Brown/Yellow problem

i transplanted my soil recently and my plants might have been shocked a little. they were over watered at the time because my soil held too much water. anyways last time i watered them i added nutrients for the first time and i think i added too much. it said to do 1/4 of a teaspoon per gallon. and i used about an 1/8 of a tea spoon for a full cup of water.
please let me know what you think the problem is
i think its from too much nutrients

although i gave my other plant the same amount and it looks fine (the taller one in the picture)

Skip a feeding day, and follow directions. The damage won't heal, but keep an eye on new growth.
What's your ingoing water ph?

I think that dose was too concentrated. Pretty amazing huh? That 1/8 tsp can have alot of kick too it. You might just give some water to dilute the fertilizer down a little.

yeah thats what i did. i only watered it with pure water a day ago.my water ph is about 6.5
is that good or should i raise it?

by the way i have no way of telling what my ph level of my soil is right now
i need to get a meter. any suggestions?

my friend just came by with hella hydro nutrients and a ph level test kit for water. is the hydro nutrients good for my indoor soil set up?

I can't say I have experience in the matter of using hydro nutes for soil. I use the right tools for the job in the first place, but I don't have friends stopping by with free nutrients, either, lol. :thumbsup:

I'll bet you could contact the manufacturer, and ask them how to use the hydro formula as a soil nutrient.

6.5 ph before adding nuttrients is fine. But the nutrients will drop that number even further, which will likely make it 'out of range'.

You can't accurately use the test kit with runoff. The tinting in the water will skew the results of the color-coded kit.

Avoid Hannah meters, and those soil probe meters. Cheap garbage. My last couple of meters were a Milwaukee, but I dropped my last one a couple of weeks ago. Likely I'll get the same brand when I can afford it though.

a lot of times the only difference between soil and hydro nutes is that the hydro nutes contain ALL of the micronutes your plants won't get any from their medium, as soil plants will.

but like rusty said, contact the manufacturer. also, if you do use them make sure to flush at least once a month as they are very "salty".
