These very dark green leaves ive got ! their growth have stunted !,. They look like they have been placed in a book and squashed , they are that flat!! and stiff, also look i little crystlised on the egde's !! rough to feel and also the new leave's coming through are very dark green on the outside edge.. Any heard of this b4 ????
@ the moment i can't get pics on but i will try later
really need the troubleshooting form filled out for more info. Just saying that the leaves are overly dark green sounds like maybe an overabundance of N, but hard to really tell just off the description you've left.:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Also some of the leave's tips have started to point down ! if thats of any help!
Alright after reading the troubleshooting form sounds like things should be going ok for you. As far as the dark green leaves, I really don't know, maybe someone else could help you a little more with that. Only thing I've seen that you've added is Superthrive, unfortunately I don't use that product or am I too familiar with it, so I really don't want to steer you wrong. Sorry:(
As far as your leaf tip starting to point down, thats just caused from your soil's pH being a little low. Almost everyone deals with this issue to some extent. Not really that big of deal as long as you are aware of what it is, and are careful when watering and feeding not to drop it anymore. If left completely unchecked it can result in lockout. However with you having new plants the soil's buffer are still present and you don't have anything to worry about. I have "problems" with Fox Farm Ocean Forest doing the same to my plants slightly for a couple weeks after transplanting.:thumbsup::thumbsup:
Thats cool mate thanx anyway for your time !Quote:

Would you say this is ph prob then , or over heating ???Quote:

i was adding stood tap water at 6.4 ph but the nutes in the soil were knocking it down meaning my run off was in the 5s!
ive added some garden lime to the top of the soil(raked it in),then watered once with lime water until my ph up arrives then ill be watering with ph'd tap water of around 7.8 hopeing my run off will be around 6.5......at the start of my grow the least i knew about was ph and its the most important thing to study in IMO.
have you noticed slow growth?
i have plus there grow wider rather than taller.
Yeah really slow , some leaves mainly the darker one's stoped growing altogether,. two plants only have four leaves , and ive had them in soil 10 days now , , ready for the bin they are !!Quote:

Is you new growth showing sighns of a dark colour around the side?
one of my plants looked like that but in my case it was due to too much nitrogen. I'm on my first grow so don't take my 2 cents to seriously unless someone backs up what I'm sayong but I could be wrong tho.
