Going great, then a nose dive...

cirE · Dec 22, 2020

Long story short, I used the wrong soil with these autoflowers (used the soil from my wife's garden tote), but by the time I realized it I didnt want to transplant. Everything was going great until about day 35ish and yellowing started appearing. Im on around day 50ish and I can't figure it out. Im giving water only, so cant be nute burn. Ph is 6.5 every watering. I let it dry out too long and it was under Watered, then resumed normal watering but they are just constantly wilting... Leaves are not heavy like over watered. All in 3.5 gallon pots and get 2L of water each watering.

Show is a side view?

At a glance they look hungry but there might be some ph issues too. Ph normally shoots up when the medium is dry... nitrogen gets obsorbed at lower ph.

Soil or coco?

The one on the right looks hungry and thirsty! I would be willing to bet they are root bound in those pots.... get some air pots and never experience root binding again.

I think you can get through this by feeding and watering more regularly.

Home depot and any other local tractor supply will have some liquid nutes. Usually I have seen fox farm nutes but they will do. I would also get that ph around 6.2-6.4.

What stores are around? Is there a Walmart? Home Depot probably has something else. I tried that Pump and Grow. There's an old thread where I was going to grow some plants using nothing but Pump and Grow. I had to abort. Once I got it I could tell from the smell that it was nothing but Bokashi juice. It's not that it's bad but it isn't going to supply enough of what those plants need. Plus the damn pump bottles leak all over the place. I was extremely disappointed. Dr Earth has some decent products. Pump and Grow isn't one of them.

My Walmart only has MG, tractor supply has only dr earth dry, and this is the only liquid nutes from home depot. I just went to all 3.

You’re giving it only water and it looks deficient. Pretty clear to me that it’s hungry

That Kellogg's Organic Plus Fish and Kelp would be a better option.
