hi all thank you for looking at this thread and hopefully you can help me the plant is skunk#1 i also have other plants growing but it is just the 2 skunk#1's showing these signs. the new growth seems to be alright and one is worse affected and is smaller than the other

-indoor
-soil,
-allmix
-bio bizz
-added extra perlite to the all mix
-bottled water ph 6.9
-19 days
-in the room there are 2 envirolites 125w & 200w they are on 24hrs a day
-i am waiting on the thermometer and hydrometer but will post as soon as it arrives should have been here today

they havent been given any nutes as i thought the soil would have enough in them even though it has been mixed with perlite id say i added another 30% but that is an estimate

Either your ph is off (should be 6.2-6.8) and yours is a TOUCH but not much or the soil is too "hot" for your seedlings and is burning them. I'm thinking it's the second one but I grow hydro so that's strictly a guess.

do you reckon i should leave it and see what happens or do i flush 1 of them i know the soil is too hot thats why i added extra perlite i think the one that is worse is now in b&q seedling soil with added perlite as i thought this could be the reason when it first started

do you think it could be a N deficiency or is it definitely an over fert job

this is the reason i mix my own soil.

op allmix and biobizz? you using grow? better yet you are using nutes?



imho hot soil kills fast. most seedlings cant take excess nutes. in soil yellow can be due to deficecies or ph issues, again causing deficencies.

just because you put 6.7 water in your soil doesnt mean your soil will be 6.7. that is determined by the reaction the water has to said soil. w/that said, what is your soils ph? also what nutes are in allmix? and which biobizz?

im no expert, but?

thats what it says on the side of the bag bio bizz all mix is too strong for seedlings but i did mix it so thought i might get away with it anyway people r saying there most probably over the worst of it and to leave it a bit and if they get worse then flush em

thats sound advice. w/nutes in soil there is no way to know what you have going. each time you water you inadvertantly nute also. flushing that soil might be worse than letting it sit.
