Hi, I'm new to the site, this is my first real grow, and I have a question.
I have my plant (yes, only 1/10 seeds sprouted) in a 8"x8" pot for right now. Good soil, 2-3 weeks into vegetation, about 7" tall, and looking pretty healthy; maybe 4-5 leaf nodes (levels of branching), the first two are about 2" apart, but the last 3 are very closely spaced...So it basically looks like everything is going as planned!
Except.
I had a feeling that the slight yellowing on the bottommost leaves may have been caused by a lack of nitrogen...I know that the rounded (absolute bottommost) leaves yellow and fall off regularly, but the next level of leaves up had yellowed tips, so I added some vegetable peelings (celery leaves+ends, some lettuce) to add some N.
At the same time, I put a clear plastic bag (with some holes in it) around the pot and raised above the plant, essentially putting the plant into a greenhouse.
Were the brown spots caused by the addition of too much Iron + Magnesium from the celery, or from too much heat in it's new environment?
( I've been trying to keep this grow au naturale, adding only compost materials; no synthetic/store-bought fertilizers...)
