Thanks for all the help.
I try and put it in natural light whenever i can it reacts alot better than the artificial CFL lighting.
I took your advice and I drilled a few more holes at the bottom for more drainage.
I Havn't tried the sink water cause its still really moist.
As for the coco, i was talking about a bagged soil called black gold; coco blend.
Black gold being the brand, i wasnt gonna add coco by itself.

:thumbsup:

your plant is looking much better. Glad to see it getting healthy again for you.

Soil and coco do mix well; it's actually an ingredient in a couple of the better quality bagged soils. You just have to be certain that it's not going to scavenge calcium from your nutes. I'd mix in just a small amount of bone meal if you're going to add any significant amount of coco to a soil.

I grow in coco and I like it, but I don't know how coco mixed with soil would do???? They each have kind of different requirements. Whatever you choose for your medium, be sure to get some perlite and mix it in with the soil. It makes it drain better. You also need a pot with good drain holes. A regular, black plastic nursery pot is a lot better than the kind you have.

i think it might be nut burn but i didnt give it anything. ive been watering it with fresh rain water. The leafs were folded upward so i flushed it with hydrogen peroxide and fed her some water with epson salt. It looks better but the yellowing is persistent. It's in regular potting soil with a layer of lava rock at the bottom for drainage.

may i suggest a possible relocation to the plant problems forums???

Leaves folding upward indicates heat stress.
Flushing with peroxide- why did you do that?
Epsom salts is a good way to burn your plant and should only be used when you know you have a magnesium deficiency, and then I always recommend a foliar feed instead.
Now you have to flush all the salts out of there. You need lots of drain holes in your container. Lose the tinfoil- mylar or white paper is preferable. Get your temps down below 85 degrees TOPS.
Thank you KB for the WONDERFUL suggestion, I'll move this thread to plant problems just for you!

I flushed with hydrogen peroxide cause it kills the germs and put more oxygen in the soil
I read that if the leafs fold upwards it means it needs MG i put a pinch of salt to see if it would cure the folding leafs and it worked.
The Temp is around 65-70 Deg if not below 80 for sure, i have a fan in there.
I heard that putting foil inside prevents hot spots so i put it up.
