i originally started with tap water but the leaves started turning yellow so i started letting the water sit for 24 hours before i watered the plants. That wasn't helping so i figured it was a nutrient deficiency and added fert to the water. I'm gonna PH test the plants today and post the results. Also what exactly does "flushing" mean? is it just watering the shit out of the plants? And how do i take a ph test, should i add some soil to regular water and test it or should i test the runoff?
pouyan Reviewed by pouyan on . Nutrition Deficiency -- I think iron? NEWBIE I NEED HELP i've attached 3 photos of my plants. At first they were doing fine but the growth is now stunted. the lower leaves are turning yellow and falling off so i added a fertilizer (15-15-15). I think i overfertilized which caused some of the leaf edges to burn. Regardless of the fertilizer, the soil has perlite, sand, peat moss, and a little bit bird manure. It is very spongy and seems fine, but the plants won't un-stunt their growth and the leaves continue turning yellow despite the fertilizer. Any Rating: 5
