Whats up hydro. Looks like a bit of fert burn.

I would reccomend planting right in the natural soil with amendments unless you plan on moving them at some point or the natural soil is bad. It makes it so much easier plus they can build bigger root systems. With pots you have to water MUCH more frequently.

A good mix that works for me is

60% sunshine mix all purpose
30% composted manure
10% perlite

mixed with some natural soil if its good.


Good airation and drainage, comp manure for non burning food and decent moisture retention. If you want to make it even better add some worm castings:rasta:

Seeing how late it is I wouldnt fert them until they start flowering. The COMPOSTED manure will provide enough to get them through to flowering just fine and you wont have to worry about burning them. For flowering give them a high p fert. If its a chemical one start at 1/4 stregth and work up to full or even 1/2 stregth is enough and less risk of burning. Those chem ferts are very strong.

Good luck!:rastasmoke:
