Yellow and scorched leaves ... What's wrong?

This happened in just under a week, all the plants were just fine before. From what I understand yellow leaves come from Iron and Magnesium deficiency, but whta's with the scorched leaves? How should I threat this?

Thanks!

Plant Moisture Stress - symptoms and solutions

i think it may be a watering issue ,are they sitting in water ?

Nope. I use a water spray to water them, about 10 sprays per plant per day. I've been told no to water them too much ...

water until you get run off then let it get dry you don't need to water every day ,more like every three or four days


read the link i gave you on water stress

have you fed them? looks like a nitro def, usually with a nitro def the bottom fan leaves start to yellow and die off first. But remember if you havent't fed them yet make sure you use about half the recmd directions the first week to ten days when they are that young also what type of soil are you using? looks a little heavy to me, cant really see that much perlite in there....

I use gardening soil, the same kind that is used for flowers ... Don't really thing there's perlite in there ...
I'll try using some fertilizer, since the lower leaves still keep dying off ...

I found out my largest plant grew it's roots out of the soil pot and into the ceramic pot ... No wonder it stared dying. I moved it to a bigger pot with new soil and trimmed off the dead leaves.


I also menaged to find a fertilizer 'round the house. Its NPK is 7-4-6, that's ok right? I'll try to get the 12-6-6 when I get my car back from the shop ... So, I fed the plants with about 80% of the prescribed amount, hope they get better. This is how they look now ... (Just over a month old, 10cm give or take)

Are u sprayin the actual plant?

Nope, I spray the soil. Not the leaves.

ok ok u should stop witht he spraying now seein as they are out of the seedling stage and looks to b in the vege stage id wait for the next water then water close to a litre or a litre or enough to fill the catch tray a bit...also u dont want them to get root bound so transplant into a bigger pot and make sure u have enough water around the roots becuase if too dry they will become bound

Alright, so I moved the plants out to the balcony to get more sunlight. I water them with about a liter of water every second day or so (When the soil gets dry) and put in some fertilizer every one in a while. I got two of them now, one for growth (NPK746) and one for flowering (NPK68. The plants seem to be getting better, got some new leaves on top and they got their color back, but the lower leaves still get dry and fall off. I also noticed some brown spots on one of the leaves ... I'm out of ideas here ...



The plants are now a month and a half old.
