ok so I have a grow journal going on and right now my largest plant, which is about to be in veg stage has a few yellow spots. they are small but i noticed them. I read that it can a range of things. I will post a pic later and maybe someone has had similar issues with seedlings. I think it may be a PH thing because of the miracle grow. I have a cheap PH tester you stick into the soil but i think it is a piece of shit. If anyone thinks it may be something else let me know. Temps have been a bit high but I did not think that is a sign of heat stress.

it doesn't look bad. maybe check under the leaves for mites or something sucking juice from under the leaf.

u should only use miricle grow to adjust ur ph. it usually leaves it around 7.5

try switching to something kind like alaska fish fert. it works real good with seedlings and young plants. it wont hurt to use just water for a few weeks to see if ur overdoing it. u can also try diluted urine that works well too

oh yeah, i transplanted, maybe it will recover, plant still fighting
transplant was done a little panicky, used basic loam soil, doesn't work like it did for me in outside grows
take a little time if you try transplanting, i didn't

yeh maybe i'll try a flush....i have water ph test strips and a cheap digital ph tester for the soil but i don't like the digi one i think it is too cheap and doesn't work...if i flush should i do 3x the normal amount and then test the runoff? i never transplanted before so id have to read up to make sure i do it right...plus have to get the right soil

that's what they tell us for flush, i did flush but it didn't work for me
maybe i wasn't thorough enough, i'm a newb so that's how it went
transplant involved a rootball wash which kind of traumatic to plant and me
for ph'ing you could get ph drop/aquarium test for 5 bucks from walmart, they are quite accurate
my outflow from the MG was 6.0 or less(that's as low as the drops are accurate for)
good luck

ok so i tried to flush last night but was not feeling good about it...i went out and bought some plain organic top soil...it is just soil with no fert...i added some lime and tried to keep the soil loose...i transplanted 4 plants...i washed the roots clean with some water which i lowered the ph to around 6...it was tough to get the roots down into the soil without messing them up but somehow i got them into this soil...i waterd and will wait until it is very dry before i water again....if they survive when and how much should i use nutes...http://liquid-earth.com/ these are the nutes i have...i am supposed to use grow and vigor together..but i do not understand how much to use i think the numbers are the ratio of each..if someone could take a quick look and maybe give me some help:wall:

ok here are two pics of my biggest which has been looking the worst..i know they look bad but no more burning just wilting which i think is from stress of the transplant but the one positive is that there was some new growth on the top

do you have any perlite in your soil mix? not saying that is you prob but roots do love as much O2 that they can get..the ones that you transplanted, is the burning progressing or staying the same? transplanting seedlings is very stressful to the plant. i would say that would be the cause of the wilting. i'm just curious but what brand of cheap digi ph pen did you use? i am in the process of getting one and don't want to get a piece of shit...
