Shumroom Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Hiya @tranlands Try an turn keyCaps off, you don’t have to shout First thing I noticed is that the plant right in front on the floor fan has some yellowing leaves down low, which leads me to thinking that you might be causing the temperature of the pot/medium to become too low(being moist and having too much airflow). You can get thermometers for measuring pot temperature to confirm this. I’d suggest turning the fan to face the wall or raising it up to have it pointing at the plants rather than the pots Plus keep all electrical switches etc off the floor, accidents happen, no need for it to result in fire or electrocution I’m not seeing any flower development yet, so just continue with the Grow feed for now Also you mentioned pH, I dunno if that’s just a measurement or if you’ve adjusted it to that, but you don’t need to pH in compost.

tranlands Posted August 12 Author Share Posted August 12 Alright shumroom, didn't mean to shout,i do have a rootit thermostat but haven't got the mat yet to fit size of tent,only got small one that i sort of used for cuttings,but tbf,i had better results without. the fan isn't a permanent fixture,but it does oscillate,had to use it coz me secret jardin packed up,not a very good lifespan,gonna order a spider farmer one,as alot of people use them on this site so cant be bad I;ve got a heater inbetween pots that comes on if temp drops below 25c,. During the day the temps are hittig 29c at the top of plants,my thinking was the soil must be getting some of that heat,but will invest in mat. So just give grow at 1ml/L?,how long for?,3rd week weds. I really didn't know that you don't have to ph in soil,so i can just add the nutes to the water and give plants?. Thank you for your reply atb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tranlands Posted August 12 Author Share Posted August 12 (edited) Bloody hell its getting worse!!!!! What are they lacking? Edited August 12 by tranlands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 From the top view I can see a gap around the edge of the pot which suggests you might be letting them dry out too much, you're also not feeding enough. What's this about a sprayer? You need a watering can mate. Certainly no need to pH in compost and make sure you're feeding with every watering. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badbillybob Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 the yellow leaves look like magnesium defficiency. also make sure you are on a proper wet/dry cycle, as in drench the pot till runoff, then only water when it weight is about a 1/3rd of what it was when watereed originally 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BilgePump Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Are you feeding every time you water? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello mate,yup ya right,i have let them dry out more than usual on a couple of occasions,because i thought that was the correct procedure,obviously wrong(something learned. i do own a watering can,but the sprayer,which i got from the hydroponics shop, makes life a little easier for people with physical disabilities like myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know about 1/3 of weight,I was letting them proper dryout ,another bit of info learnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BilgePump Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 1 minute ago, tranlands said: yes But yer not adding epsoms every watering? If you need magnesium it pays to add it every time not just once in a while 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
