Heres a couple of pics of a outdoor grow (in pots).Some of the leafs are going like the ones in the photos.Could anyone please tell me what it looks like i'm up against here and if there might be any sort of cure or do I just ride it and hope it sorts itself out. This is my very first grow.Any help would be very much appreciated.

I hope this pis is ok I took it giving a birds eye view as it shows more of the problem. I am feeding them with nuts I bought from the garden centre that are designed for cannabis. I repotted it a week ago and put some homemade compost and about 2lb of grinded fish towards the bottom of the pot. I think its highly unlikely the roots would of got anywhere near the bottom yet. I'm not too sure about the soil I put it in as it was on the side of the road and a neighbour said I could help myself it had loads of twigs and sand mixed with it.I hope this helps. Thanks very much.

Hard to put a finger on that with my experience. The yellowing seems on the newer growth. I am no expert, but it looks like its low on nitrogen from that top view. Dont suppose you know the ph? Could be from just needing nitrogen, or possibly a nitrogen lockout from ph imbalance.

I dont know if these are going to help you any better? Is there an easy way for me to do a ph test if so what should it be and if I dont do anything will the problem get any worse.Also any tips would be very much appreciated.

Sorry had problems with the site last nite. You can get a ph test kit for soil at lowes, home depot, walmart etc to see what your ph is. You can also add fine dolomite lime to your soil and it will pretty well control your ph. If you have a deficency or a ph lockout, yes it will get worse unless you correct it.

Thank you very much Waggs for getting back to me. To be honest iv'e been pulling my hair out wondering what I should do. I will get one of those ph testers. I live in Spain but i'm sure I will find one. it's crazy because we are having really nice weather and the plant is growing more and more every day so it makes me wonder if it's hit the home made compost and fish already and its an adverse reaction to that. As you say the ph test is a must so I will let you know how it goes. Can you recommend a type of ph tester that is best for a complete novice. with thanks
 
it may also be a root problem as well. how is the drainage? and you can go to the pet store and buy a Ph tester as well :P your main objective is to have the water at about 6.3 a neutral base so the plant is able to absorb all the nutrients.

Thank you djcottnsocks. My drainage seems ok. I had to do something last night when the sun went down so I flushed it (probably the wrong thing to do) in prep for a ph test that I will do on monday. It's going to be interesting as I was of the mind if it's ok for humans it's bound to be ok for weeds. I think I am going to be somewhat surprised with the reading, lets be posotive and say I think this is going to be a very early lesson. Watch this space and thank you for your time.

foliar feed 1/4 strenth N fert at 8 am... get back with me at 8pm....
I will do without hesitation what you have suggested Amphi, as thick as I am I can see where your coming from if it helps I will take a photo before the morning feed and another 12 hours later and post them on here to see if you think its done any good or told us anything. Our times are somewhat different though as its now 04.52 here. I'm sure you will find it at some stage.Thanks again and have you had any joy with that tree lol.

O.K so what am I supposed to do.I have had some great feedback but at the end of the day as I am sure you are all aware the buck stops with me.In admissiion I have no sort of clue what my ph is of either the water I put into the plants or the soil that has become their home that i guess is just regarded as an school boy error and one that I wont forget(this is my first grow).The photos of the plant I have posted in this thread have made me think it is sick and possibly/probably becoming sicker yet my thoughts are somewhat tempered by the fact that the plant is growing at an alarming rate part of me wants to say fvck it lets see what happens and the other side of me says give it tView attachment 939655he best possible chance,so what would you do?? I think I know what I am gong to do,however in fairness what would you doView attachment 939654
Can anyone see any difference between the two plants taken 12 hours apart. Would love to know your views.
