i need help to identify this problem

[cesarhorta]

thank´s for you´re tip whatsthatsmell. i have 4 to 6 holes at bottom of the pots and i take the cap at the bottom of the pots. when you say drill some holes in the medium, you mean the medium of the pot or in the bottom medium?

[whatsthatsmell]

you can drill some holes in the pots towards the bottom, but depending on how slow your drainage is, you might want to drill some more higher up as well, dont go to deep to hit the roots, you just want to drill holes in the plastic. Then go get some chinese take-out, grab some chop sticks. use one chop stick to poke some holes into your medium, being careful not to kill your roots, this will help get some air into the root system and also help with the drainage. You dont want your medium to hard like the ground around your house, when you do the flush, seeing some air bubbles coming up is a good sign.....

Hope that helps

ok now i understand, i have to drill some holes in the medium(soil). my medium is not hard is soft but hold the water very well and have normal drainage. but seems to me that holds more than drain out. tomorow i see how the babies are, and i wait till the soil dry to make another flush with more holes at bottom and make some holes in the medium. later i tell if work. thankz whatsthatsmell.

i flush them 2 days ago and they get worse, what i have too do more, flush again? or not water at all? please help.

Did you give a dilute solution of nutrients with the last flush?
You can foliar feed in the meantime.

[cesarhorta]

no i just flush them with tap water, here some pictures.
i can foliar feed with nuts half strenght? or less?
today i discover some larvae from withefly and spray them with insecticide. could this be the problem?
p.s. the pots are very heavy with the flush thing. some of the bud leaves start to have the same problem curl down and burn tips yellow leaves and some dark brown. only the top leaves point upwards the rest of the fan leaves curled down

can anybody help me here?

Drill some more holes in your pots right now, they aren't draining. To start with go about 1cm up from the bottom of the pot and drill a 1cm hole. Do this 6-8 times around the bottom of the pot. (Next time you grow, mix about 30% vermiculite in with your soil.)

Are you adjusting the pH of your water before you put it into the pot?

PC :smokin:

[cesarhorta]

i dont need to adjust the ph of the water, the ph of my tap water is 6.8, i read in some book the correct ph of water should be 6.5 to 7.0, is this right?
im go to make some more holes in pots, is just this ones that give me problems the others plants are just fine. i think that maybe they have some kind of lock up nuts, what did you think? they not lost any smell, and if was overwater they smell kinda rot, so this is out. this is because my friend told me that i overwater this ones, but i think that is not the problem.
P.S. any tips welcome.
