it ain't right-please help

[mickireland]

my plants seem to be suffering.. they have yellow leaves on them what might be the possible problems? what are the solutions?

[postmandave]

lets see a pic , could be loads of reasons we need a pic.the postman.

[mickireland]

sorry i cant post a pic.. the leaves emerge green and just fade to yellow.. i fear i may have fertilised too soon and now salts have formed

[postmandave]

flush your plant now bro then post if it gets better. look at my thread in plant pr-obs to see if there are any pics that resemble your plant prob or any description that fits and we will try sort it out. some of the pics didn't upload so you may have to have a look through . sorry the postman.

[mickireland]

thanks for the suggestion.. so how much water should i add to flush? untill it flows from the bottom? more?

[Jdog7000]

yes,till it flows freely from the bottom.Make sure to flush every part of the medium(soil) and do it twice. Might be from hard water. Have you test your water with a TDS meter?

[mickireland]

after looking at your post in plant problems it looks like possible heat stress and excess nutrients.. do you know if its possible to improve the drainage even tho the plants are already potted? thanks for your help

[mickireland]

i havent checked it for tds however i do use tap water anyway of improving the tap water? does boiling it remove any harmful salts or chlorine

[mickireland]

when you say do it twice do u mean do the same again when the plant medium dries up again?

[LIP]

Flush 2 times

[mickireland]

when it dries after the first time is it?

[BlueDragonSmoke]

do it wait 8 hours and do it one more time...what is your PH at?cheak your tap water, then cheak the water that comes out of the bottom of your pot when you flush.
