them. They are over feed and burning. MY suggestion is to get some Roots organic, Fox Farm soils, or Pro mix, there are quite a few but these are the Big Brands. I'm gonna be going with roots organic next summer, I used HAPPY Frog and worked great from seed to finish.

The MG compost is terrible for starting plants, as it does not have ideal contents & ratios. If I was going to go with MG soil, I would HIGHLY recommend buying their Organic Potting Soil. This will contain other things such as peat & perlite that help create a great medium, whereas compost prob doesn't have either of those in it. I would considering getting some new soil, if you wanna pay a lil extra for happy frog or foxfarm soil you won't regret it, and then transplant your babies into this new soil.

Be sure not to feed for another week or so, as your girls require very little at this current stage. You're most likely experiencing nute burn on the one that is seriously yellowing. Only water & time will cure.

Good luck! White Rhino is an amazing strain!

Yeah, I made the same mistake and started mine in MG soil, they had the same disabilities that yours are showing. Third pic looks like it may be an overwatering droop? Within a few days of having my plants in organic soil they rebounded pretty well.

thanks for your input,how is it best to go about transplanting without causing too much stress?

Transplanting is easy...
first, prepare the new medium and use your hands to make a creator in the soil of the new pot.

second, give the plants to be transplanted a decent ( not too little, not too much ) watering.

third, take a CLEAN (ie: sterile ) blade and cut around the inside of the current pot, to lossen any roots attached to the walls

fourth, GENTLY hold the stem of the plant near the soil as you turn up side down and "spank" the bottom of the pot untill the plant slides out...roots and all. Your going to want to break up he root ball slightly, but making sure to leave most of it in tact

fifth, GENTLY and QUICKLY place plant into new medium, fill in space around plant with soil

sixth, give a nice watering, and hope the ladies enjoy their new home!

Ok.....transplanted this morning,so its fingers crossed time,i have also noticed yellow on the tips of my big plant,will this also be the same problem?? it is only on the very tips

Ok people......trying to rescue my little rhino's,but now have yellowing on my big cheese plant,can you please please tell me what is causing this??? this plant is still in the MG soil as i didn't want to change it

someone had posted this on a thread of mine the other day, i suggest you do as i did, and save it for future reference:

also.... I %100 agree with the other posters... they NEED TO GET OUT OF THE MG SOIL. Get some fox farms, if you cant afford that, even a generic potting soil with ZERO nutes, ammended with Perlite would do just fine

sorry to keep posting, but things keep popping in my head after I hit post lol..

I will tell you with utmost certainty that those plants will no do very well in that soil. It looks like its way too dense and the roots will probably rot if no Perlite is added at the very least.

I assume you're already noticing slow if any new growth, along with the yellowing tips... its the soil (and possibly N issues caused from the soil)

sorry to be a broken record, but the soil has to go, or you have to amend it.

All looking much better people,thanks for the advice
