mostly on the bottom and some in the middle. When I first transplant it in the ground there's no yellow leaves and few days later the leaves are turning yellow. I'm afraid the plant will die, will over feeding turns the leaves yellow?

Usually is a lack of nitrogen that causes leaves to yellow. You said you'd planted them outside. Do you know what your soil consists of? Did you change it? If not, it might be soil properties.

You just mix fertilizer high in nitrogen with your water. Most ferts have NPK value on the label. N stands for nitrogen. Shoot for one with N higher than P and K. Eg. 10-5-5.

i'm using advance nutes micro,grow and bloom. So I got to do is go to hydro store and pick up some nitrogen and mix with my water and feed it to the plants? which is a good nitrogen that you would recommend?

I said nitrogen is usually in your ferts already. Check NPK value in your advanced nutes. If its high in nitro then the culprit is different.

It should be written on the label. If not i would contact the manufacturer and ask him. That's what i did myself before.

Get your fertilizer read bottle / bag its going to say IE: NPK 10-5-5 10=N 5=P 5=K if your N is lower then other , new fertilizer should be on to do list asap , if not give a nice feeding to her and let her suck it up . NOTE: dont over feed or water or she will die watch her does she look sad= droopy ?

Even if you did use good soil the area around where you put her can and will suck the fertilizer right out of her unless you used a plastic underlayment to stop spread of rood and foreign soil contamination but most people dont do that , should of tested soil and fix the area your working with early in spring if working outside , making sure the area is good to grow in !!!

Just go easy with it. Try half dose at first. Weed is often sensitive to feeding. As I said the culprit might not be the lack of nitrogen at all. It might transplant shock. I would wait 2 more days to see if it recovers. If new growth is nice and green you are fine. Can you provide some pics bro?

the new grow is green i'll try to get some pics tomorrow. If it's the nitrogen can I just buy liquid nitrogen and feed it to the plants?
