What is your experience level? (experienced...)

My first time with worm casting and all other grows turned out amazing but at a diff location and water.

.8) Size of container. 1 gallons to 5 gallons
.9) Germinated in soil
10) Source of water? tap) What's it's ph before adjusting? 7.0
11) Method of checking water ph. (ph pen, test strips, aquarium test kit...) all the above
12) Method of adjusting water ph. ( PH Down...)
13) Specific brand and N-P-K ratio for each bottle. Miracle grow 24-8-16 , Sensie Bloom for flowering and SensiCal Grow
14) How often are you watering between feedings, every 2days now, and how much per watering? 1 gal per plant depending on the pot and plant size. My soil is retaining a lot of Water and it takes 3 days for it to dry out with out wilting 100+ deg here where I am
15) Any additives or tea's? (Superthrive, CalMag,SensiCal, Epson Salt...)
16) Are your ph levels stable, or do they fluctuate? Soil PH is about 6.7 to 7.1 I do know this is high.
17) What is your ingoing water's ph? 6.8 ...your runoff ph? Dont know
18) Do you foliar feed? yes If so, with what, how often: Epson Salt and started using Sensie Bloom Since I figured my plants where water logged it took 5 days one time for them to dry out, and at what time do you spray? Morning or evening maybe every other day until I see improvement

Here is the deal I have several Bamboo's and they require a lot of water so in turn I was watering everyday including the girls/gents and then my girls started to decline and I was not fertalizing due to the fact that they are 4 to 8 inch tall and I have worm castings in the medium......My first time using casting it is at a rqatio of about 1/4 castings 3/4 Potting soil or miracle grow

I noticed in the mornings that soil still looked very wet so I stoped watering so often it is now about every 3 days I have soil moister tester and now when it says it is dry I then water and they are still turning pale on the bottom and unhealthy light green through out with thinner than normal fan leaves on my Mama skunk that was regerated from last year as you see in the big picture and some of the leaves have a 90 deg turn in them almost like over fertalization however I have not fed her any nuts for weeks because I thought it looked like over fert (No worm castings in her soil). I did feed it 3 days ago and I am still getting pretty Yellow leaves in the middle of the plant and the tips of pistals on some of the branches are turning dark where I have polinated her is this normal?

The babies are no more than 4 to 6 inches before the bottom leaves turn completly pale with stunted growth, I have revived some by using Epson salt and my Flowering nuts to ad boron and Sulfer folier feeding since I suspect some lock out.....Why are they dying with out being fed anything But Worm castings they should not need to be fed for several weeks....What is going on here? I never have had this problem before PH? to high I suspect But I have reduced my PH to 6 and it still accures. I have made several attempts with new seedlings in the same soil after a good flush with no success. Trying to determin exactly what is going on here, PS the leaves where pointing straight up from seedling to death

If they are dying young, are you feeding them too early? I think thats the most common reason peoples' plants die when they are just babies. Only feed with water until you get 4-5 nodes, then start at half strength and move up from there. Or if your dirt is staying too wet, the roots could be rotting or something. But I don't grow in soil so IDK what else to tell you.

Well some I did not feed at all "0" nada and some I did with the same result
could it be Phosphorus (P) deficiency: but according to the picture it does not say if it is Over Phosphorus (P) deficiency: or under Phosphorus (P) deficiency:
meaning so do I feed or Flush? Man I am so confused dont know which way to go..

i am going to bring the PH to 6 and water feed tomarrow anyway I feed them again today but I feel I masy need to Flush my Breader female since she was regenerated from last year. your thoughts on this particular problem.....As you can see there are different problems for the big ones vs the youngster's However some of the big ones did make it from baby's but barely and when they where teenagers I did not feed them at all cause they had castings in them


Oh yea Thanks for the reply's !
